#3 Marco Asensio (€35 million)
The latest attacking midfielder coming out from Spain, Marco Asensio has really captured everyone’s imagination with his good performances in pre-season, UEFA Super Cup, and for Real Madrid whenever he has got the opportunity. Blessed with excellent passing skills, vision and intelligence, Asensio’s decision-making skills are already at a very high level despite the fact that he is still only 21.
The Real Madrid youngster also has great close control and dribbling skills, and he is never shy of taking on a player. Capable of scoring spectacular goals, Asensio’s performances have been so good that many Madrid fans feel that he is already higher up in the pecking order compared to established stars like James Rodriguez and Isco.
Rafael Nadal on a phone call to Perez convinced the Real Madrid president to buy Asensio from Mallorca, and Zidane and the Real Madrid board will be thanking the tennis star for recommending them to sign Asensio. The Real Madrid youngster is set to be Spain’s main playmaker in the coming years.
