Europe’s highest paid top footballers have been revealed
with Barcelona’s Messi and Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo taking the lead.
Messi is however, earning astonishingly more than twice the
wages of his rival.
Recall that Messi’s Barcelona contract details were leaked
earlier in the year and it was the biggest deal in sporting history.
And now French outlet, L’Equipe reports that the Argentina
International’s salary breaks down to an incredible weekly wage of £2.1 million
which is about £108.2 million yearly income.
Ronaldo is second on the list with £900,000 weekly from
Juventus, according to L’Equipe and earns £46.7 million per year.
This is less than half of Messi’s salary.
Brazilian international and Paris Saint-Germain forward,
Neymar, occupies the third position with the earnings of £606,000 per week
(£31.5 million per year) from the French champions.
Joint fourth on the list, Luis Suarez, collects £575,000 per
week from Atletico Madrid and Barca’s Antoine Griezmann earns something
similar: just under £30 million per year, according to the report.
Another PSG star, Kylian Mbappe will apparently get a salary
increase to €30 million per season if he signs a new contract with the club.
