Neymar has been ranked the most valuable player in Europe, according to a new study by the CIES Football Observatory.
According to the study, if a team were to make a move for Barcelona striker Neymar, they should pay no less than £248million, Daily Mail reports.
This is more than the current world record, the £89m paid by Manchester United for Paul Pogba.
The Barcelona striker is ahead of team-mate Lionel Messi, who is valued by academics at £170million, while Ballon d'Or winner and FIFA world's best player Cristiano Ronaldo is seventh on the list with a transfer worth of £126million.
The only England players in the top 10 are Tottenham duo Harry Kane (worth £139million) and Dele Alli (£110million).
The study was carried out by a team of academics from the CIES Football Observatory, using a transfer value algorithm.
