#3 Brazil (€981 million)
Five-time World Cup winners Brazil hardly disappoint on the pitch, and they have learnt to do that on paper as well.
With an average age of 28.6, they are the oldest squad on this list, but one with the goods required to lift the famous golden trophy. They are currently in second place in the FIFA World Rankings, which shows they deserve to be feared and respected in the tournament.
Brazil's most valuable asset is, of course, their skipper and PSG talisman Neymar (€180m), followed by Barcelona playmaker Philippe Coutinho (€100m) The duo are also the most expensive footballers on earth at the moment. Following them, are Premier League stars Roberto Firmino and Gabriel Jesus, who are both valued at €80 million.
Brazil will face Costa Rica, Switzerland and Serbia in the group stage, as they try and mount a challenge to win a record sixth World Cup this summer.
