While Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen has the highest rise between the end of the 2021/22 season and the 2022/23 season, his non-involvement with the national team in recent times due to injuries means he wasn’t included in the squad, according to transfermarkt.

Kelechi Iheanacho and Samuel Chukwueze are both valued at €20m each in the ranking.
