The men’s football tournament at the Paris Games has important absences. Kyllian Mbappé, the current leading French player, is the biggest of them: his participation in the Olympic Games was banned by Real Madrid, his new club. The Brazilian team failed to qualify and will not be able to compete for gold either. On the other hand, the Argentine player who is emerging as the heir to Messi’s prominence will be on the field. Julián Álvarez, champion of the Copa América in the United States, received the green light from Manchester City to seek the gold medal and will be the player with the highest market value on the field in Paris. From now on, BolaVip Argentina reveals which are the ten players competing in the Games with the highest market value.
1 – Julian Alvarez (Argentina and Manchester City) – 90 million euros
The star needs no introduction. He will arrive at the Games as a Copa America champion. He was previously a world champion with Argentina and with Manchester City he won titles such as the Champions League and the Club World Cup.
2 – Achraf Hakimi (Morocco and PSG) – 60 million euros
Like Álvarez, he was called up to the quota of three players over 23 years old that each team can call up. The right-back is the main name in Moroccan football, who is trying to repeat the good campaign of the last World Cup, when they finished fourth.
3 – Michael Olise (France and Bayern Munich) – €55 million
He is the most valuable player of Olympic age in Paris. At 22, he was signed in the current transfer window to reinforce Bayern Munich, after standing out as a right-back for Crystal Palace in England.
4 – Castello Lukeba (France and Red Bull Leipzig) – €40 million
The 21-year-old defender is another who will be tasked with making the home fans happy. He has been a Red Bull Leipzig player since last season. Before that he played for Lyon. He has already played one game for the French national team.
5 – Alex Baena (Spain and Villarreal) – 40 million euros
The Spanish striker could have been at the European Championships and won the European Cup, but he ended up not being on the list for the continental competition. The consolation prize could come at the Olympic Games, if he is one of Spain’s standouts at 23 years of age.
6 – Samu Omorodion (Spain and Atlético de Madrid) – 35 million euros
The 20-year-old centre-forward, 1.93m tall, is a promising youngster in Spanish football who has yet to really explode. Last season, on loan at Alavés, he scored eight goals in 35 games. He is considered a strong name for the future of the Fury attack.
7 – Desiré Doué (France and Rennes) – 30 million euros
The player has a remarkable resume in the French youth ranks, with 20 appearances and six goals, as well as the title of European Under-17 Champion. At 19 years old, the Rennes striker should be part of the French Olympic team.
8 – Enzo Millot (France and Stuttgart) – 30 million euros
At 22, he already has a long track record in the Bundesliga: four seasons at Stuttgart, the last two as a starter. His contract was renewed in January. He made a name for himself in Monaco’s youth ranks.
9 – Bilal El Khannouss (Morocco and Genk) – 30 million euros
He is considered one of the biggest surprises in African football. At 20 years old, he has experience in major competitions: he was with the main Moroccan team in the Qatar Cup and even made the field. He is an attacking midfielder.
10 – Pau Cubarsí (Spain and Barcelona) – 30 million euros
The player who completes the list is considered a phenomenon in Spain. At just 17 years old, he has already played 24 games for Barcelona’s first team. The defender has already made his debut with the Spanish national team, but was left out of the squad for the European Championship.
