Messi tops Ronaldo on highest-paid footballers list
Feb 08, 2019
Lionel Messi is the best-paid footballer on the planet!
The Argentine leads the list for the top 10 highest-paid footballers in the world, bringing in RM38 mil a month, before taxes!
Messi trumps longtime rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who rakes in RM21 mil a month.
Surprisingly, Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann makes up the top 3, and not Neymar, as would be expected.
The list is made up entirely of players from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1, with the Bundesliga the only top-five league that does not have a representative.
