Who makes it into the football rich list?
With Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic having signed lucrative new deals with their clubs, fanatix takes a look at the best paid players in world football.
10. Edinson Cavani
Club: PSG.
Annual salary: £8.4m.
The Uruguayan is Paris Saint-Germain’s most expensive player of all time after joining from Napoli this summer for £55m and the salary reflects this.
9. Gareth Bale
Club: Real Madrid.
Annual salary: £9.3m.
Bale became the most expensive player of all time when joining Los Blancos this transfer window for £85.3m, but isn’t the best paid.
8. Thiago Silva
Club: PSG.
Annual salary: £10.1m.
The Brazil captain also signed a new long-term deal with PSG this summer and is also the most expensive defender of all time.
7. Sergio Aguero
Club: Manchester City.
Annual salary: £10.5m.
City’s club record signing makes it to number seven on the list and with a hugely impressive goal-scoring record to date it’s easy to see why.
6. Yaya Toure
Club: Manchester City.
Annual salary: £11m.
The second Citizens player on this list to be reaping the rewards of Sheikh Mansour’s money is the supremely talented Toure.
