#1 Neymar - £162 million
Touted to be a potential Ballon d'Or winner in forthcoming years, Neymar has bagged a place atop this list by dint of his world-record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
Ever since the Brazilian wunderkind started playing for the French giants, he has hit the ground running alongside his fearsome teammates - Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe. With Neymar only 26 years old and on the peak of his powers, he has managed to turn heads of umpteen top dogs across Europe.
In the 2017-18 season, he racked up 28 goals and engineered 16 assists in 30 outings for Les Parisiens and the stats could have been even more impressive if it had not been for a fractured metatarsal in early March.
