Cristiano Ronaldo might no longer be an automatic first pick for Manchester United, but he remains one of the world's highest-earning footballers.
The Portugal international returned to Old Trafford on a bumper contract in 2021, making him the top-paid player at Old Trafford. His salary dwarfs those of the Premier League's best, even as the arrival of Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford has seen his starting opportunities limited.
Ronaldo also rakes in a huge amount in endorsement deals, with a number of off-field partnerships inflating the amount of money he takes home over the course of a year. That's not enough to see him claim the top spot, though, with four Premier League players making a top 10 which also includes stars from three other leagues.
