No other player from Barcelona is included in this ranking, which consists of five players who activate at European clubs and five who play in China. Tevez, the second-ranked, receives 38 million euros annually from the Chinese club of Shanghai Shenhua.
Neymar completes the podium, becoming the most expensive footballer of all time, with a salary of 36 million euros a year from PSG.
Real Madrid has two players in this top
Cristiano Ronaldo receives 34 million euro, occupying the fourth position, while team member Gareth Bale has 23 million euros a year (6th place).
Among them, we also encounter Brazilian football player Oscar, who also plays in China – with 24 million euros a year.
Also coming from China are the following top players: Lavezzi (22 million) and Hulk (20 million). Pogba completes the top with 17 million from Manchester United.
