Top 5: Who will be the worlds first £100m star? 5. Radamel Falcao The 27-year-old left the Vicente Calderon this summer, having been coaxed to Ligue 1 by the financial might of Monaco for a reported fee of £50 million. If he continues to perform at such an elite level under Claudio Ranieri, it is not beyond possibility that someone could offer double that fee in the future. 4. Gareth Bale Given the good form he has displayed at the Santiago Bernabeu since arriving in La Liga and the fact that he is still just 24-years-old, it would be somewhat naive to expect him to stay in Spain for the rest of his career. With Real having lavished £85m upon the Welshman, you can bet that, if they were to sell him in the future, that they would be looking to make a significant profit. 3. Neymar The youngest member of this list at just 21, the Brazil star could have potentially a decade at the highest level in front of him and any team who wish to prise him away from Spain in the future would surely have to pay well over the £100 million mark. 2. Cristiano Ronaldo It appears that the Portuguese does not always receive the credit he deserves due to being perennially stuck in the shadow of one Lionel Messi, the Portuguese is an utterly outstanding attacking asset and, in the unlikely event that he did want to leave La Liga, you can bet his services would demand a truly eye-watering fee. 1. Lionel Messi An unsurprising candidate for such a list, Im sure you will agree. Given the outstanding individual and indeed team success he has enjoyed with Barcelona, it seems incredibly unlikely that Messi will ever seek to depart the Camp Nou or that the club themselves will look to move him on. However, in the event that the 26-year-old does ever leave the Catalan giants, you can be sure - if he remains in his prime - that he will command a fee well, well in excess of £100 million. -AP
