Though Robert Lewandowski has been the standout player for Bayern Munich over the last two seasons, Joshua Kimmich has played an equally important role for the club in the middle of the pitch.

The 26-year-old German midfielder has blossomed into one of the finest players in his position. Kimmich continues to impress with his ball control, distribution skills and ability to read the game.

He has a penchant of finding space in midfield, and is also very adept in winning the ball in key positions. Kimmich has seen his reputation grow by leaps and bounds over the last few seasons, and so has his transfer value.


Bruno Fernandes (Left Attacking midfielder) - €90 million

One of the players who had an amazing 2020 campaign is Manchester United's talisman Bruno Fernandes. The player, who secured a move from Sporting Lisbon to Old Trafford in January 2020 in a deal worth €55 million, is now one of the most in-form players in Europe.

The Portuguese midfielder has had an amazing start to life at the English club, for whom he has been in fine goalscoring form. Fernandes has already been involved in 50 goals across all competitions for the Red Devils, and is the top-scoring midfielder in Europe this season.

He is now worth almost twice what Manchester United paid for him in January last year. If his purple patch continues, the sky is truly the limit for Bruno Fernandes.


Kevin De Bruyne (Right attacking-midfielder) - €120 million

Vision and ball-distribution skills are two key attributes for any creative midfielder. Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne has been blessed with both in abundance.

The Belgian playmaker is one of the best passers of the current generation, as he picks up perfectly weighted passes for his teammates.

De Bruyne has yet again hit double digits in assists this season. He is on track to match his own record of 20 assists in a single Premier League campaign as City march towards another league title.

The Belgian is currently valued at €120 million, which makes him the joint-most valuable player in the Premier League alongside Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane.
