Alexis Mac Allister has arguably been the best midfielder in the Premier League this season, and has played a crucial role in Liverpool winning the title. He is great on the ball and has been the heartbeat of Liverpool’s team. The Argentine is also solid defensively, winning the ball back continually and playing with lots of energy in Arne Slot’s midfield. He was rewarded with a +€10m upgrade in the latest Premier League market value update and it means the 26-year-old has hit a very special milestone.

Mac Allister has now become the first ever South American Premier League player to reach €100m in market value. Many before him have come close, but the Liverpool midfielder is the first player from his continent to achieve that feat. Whether his market value can remain at that figure or perhaps even rise further will depend on how the 2022 World Cup winner starts next season. Let’s take a look at the other South Americans to make their mark in the English top-flight and reveal the 20 most valuable Premier League South Americans of all time.

The most valuable South American Premier League players ever

Mac Allister of course leads the way, but then behind him are five players who have hit €90m. Liverpool teammate Alisson reached €90m back in the 2019/20 season, whilst former Reds’ Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino also got to a €90m market value in the 2017/18 and 2019/20 season’s respectively. Last season both Manchester City’s Julián Alvarez and Chelsea’s Moisés Caicedo also reached €90m, with the Ecuadorian going back up to €90m in this latest Premier League update. Four players have then managed to get to €85m.

Luis Díaz was at €85m before falling to €70m in the latest update, mainly due to his age. Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández got to €85m in the 2022/23 campaign, whilst Newcastle centre-midfielder Bruno Guimarães was at €85m last season. Arsenal’s Brazilian winger Gabriel Martinelli also reached €85m in the 2023/24 season but is now all the way down at €55m after a couple of disappointing campaigns.
