Traditionally, at the beginning of each year, the Institute of Sports Statistics (CIES) publishes the list of the most valuable players on the planet, looking at the nine most important parameters.

Among the other parameters, the most important are the years, form, representative experience and the length of the contract.

As expected, at the top of the list is the most expensive football player of all time, Neymar whose value is estimated at 213m euros!

Immediately after him are Leo Messi with 202 million euros and Harry Kane with 194.7 million euros. The analysis is less peculiar, mostly due to the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is at 49th place and its value is estimated at "only" 80.4m euros.

In the top 10 are still Kianian Mbape with 192.5 million, followed by Paolo Dibala (174.6), Dele Ali (171.3), Kevin de Bruyne (167.8), Romelu Lukaku (164.8), Antoine Grizman 150) and Paul Pogba (147.5).
