#3 Ruben Dias

Ruben Dias' stock has skyrocketed over the past year. The Portuguese joined English giants Manchester City in a move worth £62 million in 2020.

Starting out with Benfica, the defender sparked admiration from suitors after his performances in the Portuguese league. In 2020, Dias joined City and went on to break several records.

Dias has already won the Premier League and League Cup in his first season with the club. He also won the fabled Premier League Player of the Season award, becoming one of only four defenders in history to win it. His defensive abilities have drawn universal praise, and the Portuguese looks set to carry his form into Euro 2020.

Still only 24, Dias commands a market value of £68 million. With Portugal looking to retain their trophy, all eyes will be on Dias at Euro 2020.


#2 Joao Felix

Joao Felix is currently the second most valuable player in the Portugal team at Euro 2020. The stalwart has impressed this season, winning La Liga with Atletico Madrid.

Originally from Benfica, Felix impressed audiences with his blistering pace and goalscoring ability. In 2019, Felix moved from Benfica to Atletico Madrid in a shock deal worth a reported £113 million, making him the second most expensive teenager and the fourth most expensive signing of all time.

In the two seasons since, critics have been quick to point out that he is yet to justify his price. Although he did win the league title with Atletico, one common criticism is that Felix is yet to reproduce the numbers he did with Benfica.

Still only 21, Felix has only three full seasons of club football under his belt. Currently valued at £72 million, Euro 2020 will be the perfect opportunity for Joao Felix to silence critics and prove his worth.


#1 Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes has been the talk of the town ever since his move to England. Signed by Manchester United in 2020 for a reported £67.6 million, Fernandes has taken England by storm with his performances.

Formerly with Sporting Lisbon, Fernandes is well known for his attacking ability. Playing as an attacking midfielder, Fernandes managed an impressive 18 goals and 12 assists in the league to enable Manchester United to finish second last season. His figures are far higher than any of his United teammates, with the Portuguese scoring a goal in almost every other game.

His market value has shot up by almost 20 percent over the past 18 months, with Fernandes currently valued at £81 million. If Bruno can carry his club-level form into Euro 2020, it is doubtless that his value will only increase.
