#3 Dani Carvajal - €60 million

Real Madrid Celebrate After Victory In The Champions League Final Against Liverpool

Dani Carvajal will go down in history as one of the most stout-hearted footballers thanks to the way he made a comeback after suffering a heart disease last season which could potentially have ended his career.

The Spaniard has merchandised himself as an epitome of a modern day full-back in the world via his showings for Los Blancos in the past couple of seasons.

Carvajal is not only a menacing presence for the opposition at the right flank due to his superb defending but he can also brilliantly link up with his teammates further forward, sending in crosses and inch-perfect passes to help the attacking unit up front.
