#1 Kevin De Bruyne - Manchester City (€150million)
No introduction is required for the Belgian international, as under the realm of Pep Guardiola, De Bruyne has developed into one of the most feared players in all of football. His pace is one of his extremely important traits, with which he is able to lead the midfield along with David Silva. A set-piece specialist and a regular goalscoring midfielder, he has been heralded by many as a future Ballon d'Or winner.

While Chelsea sold him for a mere sum of €22million, De Bruyne now ranks at the top as the most expensive midfielder in all of football. Transitioning into a box to box midfielder and an attacking midfielder at multiple occasions, the Belgian has made a name for himself.
His performance at the world cup too has given a boost to his current transfer value, as he was able to take his side all the way to the semifinals of the tournament. While he is currently injured, very little is known about his return to the Etihad.
