The Real Madrid midfielder moves into the top three after being linked with a loan move to Liverpool.

Odegaard, who joined Real over Liverpool back in 2015, is now 'desperate' to move to Anfield on loan, according to the Daily Mail.

3. Joao Mario (Sporting) - 2.6

The midfielder is back in the top three as he continues to be linked with a move to Anfield.

Mario's agent, Kia Joorabchian, told Portuguese newspaper Record recently: "Sporting have received four proposals. Inter Milan and Liverpool, certainly, with values between €35 and €40 million, plus bonuses.

"Sporting refused all offers. So from now on, we are discussing a new contract or sale."

Mario caught the eye with his performances during Euro 2016, helping Portugal win the trophy. Chelsea are also reportedly interested in the midfielder.
