The 21-year old has been in impressive form scoring two world class goals at this years Confederations Cup in Brazil.
Scolari believes after his recent performances and his move to Barcelona this summer his player is up there with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
"Neymar is one of the three best players in the world," the 64-year-old told AS.
"In Brazil we all know what he is capable of and we have seen him do some amazing things for a 21-year-old."
Neymar made his Brazil debut in August 2010, and has won 36 caps, scoring 22 goals in the process.
