#3 Kalidou Koulibaly - €60 million
Defenders have seen their market values rise over the last decade. Players like Virgil Van Dijk have proven that addition of a strong central defender can go a long way in changing a club's fortunes.
Trending
Kalidou Koulibaly is one such defender who adds a lot of steel to his side with his tough-tackling and timely interceptions. He was a key figure in I Partenopei's title-winning run in the Coppa Italia last season.
He is part of a very strong Senegal national team at the moment, and being the captain, is a commanding presence whenever The Lions of Teranga are in action.
#2 Sadio Mane - €120 million
Liverpool have one of the strongest squads in the world at the moment, having made it to the UEFA Champions League final two times in the last three campaign and lifting the Premier League title last season.
Sadio Mane's rise to becoming probably the best left winger in the world at Liverpool has been phenomenal, and looking back, his €40 million fee, paid in 2016, looks like an absolute bargain price.
He is in his fifth season with the club and has already won four big titles with The Reds. He also helped Senegal reach the final of the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019. 2019-20 was the best campaign of his career but he has got off to a slow start this term.
He has been linked with a move to Real Madrid for the last year or so, but any club willing to sign him will have to dig deep into their coffers for a player who is currently valued at €120 million.
#1 Mohamed Salah - €120 million
Often called the 'Messi of Africa', Mo Salah is one of the best players in the world currently. The Egyptian winger has been very prolific since signing for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in 2017.
He has already breached the 100-goal mark for The Reds, becoming the only player since club legend Steven Gerrard to reach the landmark figure.
He is currently in his fourth season with the club and has already won the Golden Boot twice and is currently the leading goalscorer for the 2020-21 Premier League campain.
The player was the then record signing for the Merseyside club, costing €42 million in 2017. Unlike many of Liverpool's attacking signings, the player settled in really well at Anfield and is one of the most important players for them at the moment.
