# Defensive Midfielder: Rodri (Spain) - €70 million
Making his first appearance at a major tournament, Rodri has played in all but one game for Spain at Euro 2020.
Trending
The 25-year-old, who plays in defensive midfield, has made over 100 appearances in all competitions in just two seasons at Manchester City. A key cog in Pep Guardiola's winning Premier League team last season, Rodri has continued his good form at Euro 2020 as well.
Renowned for his ability to win possession and kickstart attacks, Rodri will be looking to inspire Spain to a record fourth European Championship title.
# Defensive Midfielder: Nicolo Barella (Italy) - €65 million
Nicolo Barella, capped 26 times by Italy, has played thrice at Euro 2020 thus far; he stayed on the bench for the Wales game.
The Inter Milan midfielder has impressed in all three games and is likely to start against Belgium in the quarterfinals. Regardless of whether he starts against the Red Devils or not, Barella is expected to play a part in the marquee game.
Barella is coming off a fine season in club football, playing 36 of 38 games in Inter's Serie A-winning campaign, scoring thrice and assisting nine times.
Central Midfield: Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium) - €100 million
Kevin De Bruyne has been a player par excellence for both Manchester City and Belgium over the years.
The orchestrator in midfield for both club and country, De Bruyne has had a fabulous Euro 2020 campaign. After missing the tournament-opener against Russia, the 30-year-old marked his Euro debut in style, scoring and assisting in his team's come-from-behind win against Denmark.
De Bruyne, a three-time Premier League winner with City, also provided an assist in the 2-0 win over Finland. However, tournament favorites Belgium are fretting over his fitness ahead of the marquee Italy clash as he did not attend the final training season.
# Left Winger: Raheem Sterling (England) - €90 million
Despite enduring a rather indifferent 2020-21 season with Manchester City, Raheem Sterling has had a memorable Euro 2020 campaign.
The 26-year-old winger has scored in three of England's four games at the tournament thus far, netting the winners against Croatia and Czech Republic. He also scored the opener in the blockbuster Round-of-16 clash with Germany as England moved to within three wins of a first major title in more than five decades.
Sterling is the first English player to score his team's first three goals at a major tournament. He will look to continue his rich vein of form when England take on surprise quarterfinalists Ukraine in Rome for a place in the Euro 2020 semifinal.
# Right Winger - Jadon Sancho (England) - €100 million
Jadon Sancho is widely regarded as one of the brightest young talents in the game. He enjoyed a fruitful stint with Borussia Dortmund that included 50 goals and 64 assists from 137 starts.
Surprisingly, despite his creative flair and ability to score goals, 21-year-old saw only six minutes of action at Euro 2020. That's because manager Gareth Southgate has preferred defensive solidity to creative flair, despite being spoiled for choice, considering the embarrassment of riches at his disposal.
Sancho, who is close to a move to Manchester United, is an unlikely starter in the Euro 2020 quarterfinal against Ukraine in Rome on Sunday. But he could play a significant role if the Three Lions happen to chase the game.
