Phillipe Coutinho first came into notice during the 2013-14 Premier League season when he along with Steven Gerrard, Raheem Sterling, and Luis Suarez almost won the league for Liverpool. However, after a few seasons at Liverpool, he made it clear that he wanted to join Barcelona and eventually his wish turned true in 2018 when he joined Barcelona for £105 million.

In a similar way to Dembele, his contract is also full of add ons, and his deal could reach a potential £142 Million.

Kylian Mbappe first burst into the scene while playing for Monaco in the title-winning season of 2016-17. The world's most expensive player by the ranking of CIES, Mbappe is arguably the best player under the age of 23 in the world and is one of the biggest future stars of the sport.

After a breakthrough 2016-17 season, he signed a one-year loan deal with PSG the next season which was converted into a permanent deal the next season at the cost of £180 Million including all the add ons.
