Highest paid players in the world
Despite the astronomical wages of the top earners in the Premier League, they don't even come close to salaries of the highest-paid players in the world.
At the pinnacle sits the all-time top goal-scorer of the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently plays his football for Al Nassr, followed by his former Real Madrid attacking partner Karim Benzema.
Meanwhile, former Manchester City player Riyad Mahrez makes an appearance at number three, followed by Senegalese internationals Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly.
All five highest paid players in the world currently play in the Saudi Pro League.
