World Cup stars Alexis McAllister, Kylian Mbappe nemesis Sofiane Amrabati and Liverpool transfer target Enzo Fernandez are all seeing price tags. | Jobs Vox

The world’s biggest shop window has now closed for Christmas and Europe’s leading sides will be collecting their wishes.

Billionaire owners around the world will play the role of Santa Claus as they push for January transfer targets and potentially push prices higher after the World Cup.

But that’s what the tournament does best, often leaving teams with egg on their faces because they get too much out of a few games.

However, in modern football, all Qatari names would have been widely scouted by now.

This means that it is more a question of how much the target’s prices have risen, rather than whether it has recently emerged.

And for some of Doha’s top players, that figure may only continue to rise as they return to club action, meaning now could be the best time to act.

But who will regret not making a move last summer?

There are also several names whose values ​​are now at a premium.

Alexis McAllister

He has already been steadily rising for Brighton with a brilliant start to the season, but now has a borderline name after becoming the Seagulls’ first World Cup winner.

The 23-year-old midfielder has been a key pillar in allowing his team, and Lionel Messi in particular, to flourish, with his tireless work and brilliantly intelligent runs earning him legendary status in Argentina.

Brighton have certainly done it with Ben White, Mark Cucurella and Yves Bissouma, and they could break their record sales again with Mack Allister.

Ahead of the tournament, McAllister was valued at £27m by Transfermarket for a goal-scoring start to the season, now he will not be let go for at least £50m.

Sofian Amrabati

For old-school football fans, Amrabati’s tackle on Kylian Mbappe in Morocco’s World Cup semi-final loss to France was the highlight of the tournament, but for the Fiorentina midfielder it was just another day at the office.

Amrabat set the tone for Morocco’s historic run to the final four, and when his side became everyone’s second team, he became their go-to midfielder.

Under contract until 2025, clubs could be convinced to make a move for Amrabat in early January, doubling if not tripling his £8m market value as clubs look to bolster their defensive midfield.

Randall Colo Muan

Kolo Moan was not expected to be anywhere near France’s World Cup squad despite brief Nations League appearances, but as their injury crisis deepened he quickly became a star.

In fact, had it not been for the Eintracht Frankfurt forward, Les Bleus might not have had a chance against Argentina as a 41st-minute sub brought them back into the game.

Having earlier scored against Morocco in the semi-final, Kolo Mouan won a penalty out of nowhere to send France through to the final and almost won it in extra time.

Frankfurt paid Nantes £13m for the 24-year-old earlier this year, and with a five-year contract, he would be expensive to get off.

However, he already has five goals and nine assists in 14 Bundesliga games, suggesting his £27m pre-tournament value could soon be much closer to record figures.

Enzo Fernandez

Portuguese teams absolutely love to unearth gems and it looks like Benfica may have outdone themselves with Argentina’s World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez.

The midfielder started the tournament on the bench before forcing his way into the starting line-up and featuring in the final win over France.

Fernandez found team-mate after team-mate despite being under a lot of pressure, barely getting a pass or shot wrong in an absolutely sumptuous display.

Even more remarkable is Fernandez’s outrageous talent going forward, which he displayed with a stunning goal against Mexico despite playing as a defensive midfielder.

Benfica paid River Plate just £15m for his services on a long-term deal in the summer, meaning his £30m valuation could be closer to the £80m mark.
