A study carried out by the CIES Football Observatory has shown the highest-valued players in the market, with a surprising difference between Ronaldo and Neymar's valuations.

Ronaldo is left out of the top ten most valuable footballers in the world.

The ranking includes 100 players who are worth over 40 million euros based on an undisclosed algorithm which takes into account age, game stats, current market prices and each player's potential salary, among other things.

Neymar tops the list with a value of 210.7 million euros, followed by Dele Alli (155.1) and Tottenham teammate Harry Kane (153.3).

The list is completed by Messi (151,7 millones), Griezmann (150,3), Luis Suárez (140,8), Pogba (134,4), Higuaín (120,2), Hazard (117,2) and Dybala (115,3). To many people's dismay, Cristiano is eleventh (112,4 millones).

The estimated value of the Premier League's best players is the highest in the top leagues, with an average of 85 million compared to La Liga's 75.
