On Monday (the 8th), the CIES Football Observatory released its list of the 100 Most Valuable Athletes in the World, and Neymar Jr. once again tops the list. The Paris Saint-Germain star was valued at €213 million.

Eight other Brazilians appeared on the list: Philippe Coutinho (€123 million), Gabriel Jesus (€122.6 million), Firmino (€102.9 million), Ederson (€93.5 million), Fabinho (€79.3 million), Marquinhos (€71.8 million), Casemiro (€62.9 million), and Jemerson (€55.4 million).

As in previous rankings, the study takes into account contract length, position, age, and club to estimate the value of a potential transfer for the athlete. Neymar Jr. tops the list once again, ahead of the current best player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, valued at €80.4 million, and the second-best soccer player, Lionel Messi, valued at €202.2 million.
