Few expect large money transfers to take place in January.
In the current climate, Premier League clubs have seen their finances decimated.
On top of that, the best deals rarely seem to happen mid-season, although Manchester United and Bruno Fernandes might have something to say about it.
Regardless, with the calendar pages finally turning their backs on 2020 (thank goodness) and ushering in a New Year, we still have one eye on summer.
Rumors are not in overdrive yet, but we’re starting to hear reports from high-profile players on the move, whether it’s Harry Kane being linked to Manchester City or the eternal prospect of Paul Pogba leaving Manchester United.
It certainly raises the question of the most valuable players in England’s top flight before such moves. Fortunately, on that front, Transfermarkt has us covered.
= 19. Richarlison (£ 54 million) | Everton
= 19. Phil Foden (£ 54 million) | Manchester city
18. Rodri (57.5 million pounds sterling) | Manchester city
17. Paul Pogba (£ 58.5 million) | United manchester
16. Timo Werner (£ 63 million) | Chelsea
15. Bernardo Silva (£ 63 million) | Manchester city
14. Roberto Firmino (64.8 million pounds) | Liverpool
13. Andy Robertson (£ 67.5 million) | Liverpool
= 10. Alisson Becker (£ 72 million) | Liverpool
= 10. Virgil van Dijk (72 million pounds sterling) | Liverpool
= 10. Marcus Rashford (£ 72 million) | United manchester
9. Kai Havertz (£ 72.9 million) | Chelsea
= 7. Son of Heung-min (£ 81m) | Tottenham Hotspur
= 7. Bruno Fernandes (£ 81 million) | United manchester
= 5. Raheem Sterling (£ 99 million) | Manchester city
= 5. Trent Alexander-Arnold (£ 99 million) | Liverpool
= 1. Kevin de Bruyne (£ 108 million) | Manchester city
= 1. Harry Kane (£ 108 million) | Tottenham Hotspur
= 1. Mohamed Salah (£ 108 million) | Liverpool
= 1. Sadio Mane (£ 108 million) | Liverpool
There are only four players who stumble upon nine-figure transfer fees, but luckily, none of them are likely going anywhere anytime soon.
In fact, Liverpool have no less than seven players in the top 20.
However, there is still plenty of time for the above values to change dramatically between now and summer. Chelsea’s grand prix duo Timo Werner and Kai Havertz arrived with plenty of fanfare, but their price tags could decline unless they improve their first half of the season.
Pogba’s fee (£ 58.5 million) is possibly the most significant. While the French midfielder shone in victory over Aston Villa on New Years Day, Mino Raiola’s admission that his time at United is “over” still echoes in the club’s ears.
