At 20 million euros, Luan is Gremio's most valuable player, followed by Barcelona target Arthur on 15m. And while a perennial Real reserve such as Kiko Casilla would, says Transfermarkt, still fetch 6m, Gremio mainstays Ramiro and Geromel have respective price tags of 5m and 4m.
What's more, half of the Porto Alegre outfit's squad do not reach the 1m-euro mark.
