Every Champions League-winning club in this millennium has featured a terrific player in that position because of the importance of the holding midfielder, and with that in mind, we take a look at the five most expensive defensive midfielders in the world right now. This Publication can be found on Transfermarkt...CONTINUE READING
6. . Casemiro – 50 million euros
Casemiro has been arguably the best defensive midfielder in all of Europe so far this season. The Brazilian’s consistent performances in front of the defense have made him an unquestionable starter for his side, and he is a major contributor to Manchester United’s strong defensive performance this season.
5. Fabinho – 55 million euros
Fabinho, a Brazilian midfielder who previously played for Real Madrid’s reserve team, has emerged as one of the most accomplished holding midfielders in the world in recent years. Although Mo Salah may receive the majority of the attention, it is the Brazilian’s grunt effort that keeps the squad moving.
4. Joshua Kimmich – 80 million euros
Kimmich is a player of the highest caliber, but because he plays in Germany, he does not receive the credit that he deserves. It is not difficult for him to play either right back or in the middle of the field.
3. Rodri – 80 million euros
Rodri is universally considered the best central midfielder in the world. The fact that the team managed by Pep Guardiola spent 80 million euros to acquire the Spanish player in the summer contributes to the player’s high market value. In any case, he is a terrific talent who has the potential to be an invaluable asset to his squad.
2. Declan rice – 80 million Euros
Rice can now play in a variety of systems and is more composed under pressure. He also no longer tires easily when carrying the ball for long distances.
As a result, he has developed into a versatile performer who is comfortable in several different roles. So it is no surprise that he has become a starter for the England national team as well.
A huge voice on the pitch and in the West Ham United locker room, Rice currently has a market value of €80 million.
1. Aurelien Tchouameni – 80 Million Euro
Tchouameni has made the transfer seamless and that is maybe the biggest compliment one can give him right now. Losing a five-time Champions League winner Casemiro and an experienced head sometimes produces a minor fall in form, if not a significant one.
However, Real Madrid has not experienced one, solely because Tchouameni has previously been able to recreate the same presence in the center of the pitch.
