The 2023-24 European season is well underway and fans are already starting to notice which players deserve their attention. Jude Bellingham‘s prolific start at Real Madrid has been a revelation, while the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland continue to impress.

The Englishman, who moved to the Spanish capital from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, has surprisingly become Los Blancos’ top scorer above the likes of Vinicius Junior or Rodrygo, among others.

The Norwegian striker has been less ruthless than last term, but he still found the net on several occasions for Manchester City. The French star, meanwhile, continued to prove his worth at PSG. But an Argentine star has been even better than them so far.

Martinez has blossomed into one of the world’s best strikers since joining Inter Milan from Argentine side Racing Club for €25 million in the summer of 2018. He’s been La Albiceleste‘s most valuable player for a while now, having surpassed Lionel Messi’s market value last year.

According to the latest Transfermarkt update, Lautaro is by far the most expensive player in the Argentine national team roster with a price tag of €100 million. He drew interest from other European giants in the past, but he stayed committed to the Nerazzurri, where he’s a captain.
