Cristiano Ronaldo, who is in his first year with Juventus F.C., is listed in 2nd place with a salary of $5.3 million, just over half of the amount of the Argentine.

Antoine Griezmann follows in third, earning $3.7 million. Neymar, meanwhile, is fourth with $3.5 million and Messi’s Barca team-mate Luis Suarez completes the top five, earning $3.3 million.

Gareth Bale is sixth on the list, with earnings of $2.8 million, meanwhile, Philippe Coutinho is placed in seventh, earning $2.6 million. Alexis Sanchez, who earns around $2.58 million per month at Old Trafford and features in eighth in the list.

Rounding off the top 10 are Neymar’s team-mate Kylian Mbappe taking home a sum of $2 million and Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil, who is credited with a salary of $1.8 million per month.
