Manchester City: 5 City players with the highest transfer values

Man City possess currently one of the best and richest squads in Europe and all of this is down to the smart investments made by the club over the years. Such is the strength of their squad, that they possess almost two players per position and they can easily afford squad rotation without hampering the strength of the squad. This has enabled them to compete across all the competitions in the country as well as in Europe and they are going for the unprecedented Quadruple!

Along with this, players like Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero are in the form of their life and this has increased their transfer market value. Many teams are keeping a close watch on City's players and have shown an interest in buying them in summer. Today lets have a look at the top 5 players at City that possess the highest transfer value in the market according to Transfermarkt.

#5 Sergio Aguero

One of the best strikers of his generation, Aguero has gone on to become a City legend through his contributions over the years. Aguero has scored some important goals in City's history like the title-winning goal against QPR and goals in the cup finals and the Champions League.

He is the all-time leading goalscorer of Man City with 227 goals in 327 appearances for the club. This season, the Argentine is in the form of his life with already 28 goals and 7 assists to his name in 37 matches. Aguero will be of utmost importance to City in the final stages of the season, as they go in the hunt for all the trophies. Aguero has a transfer market value of about 67.5 million Euros. His contract at the club runs up to 2021.

Aguero has been in fine form this season and would be looking to add more to his tally.

#4 Bernardo Silva

Perhaps the most improved and best player at City this season, as many City fans would agree, Bernardo Silva has been everpresent in the City side this season. His hard work and persistence have earned him praises from the manager and other players from the club.

Bernardo has taken the opportunity of De Bruyne's injury and turned it into gold. He is now the first name on Guardiola's team sheet and that in itself is a big compliment.

Signed from Monaco last season, Bernardo was deemed as a natural replacement of David Silva. But the Portuguese has found himself not only the midfield but also on the wings.

His role has been immense in City's success this season and he would hope to add more in the final few months of the season. Bernardo’s performances have seen his transfer market value go up to 72 million Euros. His contract at the club runs till 2025.

#3 Leroy Sane

The most exciting prospect that City currently have in their squad, the talented winger has it all to one day become the very best. He is known for his strong left foot and his vicious runs on the wings. He is one of the fastest footballer in the game right now. He also has an eye for set piece, with the German scoring some important free kicks for City this season. Sane's talent was clearly visible on the pitch when he came to City two seasons ago.

He suffered a major disappointment though when he was left out of the German national squad for the World Cup 2018 despite having a wonderful season. But Guardiola encouraged him to not let this exclusion affect him and instead try to better himself. He definitely worked on his coaches advice and Sane is now having a wonderful campaign with 14 goals and 17 assistant to his name in 37 appearances. His market value is currently about 100 million Euros. His contract at the club run until 2021.

#2 Raheem Sterling

We can all agree that Sterling is probably the most improved player in Guardiola's tenure at City. He used to struggle at finishing in the front, but now he has improved so much so that he is now one of the top scorers of the league. Guardiola has helped Sterling to mature not only in the game but also outside of it. This has helped him to put aside the criticisms that he faces from the fans around the country.

Sterling is known for his runs on the wings and he can operate on both wings. He has also become a regular starter in Gareth Southgate's Three Lions team. He has been in superb form this season, with 19 goals and 16 assists to his name in 40 appearances for City. If Sterling continues to perform in the same manner, he could well be on his way to becoming one of the all-time Premier League greats. He has a transfer market value of about 108 million Euros and his contract at the club run till June of 2023.

#1 Kevin De Bruyne

Despite being injured through most parts of the season, De Bruyne still finds the top of our list and all of this is down to a superb campaign the previous season. The Belgian was the most important player in Guardiola's Centurion team as he used to do all the craftiness in the midfield. He was also the runner up in the PFA player of the season awards which propelled his market value.

He is known for his set-piece play and his superb deliveries from the crosses. He was also labelled to have the best right foot in Manchester since David Beckham! He had 12 goals and 21 assists to his name last season.

The Belgian also had an impressive World Cup campaign in Russia and he helped Belgium to finish third in the World Cup, which was their highest finish. De Bruyne has 4 goals and 4 assists to his name this season but he has been largely sidelined from the action due to injuries. He has a whopping transfer market value of around 150 million Euros. His contract at the club runs till 2023
