10 most valuable football players in the world right now

#9 Antoine Griezmann - £92 million

FBL-ESP-LIGA-GETAFE-ATLETICO — Griezmann has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona

The Frenchman is one of the best forwards in world football at the moment and his time at Atletico Madrid looks like it is coming to an end with Barcelona extremely keen on signing the 27-year-old.

The talented striker has once again been in good form this season having scored 27 goals so far. Quick, skilled and blessed with a magical left-foot, Griezmann has been Atletico Madrid's best player this season and has played a major role in their impressive LaLiga and Europa League campaign.

With Barcelona looking to seal the deal for Griezmann before the start of the FIFA World Cup, the Frenchman could soon be plying his trade along with the likes of Lionel Messi and Philippe Coutinho

With Griezmann only 27 and at the peak of his career, it will come as a surprise to nobody if his market value crosses the £100 million mark next year.
