Top 20 best paid footballers in Europe: where does Man United’s Wayne Rooney now rank?

Drogba seems to have a knack for finding wealthy clubs. After leaving Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea legend briefly played in China before moving back to Europe for mega-rich Turkish outfit Galatasaray. He will face Chelsea in the last-16 of the Champions League this week and can now boast to be paid better than any of the West London club’s stars.
