Aleksandar Mitrovic salary: How much does Al Hilal star earn per week and annually in Saudi Pro League?

Mitrovic earns about £405,434 ($523,951) under his current contract at Al Hilal, which makes him the joint second-top earner at the club alongside Serge Milinkovic-Savic, who is on identical wages as that of Mitrovic.

His annual salary scales over £21 million ($27m).

Former Chelsea and Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly stands as the highest-paid player of the Al Hilal squad since Neymar's departure to Santos after an injury ridden stint with the Saudi side.

Meanwhile, as we just saw, Milinkovic-Savic and Mitrovic acquire the next two spots in the list with identical wages.

At number four comes in Brazilian winger Malcom, while Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves completes the list at the number five spot.

Despite Mitrovic being one of the top earners at Al Hilal, he doesn't even come close when compared to the top earners across the league. His team-mate Koulibaly does make an appearance in the list though.

Former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo is the highest-paid player in the league with an unbelievable salary playing at Al Nassr. Meanwhile, Al Ittihad's Karim Benzema makes his appearance at second position, followed by Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez.

At number four and five are Sadio Mane and Koulibaly respectively.
