Football has ended the season, and now fans and players are taking a break before the start of another hectic season a month later.
The transfer market is still crazy, the waters are still calm. So far, there have been several major money movements, but the market has been dominated by clubs that do smart business and don’t take big risks.
Too big names in the summer are unlikely to replace the club. Even the largest clubs in the world are wary of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their financial situation. Consequently, they think twice before spending extraordinary money on a star name.
The value of such big names increases over time. Here we take a look at the 10 most expensive players in the world at Transfermarkt.
# 10 Bruno Fernandes (“Manchester United”) | 90 million euros

Fernandes ’style of play is based on high risk and high reward. The midfielder often tries to make dangerous passes to get into the opponent’s defense. The 26-year-old’s style of play was very effective last season, but he was unable to replicate his form at Euro 2020 in Portugal. Fernandes has been the subject of much criticism for his performances this summer and will seek a similar response throughout the club’s season.
# 9 Frenkie de Yong (Barcelona) | 90 million euros

The Parisians were disappointed last season and finished second in the league. Neymar started 15 times in Ligue 1, scoring nine goals and conceding five assists. He then led Brazil to the 2021 America’s Cup final this summer, where they were defeated by Lionel Messi’s Argentina.
