1. Lionel Messi £172.6m
2. Cristiano Ronaldo £104.3m
3. Eden Hazard £77.6m
4. Diego Costa £65.9m
5. Paul Pogba £56.4m
6. Sergio Aguero £51m
7. Raheem Sterling £49.4m
8. Cesc Fabregas £48.6m
9. Alexis Sanchez £47.8m
10. Gareth Bale £47m
The top 10 features six Premier League
players - Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and Cesc
Fabregas of Chelsea, Sergio Aguero of
Manchester City, Raheem Sterling of Liverpool
and Alexis Sanchez of Arsenal.
But it finds Messi far and away the most
expensive player in Europe at the moment.
Ronaldo, the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or
for the world's best player this month, is
valued at £104.3m should someone try to
prise him away from European champions
Real.
Chelsea's Eden Hazard comes in at a cool
£77.6m, followed by his team-mate, the free-
scoring Diego Costa at £65.9m.
Paul Pogba, of Juventus and France, is fifth on
the list at £56.4m while Manchester City's
prolific Argentine Sergio Aguero is just above
the £50m mark. Liverpool's Sterling (£49.4m), Chelsea's
Fabregas (£48.6m), Arsenal's Sanchez
(£47.8m) and Real's Gareth Bale (£47m), who
commanded the world's biggest transfer fee in
2013, complete the top 10.
The values of everyone in the top 10 except
Messi and Bale has increased since the last
ranking was released in June.
The CIES Football Observatory used their own
algorithm based on 1,500 completed transfers
since 2009 to work out the current 'price
guide'. It also takes into consideration player
performance such as goals, assists and other
on-pitch stats as well as their age, position
and contract duration. It also weighs up
results achieved by their club and national
teams.
The star-studded list also features the likes of
Neymar (11th, £45.4m), Angel Di Maria (12th,
£44.6m), Luis Suarez (16th, £37.6m) and
Radamel Falcao (60th, £21.9m).
