Players with High Prices and Success with the Club

By news-admin

Virgil van Dijk

  DBasia.news –  Spending big money to buy quality players to improve the team’s ability is usually done by top European teams. That also happened this summer.

The problem is, players with expensive prices do not become collateral if the performance will run straight with the amount spent. Not infrequently, expensive players only subscribe to sit on the bench.

This season, Eden Hazard, Joao Felix, Matthijs de Ligt, and Antoine Griezmann are on the list of the biggest transfer players. The star’s line is expected to boost the quality of the team.

The following are three players with a large transfer value but provide performance according to the price. The final goal in the form of a degree has been achieved.

Virgil van Dijk – Southampton to Liverpool, 2018 (75 million pounds)

Liverpool used good relations with Southampton to bring Virgil van Dijk midway through the 2017-2018 season. At that time, the Reds poured funds of 75 million pounds. This number immediately made Van Dijk the most expensive defender in the world.

As a result, Virgil van Dijk made Liverpool’s defense stronger. When the Dutch national team player hasn’t joined, Liverpool conceded 42 goals in the Premier League in the 2016-2017 season with an average of 1.21 goals per game. 

However, in the remainder of the 2017-2018 mid-season, that number dropped to 0.66 goals per match. Next, Liverpool conceded an average of 0.58 goals per match in the 2018-2019 season.

Kevin De Bruyne – Wolfsburg to Manchester City, 2015 (55 million pounds)

Kevin De Bruyne

Manchester City brought Kevin De Bruyne home to the Premier League from Wolfsburg in 2015. The Citizens spent 55 million pounds to hook the 28-year-old player.

Unlike his appearance when defending Chelsea, Kevin De Bruyne showed impressive performance. The former Weder Bremen is a bridge between the midfield and the front. In addition, De Bruyne can also operate from the right side.

De Bruyne’s ability is increasingly shiny under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola. The player brought the Citizens to dominate the competition in England.

Gianluigi Buffon – Parma to Juventus, 2001 (32.6 million pounds)

The value of 32.6 million pounds issued by Juventus to recruit Buffon in 2001 is not in vain. Currently, Buffon is a Bianconeri legend.

While defending Juventus, Buffon has won many titles. His neat appearance with Juve also led Buffon to become the Italian national team goalkeeper. He also won the 2006 World Cup.

At present, Gianluigi Buffon is back to being a Juventus player after last season playing at Paris Saint-Germain. Reportedly, Buffon will be promoted as a goalkeeping coach after retiring.
