3. Rodri (Manchester City) – €70 million
Rodri’s contributions to the team defensively cannot be understated. He provides a cover to the backline which is extremely effective in the case of counter attacks. The Manchester City midfielder has earned 31 caps so far, and has successfully inherited the defensive midfielder role from Fernandinho.
2. Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad) – €70 million
Oyarzabal is a creative winger, able to perform on either flank, and can score goals as well. He has been very influential for Spain in the last few years, and has been able to establish himself as a regular starter under Luis Enrique too.
