A recent study has calculated that Liverpool have two very exciting young midfielders valued at over £50m.
This season has been a stark contrast to last season for Jurgen Klopp in one area in particular. Last season, Klopp’s midfield options had waned.
It was very obvious he was running out of viable options to use in his midfield. Something had to change, and change it did.
Liverpool reinforced the midfield with brilliant acquisitions. Meanwhile, others were promoted from the fringes and the academy of the squad.
It has created an exciting midfield evolution. Something that is showing an exciting future ahead. No longer does Klopp has to scratch his head to find adequate midfielders in his squad, he is now blessed with a plethora of them.
Including two exciting players who are now valued at over £50m.
Harvey Elliott and Ryan Gravenberch transfer value increase
The two players in question are Harvey Elliott and Ryan Gravenberch. Both of them are still young players at 21-years-old.
Both of them have shown exciting potential. Elliott has been a superstar in the making this season. He’s made the difference in so many important games, including in the Reds’ draw at Old Trafford last weekend.
Gravenberch is still settling into this Liverpool side after arriving in the summer. However,in flashes he has also shown why fans should be excited.
Technically gifted, and really intelligent in his movement, Gravenberch makes the right decisions. On top of that, he has a great speed when he gets into his stride that makes it difficult for defenders to stop him.
Their exciting potential is reflected in their recent transfer value increases as well.
Recently, CIES Football Observatory has released a study of the most valuable U23 players in world football.
According to the study, Elliott is now valued at 85 million Euros which is roughly £72m. Meanwhile, Gravenberch’s value is currently at 62 million Euros, around £53m.
Who are the players that Gravenberch and Elliott are valued above?
According to the data, Gravenberch and Elliott are both valued above players like Kobe Mainoo for example.
The Manchester United midfielder’s current value is only 53 million Euros according to the study, which is around £45m. That’s despite Mainoo making his England debut last month.
Others on the list include, Liverpool linked Rayan Ait Nouri, Noni Madueke, Mathys Tel, Leny Yoro and Archie Gray.
Meanwhile the top three highest valued players are Lamine Yamal, Florian Wirtz and Cole Palmer.
