As we all know, defenders have always been an important role on the football field, and a good defender can improve the team's entire defence. And just now, the authoritative data **German transfer released a ranking of the value of football defenders. In first place is Manchester City star Joshua Gvardiol, with the Croatian centre-back currently valued at €80 million. It has to be said that this is a staggering number, and the young Gvardiol has a high level of talent, which makes him the most expensive defender on the surface at the moment.
It's a bit of a shame that his current performances since joining Manchester City have not lived up to expectations and the players need to play better. In second place is his team-mate Ruben Dias, with the Portuguese centre-back also currently valued at €80 million. Needless to say, Dias has been the most consistent link in the backline of Manchester City and the entire Portuguese national team. Although he doesn't have a highlight-reel in the game, his solidity and reliability at all times is a testament to his ability. He deserves to be in second place.
In third place is Arsenal star Saliba, who is also valued at €75 million. Saliba's current performance in the Premier League can be described as top-notch. His explosive physicality combined with excellent defensive ability has made him a central player in Arsenal's backline. In several head-to-head conversations with Haaland before, Haaland was also helpless against his defense, which can prove Saliba's ability. Coupled with the classic Haaland hitting Saliba in the counterattack, he fell to the ground instead, which is indeed an exaggeration.
In fourth place is Bayern full-back Alphonso Davies, who is currently valued at €70 million. As a first-class full-back in football, Davies is praised by many fans as a supercar on the wing of Bayern. However, it is a bit of a pity that Alphonso Davies has been a bit poor recently. The overall standard has also declined compared to his peak, and there are rumors that Alphonso Davies may leave Bayern Munich and move to Real Madrid next. I have to say that there are still a lot of things surrounding the full-back.
In fifth place is Barcelona defender Araujo, who is also worth 70 million euros. Needless to say, Araujo is now the core player of Barcelona's defense, and he also represents the future of the team. Previously, it was reported that Bayern wanted to spend 100 million euros on the ** offer, but it was still rejected by Barcelona, which can prove the value of the player, and there is no problem in ranking in the top five. In sixth place is Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is also worth 70 million euros. Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of Liverpool's most gifted defenders, and his attacking attributes are fundamental to his foothold in this team. There are a lot of anxious moments when Liverpool give the ball to Trent Alexander-Arnold and that's telling.
In 7th place is Militão, and the Real Madrid central defender is worth 70 million. In the absence of an obvious reliable player at Real Madrid's central defenders, Militão became the core of the team's defence for a time. He is not very famous, so many fans have no hope for him. But it didn't happen that Militão's play would be the key to Real Madrid's ability to persevere in the transition period, and he has no problem here. In eighth place is Bayern star De Ligt, who is valued at €65 million. De Ligt's performance has actually been a bit of a dip. In addition, he was pressed on the bench at Bayern, so his value has shrunk a lot. If you can't transfer to another team in the future, then the value of the player will drop again and again. In ninth place is the big Parisian star Achraf, who is also worth 65 million euros. Achraf is also known as one of the winged supercars in the hearts of fans. Extremely fast and offensive and defensive features, there is no problem here.
In 10th place is Tottenham star Sergio Romero, who is valued at €65 million. Romero is objectively a very good centre-back, his sense of position and his defensive ability are commendable. If there is any downside, it is probably that he is easy to get on and some of his defensive moves are dangerous, which is likely to lead to fouls and cards. What do you think of this list?
