And in his last weekly letter, he announced his ranking of the highest market value big league-debutants.
In order to determine its classification, the CIES has established the following conditions: the players are all under 23 years of age and play their first season in one of the five main European Championships (France, Germany, England, Spain, Italy). Some elements have already been able to play in another league for one or more years.
RB Leipzig holds pits

A must-have starter since his arrival from Dinamo Zagreb last summer, the Croatian international (10 caps) is worth an estimated €96.2 million! He is his teammate and attacking midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai (21 years old, €60.3 million), a defector from RB Salzburg, as well as one of the new nuggets of FC Barcelona’s training center, midfielder Gavi (17 years old) for , 58. €6 million).
