Vinicius takes top spot and his shiny new value of £90 million makes him the joint-third most valuable footballer in the world, behind only Haaland and Kylian Mbappe.
If the Brazilian continues to light up stadiums around the globe in the 2022/23, he will almost certainly have entered into the £100 million and above bracket by this time next year.
The £38.70 million Real Madrid coughed up to sign the 21-year-old in 2018 now looks like an absolute bargain, doesn’t it?
