Central midfielder: Sergej Milinković-Savić (Lazio) - £81 million
Sergej Milinković-Savić's market value experienced a meteoric rise after October 2017. From a seemingly measly £27 million, the Serbian's market value skyrocketed to £81 million in June 2018 largely due to his dazzling performances for Lazio.
In consequence, he remained a hot property throughout the summer transfer window, attracting interest from several European top dogs including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea and AC Milan.
Nevertheless, with Le Aquile playing hardball, he was unable to seek a move away from Stadio Olimpico.
