Klopp eyes massive squad as €560 million worth of uncapped Germans await debut

Jürgen Klopp will reveal his first DFB‑Nominierung on Thursday at 10:00 in Frankfurt, and the Wahl comes with a surprising Qual: 47 of the 100 most valuable German players have never earned a senior cap, their combined market value totalling €559.5 million.

Uncapped players hold €559.5 million market value

The latest Marktwerte‑Analyse on Transfermarkt shows that 47 of the top‑100 German professionals remain without a DFB‑Nominierung, and 56 have never featured in an A‑Spiel. Their cumulative market value reaches €559.5 million, a figure that underscores the depth of the German talent pool.

Klopp plans a broad selection

Klopp has hinted that the first Kadernominierung could be considerably larger than usual, potentially calling up to 30 players to cope with an unusually dense Nations‑League schedule – four matches in eleven days. Only 23 players, including three Torhüter, may be named for each individual Spiel, so the coach must trim the list for each Begegnung.

Top‑valued prospects among the uncapped

The most valuable German without an A‑Team invitation is 20‑year‑old Finn Jeltsch of VfB Stuttgart, rated at €35 million. He is followed by 19‑year‑old Karim Coulibaly (€28 million), who moved from Werder Bremen to Racing Strasbourg for €20 million in the summer. Nicolò Tresoldi, now at Brügge, is valued at €25 million after scoring six goals in seven U21 appearances.

Other notable names include 17‑year‑old Kennet Eichhorn of Bayer Leverkusen (€20 million), Fritz‑Walter‑Medaille winner, and Caspar Jander of Southampton (€18 million). Wael Mohya, Tim Lemperle (€17 million each) and Merlin Röhl, Vitaly Janelt (€16 million each) round out the high‑value group.

In total, 27 never‑nominated players with a market value of at least €10 million sit inside the current top‑100 German ranking, highlighting the breadth of untapped talent that Klopp may evaluate.
