The transfer market value of a player is a dynamic figure that is influenced by a number of factors. Firstly, the age of a player plays a crucial role in determining his value as young players have potential for development and often have a higher market value.
Performance and skill level are also crucial, with consistent and exceptional displays on the field generally driving player's value upwards. A player's position can also significantly affect their market worth as certain positions are in higher demand than others.
Additionally, the contract status of a player and the remaining years on their current deal can have an impact on their market value. Players who are in the final year of their deals often command lower fees.

Rodri is one of the most vital cogs in City's system. This became very apparent in recent weeks. Guardiola's side has suffered three defeats in their last four matches in all competitions while the Spaniard remained suspended after picking up a straight red card against Nottingham Forest (September 23).
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that he is one of the Premier League's most valuable players.

Saka is also capable of whipping in crosses with either foot and this adds an air of unpredictability to his game. The Englishman was one of Arsenal's standout performers as they gave City a run for their money in the Premier League last season.
