He has scored 50 goals in 137 appearances in all competitions for Dortmund and is currently representing his national side in the EURO 2020. A highly technical, creative player, he is known for his trickery, pace, and use of feints in one-on-one situations.
Achraf Hakimi (€ 60 million)
22-year-old Moroccan right-back Achraf Hakimi has completed his move to Paris Saint-Germain from Inter Milan after a magnificent season with the Italian Champions. He has emerged as one of the best full-backs in the world at such a young age with very high intelligence.
He had successful spells at Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan where he became an integral part of the team. His ball control and lightning-quick pace enable him to get past defenders easily and his final ball in the box is also very delicate. His overall attributes make him an all-around player for any team.
Dayot Upamecano (€ 42.5 million)
The young French defender was on a list of many big clubs but German Champions Bayern Munich moved quickly in the winter transfer window of 2021 and triggered his release clause of € 42.5 million set by RB Leipzig.

He is strong in the air winning most of the aerial duels and has a very loud personality on the pitch. Many football pundits have often compared him to Van Dijk who is gonna be his new teammate this season from whom he can learn and excel.
Emiliano Buendía (£33 million)
