Top 5 Player Bargains To Look Out For In Football Manager 2026
1) Yann Sommer
Plying his trade for Blu-Neri Milano (Inter) currently, Yann Sommer is a top goalkeeper who has made appearances in the Champions League finals and bagged Man of the Match honors in several notable matches. Valued at a measly nine million pounds, you should consider signing the Swiss star due to his experience and ability. Whether you are aiming to climb up the ladder and hang with the big boys or are one of the big boys themselves who are looking to clinch top honors, Sommer is an ideal choice. Despite being 36 years old, the goalkeeper has a few more years to offer for the right candidate.
2) Ruben Neves
Having proved his mettle in the Premier League with Wolves, many thought the Portuguese star would take a step up and join an elite club for his next career step. Surprisingly, Neves chose to go to Saudi Arabia to represent Al-Hilal in an unorthodox fashion. That doesn’t mean he is firm in his stance to stay at the club in Football Manager 2026. The defensive midfielder is valued at just six million pounds. So, you should look to acquire the Portuguese star as he is only 28 and has a few more years to offer.
3) Franck Kessie
Franck Kessie has showcased his abilities in Europe during his time with AC Milan and Barcelona. A dream move to Barcelona was supposed to bring about bigger and better things, but it didn’t fully pan out. Kessie now plays for Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia at the heart of their midfield. The defensive midfielder is only valued at six million pounds in Football Manager. So he emerges as a bargain buy in the game. The 28-year-old has a few more years of playing at the top level. So, make the best use of his abilities if you are looking to bolster your managerial ambitions.

4) Dani Ceballos
Dani Ceballos has had a few major stints across Europe with clubs including Arsenal, Real Betis, and Real Madrid. Now playing a part-time role at Real Madrid, the Spaniard can offer much more with some game time. His value is calculated at eight million pounds in the game. So if you want a capable midfielder that can offer versatility and talent at spades, Ceballos is a good option to look at.
5) Steven Bergwijn
Steven Bergwijn had conjured a fearful reputation during his time in Europe with some big clubs. His pace, creativity, and technique had many clubs enquiring for his services in 2024. Nevertheless, the Dutch star chose to make a bold move to Al-Ittihad. The tricky winger who can play on the left, right, or even through the middle is only valued at six million pounds in Football Manager 2026. So he emerges as a stellar opportunity to capitalize on if you are looking to make a bargain signing.
