Rank 10: Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund)
By: Birmingham City
–
Time: July 2020
Price: 25 million euros
Numerous top European clubs, above all Manchester United and FC Bayern, competed for the English midfield jewel. Borussia Dortmund was awarded the contract once again. Bellingham’s talent for space and time is obvious. Although he still acts a bit wild at times, at 17 years of age that’s completely normal. BVB has secured a huge talent.
9th place: Dani Olmo (RB Leipzig)
From: Dinamo Zagreb
Date: January 2020
Price: 21 million euros
Much like Bellingham, Olmo was also very popular. After initial difficulties, the 22-year-old attacking man is now set – and has also achieved a permanent place in the Spanish national team. However, there is always room for improvement, especially physically.
8th place: Ridle Baku (VfL Wolfsburg)
From: Mainz 05
Time: October 2020
Price: 10 million euros
VfL had an injury-related construction site on the right rear. Baku closed it straight away and made his debut for the DFB team shortly afterwards. Since the fourth match day, the 22-year-old has always been in the VfL starting line-up and, most recently in a more offensive role, contributed significantly to fourth place in the table.
7th place: Daniel Caligiuri (FC Augsburg)
From: Schalke 04
Time: July 2020
Price: free of charge
Schalke is still crying after the mentality monster. At the FCA, Caligiuri soars once again to top performances at the age of 32, running up and down the right lane and is also the top scorer of his new team with five goals and three assists. A direct hit for free for the people of Fuggerstadt.
Platz 6: Matheus Cunha (Hertha BSC)
From: RB Leipzig
Date: January 2020
Price: 18 million euros
In Leipzig, Cunha received too little playing time. The 21-year-old Brazilian immediately proved what awesome kicker he is in Berlin. In addition to all the magic, Cunha was also effective at first (18 scorer points in 20 games). In the end, however, the right foot subsided and caught a public rebuke from coach Bruno Labbadia. Nevertheless: Hertha’s attacking game improved the Cunha deal significantly.
5th place: Edmond Tapsoba (Bayer Leverkusen)
Von: Vitória Guimarães
Date: January 2020
Price: 18 million euros
Bayer paid a handsome price for the Tapsoba, which is only known to insiders. The central defender then immediately convinced with an excellent eye, reliability in a duel and playful elegance in structure. The 21-year-old quickly got a grip on minor form fluctuations. In the meantime, Tapsoba has extended until 2026 – and could one day bring in a large transfer fee.
4th place: Max Kruse (Union Berlin)
From: Fenerbahce
Time: August 2020
Price: free of charge
Kruse came to Berlin during a legal dispute and without match practice. The playmaker quickly punished all critics with the lies. Between the third and ninth matchday alone, the 32-year-old ex-Bremer scored six goals and provided five assists. He took the whole game of Union to a new level. Unfortunately, a muscle torn is currently slowing him down.
3rd place: Angeliño (RB Leipzig)
By: Manchester City
Date: January 2020
Price: loan with purchase obligation
What the trained left-back conjures up on the lawn, especially this season, also makes neutral fans click their tongues regularly. After 20 games there are eight goals and six assists, with which Angeliño improved the already good impressions from the second half of the 2019/20 season. At Manchester City you should be annoyed now that you let the 23-year-old Spaniard go.
2nd place: Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen)
From: 1. FC Köln U17
Date: January 2020
Price: 200,000 euros
The FC sweat it to tie Florian Wirtz early. And so Leverkusen snapped for the ridiculous transfer of 200,000 euros. Wirtz, who made the final breakthrough as a regular player in the current season, is already worth many times over. At just 17 years of age, the midfielder plays an important role in the table runner-up (18 games, ten scorer points). Most recently, he extended his contract until 2023.
1st place: Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund)
From: RB Salzburg
Date: January 2020
Price: 20 million euros
32 games, 33 goals, six assists and just 20 years old: Haaland’s numbers at BVB speak for themselves. The Norwegian is already one of the best center forwards in the world. Nobody really knows how far up his development will one day lead. Numerous records could be in jeopardy. BVB succeeded in transferring the year 2020 with Haaland.
