There aren’t many surprises when it comes to £25m or superstars, except for the fact that their values ​​are so low perhaps. The young Brazilian dynamo of Real Madrid Endrick has a potential of 91- the same current rating as teammate Kylian Mbappe – but is worth just £20m.
The likes of Mathis Tel, Jorrel Hato, Guillaume remains i Fermin Lopez are all too familiar to EA FC and Football Manager players with experience in getting wonderkids, but the RB Salzburg striker Karim Konate it’s definitely the best option we’ve seen so far. The striker has a rating of 73 with a potential of 87 and is valued at £6.2m.
Oh, and Lionel Messi he’s still playing, but we wouldn’t recommend signing the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner; if you even can, it will quickly retire in-game.
