We're just days away from Euro 2020. With so many star-studded teams going into battle for continental supremacy, it's difficult to predict what's going to unfold over the next month or so. A raft of European national sides go into Euro 2020 boasting enough talent to fill two teams.
Some of the biggest and most high-profile stars in the top five leagues in Europe will strut their stuff at Euro 2020. So there's no doubt that the tournament is going to be a blockbuster event in the world of football.
Euro 2020 will feature some of the most valuable players in the world
While the national sides battle it out on the big stage, the clubs will be focused on the summer transfer window. As a result, we're going to be hearing about the valuations of various players far too often over the next couple of months.
Transfer market value is a good measure of a player's potential, talent and long-term effectiveness. Without further ado, let's take a look at the five most valuable squads at Euro 2020.
#5 Portugal - €872.5 million
Defending European champions Portugal have upgraded since their Euro 2016 triumph. They have a plethora of extremely talented individuals in their squad and are one of the teams that have been forecasted to have a long run at Euro 2020.
They have a squad that's valued at €872.5 million. Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is the most valuable player in the team. His transfer market valuation stands at €90 million. Atletico Madrid attacker Joao Felix's valuation is at €80 million. Premier League Player of the Year Ruben Dias is rated at €75 million.
Fernando Santos has a huge talent pool to tap into and it says a lot about a team when Cristiano Ronaldo is only their sixth most valuable player. The 36-year-old is rated at €45 million currently.
#4 Spain - €906 million
Spain have had rather underwhelming returns at major tournaments of late. After crashing out of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in the group stage, La Roja couldn't make it past the Round of 16 at Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup.
But that's not a fair reflection of their talent. Spain have one of the strongest squads going into Euro 2020. Atletico Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente is the player with the highest transfer market valuation presently. He is valued at €80 million.
Real Sociedad winger Mikel Oyarzabal, Manchester City holding midfielder Rodri and Barcelona youngster Pedri are all valued at €70 million. They have as many as 12 stars who have a valuation of more than €40 million. Koke, Ferran Torres and Pau Torres are all valued at €50 million or more.
#3 Germany - €936.5 million
Germany is yet another national team that used to be 'all that' but has faded drastically on the international stage in recent times. Die Mannschaft has plenty of world-class footballers at their disposal but they haven't been able to pool in their resources to good effect.
Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich is the player with the highest valuation in Joachim Low's side. He is valued at €90 million. Central midfielder Leon Goretzka is joint-second with a valuation of €70 million. Winger Serge Gnabry and attacking midfielder Kai Havertz are valued at €70 million each as well.
Timo Werner and Leroy Sane are the next two on the list, and they have valuations of €65 million and €60 million respectively. Euro 2020 could very well be the tournament where Germany make a proper comeback as their firepower is incredible. They also have a great mix of youth and experience.
#2 France - €1.03 billion
The reigning world champions France are among the favourites to win Euro 2020. Didier Deschamps has most of his 2018 FIFA World Cup winning squad in tact and most of them are still at the peak of their powers. It is no surprise then that Les Bleus have one of the most valuable squads heading into the tournament.
Kylian Mbappe is the player with the highest valuation at the tournament. The 22-year-old is valued at €160 million. The second highest is Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane at €70 million. = is tipped to leave Los Blancos this summer.
Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman is valued at €65 million. Manchester United's midfield stalwart Paul Pogba, Barcelona star man Antoine Griezmann and Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde have a valuation of €60 million.
The in-form N'Golo Kante is valued at €55 million and Ousmane Dembele, whose stocks have dipped considerably over the past couple of seasons, is valued at €50 million.
#1 England - €1.27 billion
England have one of the youngest squads at Euro 2020. That is also the main reason behind their extremely high valuation. The Three Lions are packed to the brim with some of the most exciting youngsters in the world. While they are not exactly the 'Golden Generation', they are still expected to have a good tournament.
England captain and centre-forward Harry Kane is valued at €120 million. Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho's valuation is at a strong €100 million. He is followed closely by Manchester City's Raheem Sterling with an €90 million valuation.
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is valued at €85 million, while Phil Foden has a valuation of €80 million. England have as many as 10 players who are valued at €50 million or more. With so many promising and talented individuals at their disposal, it would be a pity if they don't have a great run at Euro 2020.
