#2 Neymar- €180 million
Neymar came into prominence at an early age at Santos and made his professional debut aged 17. Neymar was twice named the South American Footballer of the Year, in 2011 and 2012, before moving to Europe to join Barcelona.
As part of Barca's attacking trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, he won the continental treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League, and came third for the FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2015 for his performances.
He followed it up by attaining a domestic double in the 2015–16 season. In August 2017, Neymar transferred from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in a move worth £200million, making him the most expensive player ever. In France, he claimed a domestic treble of Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Coupe de la Ligue, and was voted as the Ligue 1 Player of the Year.
The Brazilian was the subject of two high-value transfers subsequently from Santos to Barcelona and from Barcelona to PSG. The tricky forward has scored 19 goals and provided 14 assists in 25 games so far and is now worth €180 million.
