#3 Mason Mount (England) | €75 million

A product of Chelsea's academy, Mason Mount was one of the best midfielders in the Premier League last season.

There were doubts as to whether Mount had the qualities to be a Chelsea player when he first started playing for them, but the England international has proved to be a scintillating footballer. Highly creative with good technical skills and the ability to occupy good spaces, Mount has become a mainstay for both club and country.

The 22-year old was one of England's best players during their group stage games against Croatia and Scotland. Mount will be crucial if Gareth Southgate's side are to do well in the latter stages of Euro 2020.


#2 Bruno Fernandes (Portugal) | €90 million

Arguably the best midfielder in the Premier League last season, Bruno Fernandes is enjoying his best spell as a professional footballer with Manchester United.

Fernandes has completely transformed the Red Devils since his arrival from Sporting CP in January 2020. The Portugal international has added creativity, goals and intensity from midfield, and he is already a fan favorite among the Old Trafford faithful.

The 26-year old has been subdued for Portugal at Euro 2020 so far. Despite featuring in both their games, Fernandes has been kept quiet by opposition defenses and more will be expected from him at Euro 2020.


#1 Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium) | €100 million

One of the best players in world football, Kevin De Bruyne has once again been showing his class and quality at Euro 2020.

De Bruyne endured an injury-prone but good Premier League campaign with Manchester City, which culminated with him winning the PFA Players' Player of the Year. Renowned for his progressive passing and his drilled crosses into the box, the Belgium international has thrived under the management of Pep Guardiola.

The 29-year old was at his influential best during Belgium's game against Denmark at Euro 2020. He was not fully fit during the start of the competition, but is likely to be more involved from now on.
