Supercomputer Predicts the Next €100 Million Football Transfers

Artificial intelligence continues to reshape football scouting and market analysis, and it now predicts who could become the next nine-figure signings. From emerging Premier League stars to Bundesliga prodigies, here are the top 10 players most likely to command transfers exceeding €100 million, starting from number ten.

10. Cole Palmer (Chelsea)

Cole Palmer has become one of the Premier League’s brightest young stars since his move from Manchester City to Chelsea. With consistent goals and assists, plus his English nationality adding to market value, AI sees him as a strong €100 million candidate. Though still under contract until 2033, top clubs like Real Madrid or Bayern might one day tempt Chelsea to cash in.

9. Rodrygo (Real Madrid)

Rodrygo’s explosive pace and ability to score in big games make him a tempting target for Europe’s elite. With Kylian Mbappé now at Real Madrid, there’s speculation the club could offload Rodrygo to balance the books. AI suggests Premier League giants like Liverpool and Manchester City could easily pay over €100 million for the Brazilian forward.

8. Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig)

Dutch playmaker Xavi Simons continues to impress with his creativity and versatility, despite Leipzig missing out on next season’s Champions League. This scenario could push the German club to sell, with Bayern, Manchester United, and Arsenal circling. A deal worth between €115 million and €150 million wouldn’t be shocking, given his rapid rise.

7. Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting Lisbon)

Viktor Gyökeres has torn up the Portuguese league with his powerful forward play and clinical finishing. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool are all linked, and Sporting’s history of securing big-money sales (like Bruno Fernandes) means a price tag north of €100 million is realistic. AI flags him as one of the most likely summer blockbusters.

6. Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton)

Young English center-back Jarrad Branthwaite has drawn repeated interest from Manchester United, and with Everton under financial strain, a mega deal could materialize. AI sees him potentially breaking Harry Maguire’s record as the world’s most expensive defender, pushing past the €115 million mark if a bidding war starts.

5. Evan Ferguson (Brighton)

Despite a quiet loan stint at West Ham, Brighton’s Evan Ferguson remains on AI’s watchlist thanks to his age, potential, and Brighton’s knack for extracting massive fees. Manchester United and Chelsea are still linked, and bookmakers have him among the favorites to become the next €100 million Premier League signing.

4. Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)

Jude Bellingham’s stellar performances for Real Madrid have made him one of the best midfielders on the planet. Though Los Blancos are unlikely to sell soon, AI believes a future move to England—perhaps to Manchester United or Liverpool—could easily smash records, with fees soaring between €175 million and €235 million.

3. Victor Osimhen (Napoli)

Napoli’s prolific striker Victor Osimhen continues to be one of Europe’s hottest commodities. His Serie A goal tally and international performances keep major clubs interested, even with his contract winding down. Manchester United, Chelsea, and PSG could spark a bidding war that sees his price exceed €120 million.

2. Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)

At just 17, Lamine Yamal is already a regular starter for both Barcelona and Spain, with his dazzling skills marking him as a generational talent. If Barça’s financial woes continue, they may be forced to sell despite his contract running until 2031. Arsenal, PSG, and Manchester United could drive his price well past €150 million.

1. Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich)

Topping AI’s prediction list is Jamal Musiala, Bayern Munich’s exceptional attacking midfielder. Known for his dribbling, composure, and goal-scoring instincts, Musiala is valued close to €115 million already. Should Manchester City, Liverpool, or Real Madrid come knocking, Bayern’s reluctance to sell could only inflate an already astronomical fee.
