Euro 2020 revitalizes the transfer market. It will be difficult to reach the assessments of the pre-pandemic, but the performances of the main players in the European Championship have raised the bar relative to their market value. According to an analysis by Kpmg Football Benchmark, eight of the ten most valuable players in the world have been involved in recent weeks at the European Championship (7) or in Copa America (the only Neymar). But there are also those who, from the European Championship, came out reduced. Like Mbappé, the cover man of France and Paris Saint-Germain, who remains the most valuable player in Europe (175 million) but sees his share price drop by 14 million.
Al top
However, it is by looking at the names of those who have seen their price increase the most on the market that the Euro 2020 effect can be seen: the top five on the list play in the main European leagues and four of these took to the field at the European Championship. This is without counting the deals that, officially or not, have already been concluded, one of which closely concerns Italy and Italian football. Formally, Gigio Donnarumma he will marry at Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, which is why his market price had collapsed even before the European Championship.

The most “popular” Azzurri
In reality, the performances of the number one of the Italian national team have only increased his value: for the specialized site Transfermarkt he is the goalkeeper with the highest rating of the entire tournament (60 million euros), as well as the second Italian at shoulders of Niccolò Barella (65 million), assisted by Alessandro Beltrami, while for Kpmg, among the Azzurri stands out Federico Chiesa, with an estimated market value of 78 million euros. The highest, as regards Mancini’s national team, called to face England in the final that can boast the most valuable squad of the whole European, at least as regards market valuations. In fact, five of them, between estimated and real values, exceed the threshold of 100 million euros, in a market that is historically accustomed to certain figures for the Premier League, but which in the midst of the pandemic has however slowed down. Despite having found very little space on the pitcha Alessandro Bastoni, the young defender of Inter, boasts a quotation of 60 million, while the minds of the game of the national team of Roberto Mancini, Jorginho, 29 years old, e Marco Verratti, 28, are worth 55 and 40 million respectively. Just under 40 million are worth Ciro Immobile and Domenico Berardi, who have seen the price of their cards decrease slightly in recent games. The prices of the Gallo are stable Andrea Belotti and of M anuel Locatelli around 35 million.
Mister 100 million
In the Three Lions squad, the 100 million coaches are all up front. The most valuable player is the captain Kane (122 million), followed by two other forwards: Rashford Manchester United (118 million) e Sterling of Manchester City (108 million). All three, however, see their prices in sharp decline: a total of 15 million less than before the European Championship, with Sterling having suffered the greatest decline (7 million euros). On the other hand, the British can already boast two closed deals, one of which is already official. Manchester United has reached the agreement for Sancho of Borussia Dortmund in exchange for about 84 million euros, while Manchester City put on the table 100 million pounds (about 116 million euros) for Grealish of Aston Villa. Another 100 million mister for the English, who can also count on the 21-year-old Foden, Manchester City star: Guardiola’s protégé is one of the players who saw his valuation increase the most during the European Championship, going from 87 to 102 million euros. A difference of 15 million: better than him only club-mate Ferran Torres and the Swede Isak, whose value has increased by 16 million.The market will go live once the European Championship is over and, as in previous years, they will be the prosecutors to take the scene.
Golden business for Super Agents
There are those who have already started to move, like Mino Raiola: Donnarumma at Paris Saint-Germain is an operation supervised in full by the Italian prosecutor (who will be awarded a substantial commission), who among the Azzurri players present at Euro 2020 also manages the midfielder Verratti, also from PSG. Outside Italy, however, his spearheads are the Dutch De Ligt and the French Pogba, another footballer who could change his shirt in the coming months (and, again for France, the son of art Thuram). The Norwegian Haaland did not qualify for the European Championship, followed by the main European clubs. Among the super-agents, the dominator of Euro 2020 is undoubtedly the English Jonathan Barrett of ICM Stellar Sports: the British Mount, Grealish, Shaw, Pickford and Chilwell, as well as the Spaniards Unai Simon and Robert Sanchez (in addition to the not summoned Saul), the Pole Szczesny and the very young Belgian Doku are under his management, without forgetting the Welsh Bale.
