Here is the list of the 10 highest paid footballers in 2023. We are only talking about salaries here, excluding marketing income. And unsurprisingly the leader is called Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese star surprised everyone this January with the announcement of his transfer to Saudi club Al Nassr. A choice that made little sense once unveiled, as the five-time Ballon d’Or has an extraordinary competitive spirit. But once the salary of “CR7” revealed, we could see more clearly. Indeed, Al Nassr offers an annual salary to his new recruit up to 260 million dollars, just that. Behind, we find the trio of Parisian stars with Mbappé, Messi and Neymar, respectively. Also unsurprisingly. The rest of the ranking is also made up of big names and we invite you to take a look below at these amounts that can make you dizzy.
- Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr): 260 M $
- Kylian Mbappe (PSG): $122m
- Lionel Messi (PSG) : 120 M$
- Neymar (PSG) : 87 M$
