    Highest paid players in the world

    Although MLS players earn substantial wages, their salaries appear modest compared to the world's top earners, with nobody from MLS making the top-five list.

    At the top is the ageless Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr. In second place is Al Ittihad's Karim Benzema, while Riyad Mahrez of Al Ahli secures the third spot.

    Meanwhile, Senegalese internationals Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly round off the list at third and fourth position, respectively.
