All the money in the world: how much the highest-paid footballers get paid

All the money in the world: how much the highest-paid footballers get paid

Spoiler: almost all of them play for Barcelona.

A week ago, Spotrac portal published a list of players with the highest salaries in the APL. The first place was occupied by Spanish goalkeeper David De Hea, who plays for Manchester United. According to the media, he earns € 23 million a year. The second and third places were shared by Manchester City’s Belgian midfielder Kevin de Bruyne with an annual income of € 19.7 million and Raheem Sterling, who also plays for Manchester United and earns € 18.5 million.

We do the math and tell you who are the highest paid players in other leagues.

Lionel Messi

Club: Barcelona.

According to the French publication L’Equipe, the winner of six Golden Balls and six Golden Boots receives € 8.3 million a month before taxes. Leo proves his importance to the team every year without unnecessary questions and scandals and has remained the highest paid player in the world for several years.

Luis Suarez

Club: Barcelona.

The Uruguayan footballer has always dreamed of playing and living in Spain. And in 2014, he moved from Liverpool to Barcelona. Suarez’s transfer became the most expensive in the history of “Barça” and the third most expensive in world soccer at that time. Now Luis receives a little less than € 3 million.

Antoine Griezmann

Club: Barcelona.

In fact, Griezmann shares fourth place with Suarez, as both earn the same at Barcelona.

The Frenchman moved to the Spanish club in 2019 and signed a five-year contract with the club. Many argue that the purchase of Griezmann was not the most far-sighted and sensible decision of the Barça management. In the 2018/2019 La Liga season, the striker scored only 15 goals. And so far, it cannot be said that this acquisition justifies itself 100 percent.
