Frankfurt are holding firm at €100m for one of Europe’s most exciting attacking talents.
With transfer fees soaring to astronomical heights, a new generation of talent is poised to join the exclusive €100 million club. From emerging prodigies to world-class forwards, here are the nine players most likely to command eye-watering fees in the summer of 2025, ranked from 9 to 1.
9. Tyler Dibling (Southampton)
Dibling was one of the few bright spots in a struggling Southampton side that suffered relegation in 2025. Despite his club’s Championship status, both Manchester United and Tottenham have shown strong interest, with Southampton initially quoting a staggering £100m fee.
8. Vangelis Pavlidis (Benfica)
The Greek striker had an outstanding debut season at Benfica, scoring 29 goals in 53 appearances and shining in the Champions League. Benfica have made it clear they won’t sell for less than his €100m release clause, despite interest from Chelsea and Newcastle.
7. Rodrigo Mora (Porto)
At just 18 years old, Mora has already nailed down a starting role at Porto and finished the season with 7 goals in his final 9 league games. With PSG, Manchester United and Arsenal circling, his €100m release clause might not be enough to fend off suitors.
6. Bradley Barcola (Paris Saint-Germain)
Barcola played a vital role in PSG’s treble-winning campaign, registering 40 goal involvements across all competitions. Still, his inconsistent starts late in the season have sparked interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Bayern, who could tempt PSG with a €100m bid.
5. Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)
Isak has become the focal point of Newcastle’s attack and a vital figure in their Saudi-backed project. Reports suggest it would take an offer of at least £150m to even start negotiations, but Liverpool and Arsenal remain keen on testing that resolve.
4. Rodrygo (Real Madrid)
Rodrygo has achieved great success at Madrid, winning multiple La Liga and Champions League titles, yet continues to be overshadowed by other stars. With his influence waning under Xabi Alonso, a €100m move to Arsenal, Bayern, or City could be on the horizon.
3. Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP)
After a stunning 54-goal campaign, Gyökeres has fallen out with Sporting over their failure to honour a €70m sale promise. Now being pursued by Arsenal and Manchester United, Sporting are demanding the full €100m release clause amid the transfer drama.
2. Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)
Sesko has emerged as Arsenal’s top striker target thanks to his blend of physicality, aerial ability, and technical skill. With 39 goals in two seasons at Leipzig, the Slovenian looks ready for a Premier League move, and the €100m price tag may soon be met.
1. Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Ekitike has taken his game to new heights in Germany, with 34 goal contributions and dominant performances week in, week out. With elite clubs like Real Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea lining up, Frankfurt are holding firm at €100m for one of Europe’s most exciting attacking talents.
