This is a tricky one, but we're going to go with the only 26-year-old who could reasonably be considered the best in the world at his position.
Frenkie De Jong and Nicolò Barella are both fantastic modern eights, who do a little bit of everything on the field but have their sliders turned up toward an attacking impact around the box. They just both feel like secondary players, rather than transformative ones.
The case against Kim is that he's only on his second season in the Big Five leagues. Are we overvaluing one lights out season in Napoli and are we crediting him too much for simply being on the same team as Victor Osimhen and Kvaratshkelia? Perhaps, but we're opting for the potential that he'll be one of the best CBs in the world for the next five years over the more known outcomes we'd get from Barella and De Jong. CPM puts De Jong first, Kim second and Barella third.
