#3 Renan Lodi - €50 million
Atletico Madrid left-back Renan Lodi's career has skyrocketed since joining the club. After signing a six-year contract with the Rojiblancos, Renan Lodi immediately became the club's first-choice left-back, starting 28 games in the La Liga in the 2019-20 campaign.
Lodi never got to represent Brazil at youth level but earned his call up to the senior squad aged 21 and has already turned in a few impressive performances. What's exciting about Lodi is the fact that he is just 22-years-old and shows a lot of maturity.
In a world where most left-backs are more equipped to go forward than defend, Lodi is a bit of an exception. He loves a tackle and never shies away from one. Don't get us wrong though, he's excellent with the ball at his dancing feet as well.
#2 Andrew Robertson - €75 million
Jurgen Klopp seems to get a better read on talents than any other big club manager in the Premier League. He roped in Robertson from Hull City in the summer of 2018 for an initial fee of £8 million.
At Anfield, under the guidance of Klopp, Robertson has blossomed into one of the finest left-backs in the world. He has made that left flank his own and has made a habit out of overseeing all kinds of activity on his side of the pitch with the grit of a war general.
Robertson's is one of the signings that transformed Liverpool from entertainers to world beaters. Together with Trent Alexander-Arnold, he forms perhaps the best fullback duo in the league. Robertson's pace and crossing ability has earned him a lot of admirers and he will continue to be a vital cog in Klopp's Liverpool side for the foreseeable future.
#1 Alphonso Davies - €80 million
The Bayern Munich youngster took the world by storm as the Bavarians cruised through a triumphant 2019-20 season where they won the continental treble.
Alphonso Davies had to step into David Alaba's shoes at left-back and he has ensured that Alaba can focus on his new role at centre-back without a care in the world about the spot he vacated on the left wing.
Bayern Munich signed Davies from MLS outfit Vancouver Whitecaps in 2018 for a an initial fee of £13 million rising to £22 million with performance-related bonuses. Fans who watched Bayern's humbling of Barcelona will never forget Alphonso Davies dribbling past a host of bodies before setting up Joshua Kimmich for a tap-in.
