#7 James Rodríguez - €80 million
Due to the dearth of game time under Zidane at Real Madrid, James Rodriguez was compelled to join Bayern Munich on loan in July 2017.
He made great strides at Allianz Arena in his debut season, netting 8 goals and engineering 14 assists in the 39 appearances he made. The Colombian was not able to make much of an impact apart from 2 assists in the World Cup in the wake of his injury which also saw him absent in the Round of 16 clash with England.
Nevertheless, his market value has continued to rise in defiance of a below-par World Cup campaign.
