#5 Julian Weigl (€27 million)
Just 21 and already a full German international, Julian Weigl has been one of Borussia Dortmund’s most consistent players in the last two years. His calm and composed presence on the ball and his brilliant positioning has seen him become one of the game’s best defensive midfielders.
In fact, Weigl has been so good that he has been continuously linked with a move to Real Madrid with manager Zidane reported to be a huge fan of the young German’s talents. While Weigl is undoubtedly talented and full of potential, what makes him a star is his unmatched work ethic.

A hard tackling midfielder who is never shy of taking responsibility, Weigl is one of Bundesliga’s crown jewels and Dortmund will do well to hold on to this precociously talented German international.
