Several players have had their value rise astronomically after their performances at the 2024 European Championship
The recently concluded 2024 European Championship showcased a plethora of talent, with several stars making a significant impact on the pitch.

Ferdi Kadioglu — Fenerbahce/Turkey +€9m
The Turkish full-back entered the Euros as one of the hidden gems of the tournament and proved the pundits right with his impressive performances for Turkey.

Kadioglu started all five of Turkey’s matches as they reached the quarterfinals before losing to the Netherlands thanks to two late goals.
Thanks to his performances for Turkey, Kadioglu, who is a target for several Premier League clubs saw his valuation rise by €9m to €30m, and interested teams will certainly have their ears perked up for the Fenerbahce defender this summer.
Giorgi Mamardashvili — Valencia/Georgia +€10m
Georgia’s goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili was one of the standout stars of the 2024 Euros, helping his country make a statement as the biggest surprise of the tournament.

Dani Olmo — RB Leipzig/Spain +€10m

Nico Williams — Athletic Club/Spain +€10m

Williams has a €58m release clause which Barcelona are set to pay, but was valued at €60m ahead of the Euros. After three goal contributions to help Spain win the tournament, Williams’ valuation rose by €10m to €70m, meaning any club that does trigger his €58m release clause will see that as a huge bargain.
Rodri — Manchester City/Spain +€10m
Another key part of Spain’s Euro 2024 victory was Manchester City’s Rodri, who saw his valuation increase from €10m to €130m.
Rodri was named the Player of the Tournament in Germany, despite missing the second half of the final against England, as his performances from the first six matches of the tournament were considered enough proof of his quality.
)
The Manchester City midfielder’s increase in value means he is now the most-valued defensive midfielder in the world, with his €130m price tag overtaking Arsenal and England’s Declan Rice.
The Cityzens currently have no interest in selling Rodri, but if they did, the Premier League champions would be expecting a huge windfall for the highest-valued player Spanish player in history.
Jamal Musiala — Bayern Munich/Germany +€10m
German jewel Jamal Musiala was one of the stars of the 2024 Euros, increasing his standing in the game and his valuation.

The Bayern Munich star was one of the top scorers of the tournament on home soil, scoring three goals for Germany as they reached the quarterfinal, before losing to eventual champions Spain.
Musiala was previously valued at €120m and increased his valuation by €10m to €130m post-tournament. He is considered an untouchable at Bayern Munich at the moment, although clubs like Real Madrid have been circling around the prodigious youngster.
Riccardo Calafiori — Bologna/Italy +€15m
Arsenal target Riccardo Calafiori didn’t do the Gunners any favours with his impressive performances for Italy during the 2024 Euros.
The 22-year-old Italian centre-back braved an own goal against Spain to finish the tournament as Italy’s best player in the German summer.
)
Calafiori’s stunning assist against Croatia, where the defender slalomed past several defenders before laying the ball in the path of Mattia Zaccagni, was one of the peak moments of the competition and helped the Bologna star improve his valuation.
The defender's valuation rose by €15m to €45m, a figure that would surely interest suitors like Arsenal and Liverpool.
Arda Guler — Real Madrid/Turkey +€15m
Real Madrid starlet Arda Guler was billed as one of the youngsters to watch ahead of the European Championships and lived up to the expectations with a series of impressive performances for Turkey.
