10. Hugo Duro (€16m) – Valencia CF
Valencia’s Duro, a promising young striker, has steadily improved since joining the club. Known for his relentless work ethic and intelligent movement off the ball, the 24-year-old can be a game-changer. His ability to find spaces in tight defenses makes him a valuable asset. Valencia will likely depend on him to spearhead their attack and score crucial goals as they aim to climb higher in La Liga.
9. Gorka Guruzeta (€18m) – Athletic Bilbao
Guruzeta brings versatility to Bilbao’s attack as he is capable of playing across the frontline line. His physical presence, combined with a sharp eye for goal, makes him a potent threat in the opposition box. With his knack for scoring in big moments, the 27-year-old is set to play a pivotal role in Bilbao’s quest for European qualification this season.
8. Alexander Sørloth (€25m) – Atletico Madrid
Atletico’s summer signing finished last season as the second highest goal scorer while on the books at Villareal. Sørloth combines physicality with technical ability, making him a nightmare for defenders. He excels in aerial duels and is equally adept with the ball at his feet. Los Colchoneros will look to Sørloth to provide a consistent goal-scoring outlet, especially in tight matches where his clinical finishing can make all the difference.
7. Antoine Griezmann (€25m) – Atlético Madrid
Despite being one of the older players on this list, Griezmann remains crucial to Atlético’s success. His versatility allows him to play as a striker or a deeper-lying forward. Widely known for his creativity, vision, and finishing, the Frenchman’s experience will be invaluable as Atlético Madrid seeks to challenge for domestic and European honors.
6. Victor Roque (€30m) – Barcelona
The 19-year-old has yet to find his feet at the Camp Nou despite being one of Barca’s most exciting young talents. He possesses incredible pace, dribbling ability, and an eye for goal that belies his age. Roque’s potential is immense, and we expect him to become an important part of the Blaugrana’s attack in the coming years.
5. Samu Omorodion (€35m) – Atlético Madrid
Atlético Madrid’s Omorodion is known for his physicality and aerial prowess. He is also capable of holding up play to bring his teammates into the game. His ability to score from various situations makes him a viable option to spearhead the attack. The 20-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Premier League side Chelsea this summer. But the possibility of remaining in the Spanish capital this season is also on the cards.
4. Mikel Oyarzabal (€45m) – Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad’s talismanic forward Oyarzabal is known for his versatility, capable of playing as a striker or on the wings. His technical skill, vision and leadership qualities make him a vital part of Sociedad’s attack. Oyarzabal has a knack for scoring important goals and providing assists in crucial moments. His presence will be key as La Real set their sights on having another strong season in the Spanish top flight.
3. Endrick (€60m) – Real Madrid
Despite his young age, the Brazilian has already shown glimpses of his enormous potential. With exceptional dribbling, pace, and a powerful shot, he is a natural goal-scorer. Los Blancos have high hopes for the youngster, seeing him as the future of their attack. If he lives up to his potential, Endrick could become one of the world’s best strikers in the coming years.
2. Julian Alvarez (€90m) – Atletico Madrid
Alvarez is a recent addition to Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid squad. The former Manchester City forward will bring a mix of flair, creativity and clinical finishing to Atleti’s attack. Thanks to his ability to feature anywhere across the front line, we expect Alvarez to be a key player for Simeone’s charges this season. His link-up play with fellow attackers could make Los Colchoneros one of the most potent offensive teams in Europe.
1. Kylian Mbappe (€180m) – Real Madrid
Mbappe unsurprisingly sits atop our list with an astronomical value of €180 million. The Frenchman is not just La Liga’s most valuable striker but arguably the best player in the world. His speed, dribbling and potency in front of goal are unmatched. Madrid’s acquisition of Mbappe signals their intent to maintain their domestic and European dominance. Mbappe’s ability to change games single-handedly makes him a player to watch. We have no doubt, Los Blancos fans are in for an absolute treat this season.
