Midfielders provide energy to power forwards to score goals, and it’s hard for football teams to thrive without having best midfielders. Here are the Top 5 Expensive Midfielders in the World. They are Bruno Fernandes, Kevin de Bruyne, Joshua Kimmich, Kai Havertz, and Paul Pogba.

#1 Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United – €90 million

Paul Scholes praises Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes is arguably the best attacking midfielder in the world right now given the form he is in. The Portuguese relentlessly contributes with his immaculate playmaking skills and goalscoring prowess. Fernandes is among the Top 5 Expensive Midfielders in the World.

According  to Sportskeeda, Bruno’s arrival in the last January transfer window had a galvanizing effect on Manchester United and he led from the front as Manchester United secured a top four finish when nobody had given them a chance.

#2 Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City – €120 million

Kevin De Bruyne has arguably been the best midfielder on the planet over the past few seasons. He is perhaps the most vital cog in Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. De Bruyne creates and he scores almost in equal measure. He has an incredible passing range and packs a screamer of a shot and can shoot with either foot.

The Belgian has already scored two goals and racked up seven assists in the Premier League this term so far from 12 appearances. De Bruyne was on a roll last season as well, providing 20 assists and scoring 13 goals from across 35 appearances in the league for Manchester City. No wonder KDB makes the list of the Top 5 Expensive Midfielders in the World.

#3 Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich) – €85 million

Joshua Kimmich

After switching to a defensive midfield position from right-back, Joshua Kimmich’s transformation couldn’t have panned out in a better manner. He has been a standout performer for Bayern Munich in midfield and that’s by virtue of his supreme physical fitness, footballing intelligence and outrageous passing range. Kimmich is arguably the best defensive midfielder on the planet right now and he is valued at €85 million.

#4 Kai Havertz (Chelsea) – €81 million

Kai Havertz Chelsea

Kai Havertz joined Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee that reportedly rises to £71 million with add-ons this past summer. He came to Stamford Bridge on the back of an excellent season in the Bundesliga where he scored 12 goals and provided six assists from across 29 games.

However, Havertz hasn’t exactly hit the ground running at Chelsea. Save for a hat-trick against Barnsley in the League Cup, Havertz has been largely off colour but it could just be him getting used to the rigors and demands of the Premier League.

#5 Paul Pogba of Manchester United

Gareth Southgate to Manchester United Doesnt’ Make Sense

Published

on

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job

Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time

The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best

The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss

Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.

ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.

People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.

Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.

SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.

How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?

More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.

Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.

It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.

Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track

Published

Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!

Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.

The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy

Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.

Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.

I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.

 

Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.

This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons

The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.

From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
