Raphael Varane, £72 million

Ad

The Frenchman is one of the best young defenders in the world after his brilliant World Cup exploits in Russia. He was influential for Real Madrid during the past few seasons and also played a stellar role in their successful European campaigns. The 25-year-old has made 234 appearances for Real Madrid and won every title in Spanish football. Varane has a long career ahead of him and if he remains fit at Real Madrid for few more years, he has all the potential to become one of the greatest defenders of all-time.

Samuel Umtiti, £63 million

Another center-back on this list who has won the World Cup with France this summer. The Frenchman was highly impressive for Barcelona last season and played a big part in their domestic (LaLiga and Copa del Rey) success. The 24-year-old has made 83 appearances for the Blaugrana so far and has played some exceptional football. He has been solid at the back and could play a big part in Barcelona’s future. He was also instrumental for Didier Deschamps in Russia.
