Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has reclaimed top spot in the list of the world's highest-paid soccer players from Lionel Messi, according to Forbes.

Ronaldo, 36, rejoined United from Juventus in August after 12 years away, while Messi has swapped boyhood club Barcelona to join Paris St Germain.

Forbes said Ronaldo, among the world's most popular athletes with over 500 million followers across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, is set to make $125 million before taxes in the 2021-22 season, with $70 million coming from salary and bonuses at United.

The rest will come from endorsements and partnerships with brands including Nike, Herbalife, Clear and his CR7 brand.

Messi, who topped last year's list, will be paid a salary of $75 million with an additional $35 million from endorsements for total expected earnings of $110 million.

The Argentine's strike partner at PSG Neymar, who in May signed a new contract until 2025, is third on the list with total earnings of $95 million.

Another PSG player, Kylian Mbappe ($43 million), is fourth on the Forbes list while Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah ($41 million) is fifth.

Top 10 highest earners in soccer:

Cristiano Ronaldo - $125 million

Lionel Messi - $110 million

Neymar - $95 million

Kylian Mbappe - $43 million

Mohamed Salah - $41 million

Robert Lewandowski - $35 million

Andres Iniesta - $35 million

Paul Pogba - $34 million

Gareth Bale - $32 million

Eden Hazard - $29 million

Another piece of evidence to show that Manchester City are ruining football

All at a 50m premium, you have to respect them, great ability and consistency in wasting money.

It's Smeagol, goddamnit !

Thought that was Moyes!

 

[its grim up north]

Rag fans know full well who is really in charge there, and it ain't Ole.

Well if that be true , he who is in charge is doing a shit job anyway. Maybe it's time for Ole to take the wheel.

Who the fuck is Scott McTominay's agent?! Imagine getting less than half of what Tuanzebe gets when you're one of their best big-game players

Imagine Scott Mctominay being one of your best big-game players ;-)

Happy Friday blues...........

The United Way lol

Like with Rashford the Two Dannies can run very fast and kick the ball very hard if pointed in the right direction. But often they veer off on both - now that's the United Way
