    Highest paid players in the world

    Despite the substantial earnings of Bundesliga players, particularly those from Bayern, they do not feature among the world's top five highest-paid footballers. This elite list is entirely dominated by Saudi Pro League athletes, with Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably one of the greatest forwards in history, leading the pack.

    His former Real Madrid colleague, Karim Benzema, secures the second position.

    Following them, Riyad Mahrez ranks third, with Senegalese stars Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly completing the top five.
