The 10 Most Expensive U-21 Players in the World

DBasia.news –  Christian Pulisic is one of the recruits who came to Chelsea this summer. While one more player, Mateo Kovacic, his contract was signed by the club from Real Madrid after being borrowed last season.

The Pulisic transfer is also supposed to have been completed since January 2019 from Borussia Dortmund for 57.2 million euros. At the age of 20, Pulisic was plotted as a substitute for Eden Hazard who left Real Madrid this summer.

The price of the transfer has increased along with the development of his career. Especially some time ago, Pulisic brought the United States national team to qualify for the Gold Cup final – although in the end they lost 1-0 to Mexico via a Jonathan dos Santos goal.

Nevertheless, the price tag for Pulisic has increased. At present, players who have studied at academies in Brackley Town, Michigan Rush, and PA Classics, are in the top 10 most expensive U-21 players in the world.

Pulisic ranks ninth with a tag of 57.2 million euros and right under it is a new Madrid recruit, Eder Militao, who has a tag of 54.6 million euros.

In addition to these two names, other names are talented talents from the generation born in the late 90s and early 2000s who are predicted to become stars in the future (it could be replacing Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo).
