The Portuguese legend has made it yet again to the top with his recent signing with Al Nassr after snapping ties with Manchester United. He is set to earn $213 millionyear more than Messi and Mbappe combined.
WC golden boot winner and France ace star Kylian Mbappe is as crucial for PSG as the club itself and is entitled to an annual salary of $110 million.
WC hero and champion Lionel Messi is third on the list with decent earnings of $65 million which is slightly closer to his off-field income.
A PSG main third on the trot, the Brazilian superstar Neymar earns $55 million annually in salary from the French champion team.
The star Liverpool striker Salah is at the top of the cash-rich premier league with an annual income of $35 million coming from the previous season’s runner-up of the champions league.
The Norwegian beast Haaland is at par with Salah with an annual income of $35 million, however, is ranked a place lower than his PL rival owing to a lesser off-field income.
The Polish goal machine who made a switch to Barcelona last year earns $27 million annually, however, has a lot to do with the Spanish giants.
Hazard comes right next to Lewa from the rival club and Spanish champion Real Madrid with $27 million, however, trails in the off-field income.
Spanish and Barca playmaker Iniesta is still among the highest-paid players and is ranked 9th with Japanese side Vissel Kobe at $25 million, while Belgian star De Bruyne ends up at the bottom with the same pay.
