Ten players at the Euro 2024 who have increased their transfer value | Euro 2024

Ferdi Kadioglu (Türkiye)

The action-loving Fenerbahce defender was outstanding during his side’s run to the quarter-finals in Germany, posing a constant threat down the left flank and sometimes dropping back into midfield. Kadioglu has been linked with a move to Arsenal or Manchester City after putting in outstanding performances for his club, with Brighton, Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund all reportedly interested. In total, scouts from nine clubs attended the last-16 match against Austria, when the 24-year-old broke a tournament record by running 12.2 kilometres in Turkey’s 2-1 win.

Georges Mikautadze (Georgia)

Goals against Turkey, the Czech Republic and Portugal secured Georgia’s historic place in the round of 16. The 23-year-old finished the group stage as one of the top scorers. This continued Mikautadze’s winning streak at the end of the season, when he scored 14 goals in 22 games while on loan from Ajax to Metz. The Dutch club bought him from Metz for £16 million in 2023. He played just nine games for Ajax but is now set to be sold for a small profit. Monaco and Roma are considered favourites, despite interest from West Ham.

Ruben Vargas (Switzerland)

A stunning performance against Italy to cap Switzerland’s memorable victory over the reigning champions catapulted the Augsburg striker into the international spotlight. Vargas, who has almost 50 caps despite being just 25, was named Man of the Match after setting up Remo Freuler’s opener and scoring a brilliant second goal in Berlin. He was linked with a loan move to Crystal Palace last summer and has also attracted interest from Fiorentina, and his performances in Germany are likely to see more clubs joining the queue.

Jan Oblak (Slovenia)

Whether Oblak would ever consider leaving Atlético Madrid after joining them a decade ago is debatable. But the 31-year-old will have no shortage of suitors if he does ultimately decide to move, especially after his heroics against Portugal in Slovenia’s last-16 penalty shootout defeat. Although Oblak was outshone by Diogo Costa’s three saves in the shootout, he was outstanding in the 120 minutes of Portuguese fire, moving Cristiano Ronaldo to tears when he saved his penalty in extra time.

Nico Williams (Spain)

The Athletic Bilbao striker was already on the shortlists of several top players in Europe ahead of Euro 2024 and has made a big impression in Germany with his impressive performances. Barcelona fans will have their fingers crossed that Williams can extend his partnership with teenage sensation Lamine Yamal next season after he reportedly hinted that he would prefer to move to the Camp Nou if they could afford him, although Arsenal and Liverpool may have a say given their long-standing interest. Athletic have not given up hope of persuading the 21-year-old to stay but are likely to accept offers in excess of £50m.

Fabian Ruiz (Spain)

Spain’s new midfield maestro has played a prominent role for his country despite uncertainty over his club future at Paris Saint-Germain. “I know my name comes up in every transfer window,” Ruiz said ahead of Tuesday’s semi-final against France. “But I feel comfortable in Paris. I still have three years left on my contract and I still have a lot of goals to achieve with PSG.” Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Juventus have all shown interest in the former Napoli midfielder in the past.

Jerdy Schouten (Netherlands)

The Dutch midfielder only made his international debut two years ago at the age of 25, but was a mainstay for Ronald Koeman’s side throughout the tournament. Having just helped PSV Eindhoven end an eight-year wait for the Eredivisie title, he returned home after four years in Bologna and is now expected to attract interest from Serie A – particularly Internazionale – and beyond. Having started as a No.10 at The Hague before rebuilding his career and converting to a defensive midfielder at Telstar, he looks capable of playing at the highest level.

Francisco Conceicao (Portugal)

The race is on to sign the diminutive winger, who plays like his father Sergio used to. They became only the second pair to score at the European Championships when Francisco came on as a substitute against the Czech Republic and scored the winner – his first goal at international level after being first called up by Roberto Martínez in March. This followed his breakthrough season at Porto after his disappointing time at Ajax. Chelsea are said to be among the clubs who have expressed an interest in signing the 21-year-old. He is said to have a €30 million (£25.3 million) release clause, which will be increased to €45 million next week.

Baris Alper Yilmaz (Türkiye)

He may not have scored in Germany, but the 24-year-old epitomised his team’s approach to the tournament with his fearlessness and energy. Yilmaz was instrumental in Galatasaray leapfrogging their great rivals Fenerbahce for the Turkish title last season, scoring seven goals and providing 12 assists. He is set to move to the Bundesliga, Serie A and Premier League this summer, with Liverpool among the clubs who could express interest in the coming weeks.

Ivan Schranz (Slovakia)

The 30-year-old had scored just three goals for his country before the start of Euro 2024, the last in October 2021. But Schranz, who plays for Slavia Prague and only made his international debut at the age of 27, doubled his tally in four games in Germany, including the goal that almost gave Slovakia victory over England in the round of 16. Having only managed one goal in 14 Czech league games for Slavia last season, he may be a bit of a risk, but has definitely shown he has an appetite for big occasions.
