The second player with the biggest increase in market value this season is Chelsea winter signing Enzo Fernandez.

At the beginning of the season, Enzo Fernandez cost only 15 million euros. Now, his market value is 85 million euros. This means his market value has increased by 70 million euros. Third on the list is another Chelsea signing, Mykhailo Mudryk.

He is currently worth 60 million euros.
Fourth on the list is Brighton and Hove Albion star Moises Caicedo, who nearly joined Arsenal in the January transfer window before signing a new contract with Brighton.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola celebrated the recent FA Cup draw after defeating Sheffield United in the semi-finals.
Riyadh His Mahrez scored a hat-trick as he won 3-0 on Saturday.
Guardiola said:
It was the fourth time in a row he came here and he failed to win his last three games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
I performed today. As I said at the press conference, this game came on Bayern Munich's back and we talked about trying again and doing well - and they did really well with everyone. "I am very happy that the whole club reached the final of the FA Cup for the first time in many years."
Guardiola praised Mahrez after reaching the summit.
He's always grumpy with me when he's not playing," Guardiola smiled.
He always reminds me that he's in a bad mood. Not today. He was an extraordinary player and his play was extraordinary. The best stage player with the mentality to steal goals. His coolness from his spot on penalties was important.
He made it to the final and he was really happy. Riyadh loves to play soccer and has given me so much over the last few years, so I am very happy with Riyadh.
Guardiola admits to being impressed by Sheffield United's resilience.
They have chances in the first few minutes and against the kind of opponents that we can't press because in a game like that it's always a longer ball." It is important to be steady and not give up. They are masters of flanks and set pieces. they are dangerous.
I struggled for the first 15-20 minutes. We didn't get the second ball in the first half.
We adjusted some positions at half time and won the second ball when they played long ball, especially when McBurney came in. We made them work. I was a little short on finding Julian and Erling, and they had to go a bit back to find the ball going into center position.
All in all, knowing where you came from three days ago was a really good performance.
The adrenaline we put out in that game [Bayern] was huge in every concept and today, even in the dressing room, I saw it from the first moment and I was like, 'Okay, the players are there.
Having reached the semi-finals three years in a row and losing on a streak, he is doubly happy to reach the final.
