#2 Philippe Coutinho - Barcelona (€150million)
The little magician's contribution in Barcelona's success this season has been unparalleled, as he has transitioned into a complete midfielder at the Camp Nou, switching from the left side as a winger to an attacking midfielder on multiple occasions. He is mostly known for his long-range shots, inter-plays, and intelligence.
At Barcelona, Valverde has given him a deeper role, something that has allowed him to explore through the empty spaces. Combining with the likes of Arthur Melo, Coutinho has had a blast since the beginning of this season.
With his transfer to Barcelona last January, La Blaugrana signed him for an estimated fee of €130million, since then, Coutinho has only grown in stature both on and off the pitch. He is currently rated at a price tag of €150million, making him the second most expensive midfielder in the world. With Barcelona's current form being extremely strong, Coutinho could lead his side all the way to the Champions League finals.
