Here's a list of players we consider the top bargains in Football Manager 2023.

With some teams, being frugal with your transfer budget is an absolute key to success. This list will give you some ideas of bargains to pick up in Football Manager 2023 so that you can improve your first-team squad.

1. Kepa Arrizabalaga - Chelsea

In 2018, Chelsea spent £72 million, a world record transfer fee for a goalkeeper, on Kepa Arrizbalaga. Chelsea rated him extremely highly, but he has had a controversial time at Stamford Bridge. He famously refused to be substituted in the 2019 League Cup final. Since then, Kepa has been supplanted by Edouard Mendy. Now, as Chelsea's number two, he is available for about £10 million, which seems like a snip for such a good goalkeeper. Kepa is known for his reflexes and shot-stopping abilities. He would be ideal for clubs in Europe (especially if you are managing Athletic Club as he is Basque).

2. Dani Ceballos - Real Madrid

Another Spanish bargain is Real Madrid’s, Dani Ceballos. The playmaker is available for just £4.6 million as he enters the final year of his contract at the Bernabeu. Gifted with the ball, Ceballos has the ability to break through defences with his excellent passing range. The 26-year-old is a Champions League winner and Spanish international; he deserves to be playing regular first-team football. Dani Ceballos could easily be the heart of the midfield for many teams in European competitions.

3. Joao Pedro - Fenerbahce

Joao Pedro is a Brazilian-born Italian striker who scored double figures in each of the last three seasons for Cagliari in Serie A. The goal scorer recently moved to Fenerbahce but should be available for about £9 million. With his recent goal-scoring record, it seems like Pedro can score goals at an even higher level. His success at Cagliari led to him picking up his first cap for Italy in 2022 and then to his subsequent move to Fenerbahce. Bring Pedro in, and hopefully, he will bang in some goals for you as well.

4. Marko Livaja - Hajduk Split

Croatian international Marko Livaja had an amazing season last year, scoring 28 goals for Hajduk Split. Despite finishing as the top goalscorer in the Croatian league, Livaja could only take Hajduk to runners-up in 2022. Nonetheless, the striker deserves a move to a bigger stage and can be up between £5 million and £7.25 million. Livaja is a technically superb striker with good finishing, dribbling and first-touch attributes. He also has the required ability to play behind the striker. Livaja would definitely be a decent option for many mid-table clubs.

5. Christian Günter - Freiburg

If you are looking for an attacking wing-back, Christian Günter could be the ideal option, especially with his cheap price tag. The German international defender is an extremely consistent defender who has only missed 6 league games in the last 8 seasons. Günter is a one-club man who has captained Freiburg for the last few seasons. If you can pry him away from the Black Forest, he can be signed at a snip for about £5.25 million. Buying Günter will give leadership, consistency, and attacking creativity down the left side. He’d probably be ideal for many teams fighting for Europe.
