When on Saturday evening in the final of the U21 European Championship and England, in the eternal classic argue for the title, there are no unknown young people on the field. Some of the professionals already have important roles at top international clubs.

The English U21 takes first place in the ranking of the “Transfermarkt.de” page and has a total value of 402.20 million euros. Germany, on the other hand, rank third. The 23 players of the DFB squad of coach Antonio di Salvo have an overall market value of 267.30 million euros and are therefore still before nations such as Spain (262.50 million euros) and the Netherlands (220.30 million euros).

However, within one year he has already developed a market value of 55 million euros. In the final of the European Championship, he would now like to contest the title of Germany.
He gets support from another top three player when it comes to the market values. Because with 40 million euros, Nwaneri’s teammate Tino Livramento, who runs in club football for Newcastle United, is located on the divided third place on the market value table. He shares the last podium with Castello Lukeba, which German football fans from the Bundesliga of RB Leipzig should know and who ran for France at the European Championship.
