Players who could cost £100 million in 2024 and gain entry into an exclusive club alongside Declan Rice, Jack Grealish, Moises Caicedo, and others.
Five deals totaling more than £100 million have been agreed upon in 2023 alone, with three of the movers being England internationals.
At a British record of £106.8 million, Chelsea began the year by signing World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez from Benfica.
Then, in a £115 million deal, they broke that record to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton.
Declan Rice was signed by Arsenal for a fee that could increase to £105 million, Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich for a fee that could exceed £100 million, and Jude Bellingham’s transfer from Real Madrid could cost as much as £115 million.
In addition, there will undoubtedly be many more mega-money transfers when the January transfer window opens in less than six weeks.
A mid-season switch is typically more expensive.
Mbappe Kylian of Paris Saint-Germain
The 24-year-old, who paid £166 million to move permanently from Monaco to PSG in 2018, is already a part of the elite group.
Mbappe has declined to stay longer in the French city, so it appears that he will leave Les Parisiens in 2024.
All indications are that he will leave on a free transfer, with Real thought to be one possible destination.
In 2021, Los Blancos made a £189 million attempt to sign him, but they recently denied rumors that they were getting close to doing so.
They could make a move for him in the winter window, which PSG might have to accept to avoid losing out on a chance to sign him, even though they can wait until the summer to sign him for nothing.
Osimhen Victor – Napoli
The Nigerian international, one of the most sought-after strikers in the world, led Napoli to their first Serie A championship in thirty-three years in the previous season.
In all competitions, he scored 31 goals in the 2022–2023 season, and after ten games this term, he has already scored six goals.
It has been suggested that Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United would be interested in joining the Premier League.
In March, talkSPORT made public that Aurelio De Laurentiis, the owner of Napoli, had placed a staggering £150 million price tag on the 24-year-old.
Additionally, he is aware that Osimhen’s contract standoff will end in 2025, making it imperative for him to cash in on the center-forward now.
Next summer, Osimhen will be the center of attention, with Blues legend John.
Toney, Ivan – Brentford
Toney is another striker with one cap for England who appears likely to sign with a new team.
He too has an agreement that expires in 2025, similar to Osimhen, but after switching agencies, he seems to be getting ready for a new challenge.
Toney is being considered by Chelsea and Arsenal as well, but the Bees are determined to hold onto him for the duration of the season, so a January transfer is unlikely.
According to talkSPORT, Thomas Frank’s team is requesting at least £80 million, and a bidding war may ensue to further increase the former Newcastle player’s value.
When asked how much he believes Toney is worth ahead of the 2022–2023 season, Frank responded, “£100m plus? For a striker who could score you more than twenty goals, what would you pay?
Also, this is 20.
At Brighton, Evan Fergsuon
One of the most gifted young players in the Premier League, the teenager has also been making waves as a striker.
In addition to his six goals from the previous season, he has already hammered in five goals in the top flight this season, including a hat-trick against Newcastle in September.
United and Tottenham, who haven’t found a replacement for Kane yet, are also keeping an eye on the 19-year-old, along with Chelsea, who are eager to strengthen their front line.
Earlier this month, the Ireland international signed a new contract at the Amex Stadium that would keep him there until 2029, dealing a blow to potential suitors.
Additionally, talkSPORT understands that a team would need to spend more than £100 million to entice the Seagulls to move him away from the south coast.
Salah Mohamed – Liverpool
Al Ittihad, the dominant team in the Saudi Pro League, reportedly made a world-record bid of £215 million for the Liverpool legend in September.
The 31-year-old allegedly had a £127 million contract in place to move from Europe to the Middle East.
Salah was not for sale, according to Liverpool, who also turned down a £150 million bid for the winger. The former Roma forward was content to remain at Anfield.
However, there are persistent rumors of a potential transfer, and Saudi Arabia is reportedly planning to acquire Salah in 2024.
It is unclear if Liverpool would be inclined to make a move for Salah next summer, given that his contract with the Merseyside team expires in 2025.
Guimaraes Bruno – Newcastle
Since moving from Lyon to the Magpies in January 2022, the Brazilian, one of the best central midfielders in the English premier league, has wowed supporters.
The 26-year-old has gained a lot of admirers as a result of his performances, and Real Madrid has taken notice.
With the quick action of Newcastle, Bruno signed a new five-year contract, making him the highest-paid player in the history of the team.
However, as far as talkSPORT is aware, his contract has a £100 million release clause.
And if he continues to impress fans, it won’t be long before a team turns it on.
Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala
Since coming from Chelsea’s academy to join the Bundesliga champions in 2019, the adaptable Bayern star has impressed.
There are plenty of suitors for Musiala, who turned down England at the highest level to represent Germany, his birth country.
Musiala, who is 20 years old, has demonstrated maturity beyond his years with 35 goals and 25 assists in 139 games for Bayern across all competitions. He has also earned 25 caps for his native Germany.
Although Bayern has no intention of selling the young player, clubs are still keeping an eye on the four-time Bundesliga winner.
The player has been linked to Liverpool, while Real and Manchester City are reportedly interested in him, according to BILD.
According to the German news source, Los Blancos might make a
Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz
The 20-year-old playmaker, who is another one of Germany’s crown jewels, has improved tremendously this season.
After winning ten of their first eleven games, Wirtz is a major factor in why Xabi Alonso’s undefeated team is currently atop the Bundesliga standings.
In 17 games this season, he has contributed six goals and ten assists, which is nearly twice as much as he did during the entire previous campaign.
He is committed to the BayArena through 2027, so it will take a tremendous offer to entice him to leave anytime soon.
However, a bid exceeding £100 million might be sufficient to convince Leverkusen to let go of Wirtz.
