Lionel Messi may be the GOAT, but he’s only the seventh most valuable player in the world currently, according to a new report.

The CIES Football Observatory reckon the Barcelona captain is worth €171.2m, which is way below PSG striker Kylian Mbappe who tops the charts at €218.5m.
Barcelona’s other representative in the top 10 is Philippe Coutinho who comes in just behind Messi at €157.0m.

The valuations are determined by the CIES’ ‘exclusive algorithm’ which considers a variety of attributes including age, results, position and league. More details are available here.
