In football, the market values of teams and players are often discussed at the larger junior tournaments, which not only increase significantly, but are also suitable as a benchmark for the quality of the squad. In the current U-21 European Championship, the German team is only in eighth place in the ranking of transfer values, led by France and England. The talents of other nations are more valuable and therefore possibly stronger. The FAZ presents four of the most exciting tournament players.
