However, not all of them will have to pay all the money in the world
İdman.biz presents an article with a link to livesport.ru.
This summer, the stars of Euro 2024 will be the heroes of transfer stories. Although the value of players almost always increases after such tournaments, it is still possible to find top players at a bargain price on the market. ESPN has compiled a list of nine footballers who, thanks in part to their successful performances at the tournament in Germany, will start the season in new clubs.
Dani Olmo (Leipzig, Spain national team)
Attacking midfielder
Olmo has emerged as one of Spain’s best players at Euro 2024, despite initially being relegated to the role of a substitute.
Dani’s contract with Leipzig includes a clause that allows him to move to another club in exchange for 60 million euros. But this option expires on July 20.
It is obvious that after what he showed in Germany, many top clubs wanted to see him.
According to rumours, even Manchester City is interested in Olmo. In addition, the list of contenders for the attacking midfielder of the Spanish national team includes such clubs as Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern and Chelsea.
Barcelona wouldn’t refuse such a player either. By the way, Olmo studied at the Catalan club’s academy until 2015, when he ended up at Dinamo Zagreb. Another issue is that Barca doesn’t have the funds for its pupil.
Xavi Simons (Paris Saint-Germain, Netherlands national team)
Attacking midfielder
After a great season on loan at Leipzig (scoring 10 goals and making 15 assists in 43 games), Simons doesn’t seem to have any intention of returning to Paris.
Paris Saint-Germain activated the buyback option in 2023 and took Xavi from PSV Eindhoven for just €12 million. This summer, France’s best club could get at least five times more for the Dutchman.
At a career crossroads: Xavi Simons ready to take the next step after the Euros
The young YouTube star, risk-taker and one of the best assistants at Euro 2024 – where will he continue his career?
Simons will most likely remain in Germany, either continuing to play for Leipzig or moving to Bayern. Perhaps it will be on loan again.
Nico Williams (Athletic, Spain)
Attack
The nimble winger was as effective at Euro 2024 as his Germany teammate Lamin Jamal.
Williams extended his contract with Athletic last year, with a buyout clause of €58 million.
It looks like everything is heading towards Barcelona finding this money and Niko will continue to play with Yamal not only in the national team, but also at club level.
At the same time, there is almost no doubt that after acquiring Niko, Barca will definitely have to sell someone in order not to worsen their already terrible financial situation.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Napoli, Georgia national team)
Attacking midfielder
As expected, Khvicha became one of the main heroes of the Georgian national team at Euro 2024. Hardly anyone could have imagined that the tournament debutant would reach the 1/8 finals thanks to a great victory over Portugal in the final round of the group stage.
According to Mamuka Jugeli’s agent and his father Badri, Kvaratskhelia really wants to leave Napoli this summer. The Georgian star’s dream is to continue his career at Real Madrid.
But the demands of the Neapolitan club could become a serious obstacle. It was reported that Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis would demand more than 100 million euros for Khvicha. Perhaps Paris Saint-Germain will find this amount: the Parisian club’s leaders believe that Kvaratskhelia could become the new face of the team after Kylian Mbappe’s departure. And if rumors are to be believed, Liverpool is thinking about acquiring Khvicha. The English club understands that Mohamed Salah’s career at Anfield is coming to an end.
It is also worth mentioning the goalkeeper of the Georgian national team and Valencia, Giorgi Mamardashvili, who made an incredible number of saves at the Euro in Germany. They write that Newcastle is interested in his transfer.
Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace, England)
Central defender
After selling Michael Oliseh to Bayern for €60 million, Crystal Palace could let go of several more key players. It is known that English top clubs are showing serious interest in Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton.
But Palace’s most important asset of late has been Marc Guehi, whose fine performances at the Euros have put him on the list of transfer targets for Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool. He looks like he could really add to the defence of any of those top clubs.
Diogo Costa (Porto, Portugal national team)
Goalkeeper
Costa’s transfer value has soared following his exploits for Portugal at Euro 2024. Porto are ready to sell their first-choice goalkeeper, but Diogo’s current club’s demands could put off potential suitors. Porto are asking €75 million.
On the other hand, the club that does take the risk is unlikely to be disappointed. This 24-year-old Portuguese can really become one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
Riccardo Calafiori (Bologna, Italy national team)
Central defender
In the summer of 2023, Bologna bought Calafiori from Basel for just five million euros. Now they can get ten times more for him (though it was reported that Basel would get half of that amount).
Last season, Calafiori became one of the leaders of Bologna, which reached the group stage of the Champions League for the first time in its history. After that, Ricciardo showed himself well in matches for the Italian national team at Euro 2024.
Calafiori is known to be close to joining Arsenal, who are already in talks with Bologna. Gunners head coach Mikel Arteta plans to use the Italian as a left-back. But it has also been reported that Chelsea, Bayer and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in acquiring the 22-year-old.
In addition, Michel Aebischer, one of Switzerland’s best players at Euro 2024, is likely to leave Bologna this summer.
Ferdi Kadioglu (Fenerbahce, Turkey national team)
Left back
Although not as popular as his team-mates Arda Guler and Kenan Yildiz, Kadioglu was a key player in Turkey’s run to the quarter-finals of the Euro in Germany.
Kadioglu fully meets the requirements of a modern full-back – reliable in defense and effective in developing attacks.
Two top clubs of the English Premier League, Manchester United and Arsenal, are interested in signing Ferdi. The London club will try to buy the Turkish footballer if they fail to reach an agreement with Bologna on Calafiori’s transfer.
Dennis Man (Parma, Romania national team)
Attacking midfielder
Last season, Man became one of the main heroes of Parma. The Romanian footballer helped the team return to the Italian Serie A. Dennis played 32 matches, scoring 11 goals and making six assists.
The 25-year-old has attracted attention on the big stage in the summer, with his performances for Romania at Euro 2024 putting him on the list of transfer targets for Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and several Premier League clubs.
Dennis’ contract with Parma runs until 2025, so the Italian club is unlikely to receive too much money from a potential buyer.
