This list comes from Portuguese site futebolfinance.com
and the releasing of this list appears to have crippled said website as
it is seemingly down, perhaps due to mass interest. Of the 100 there
are of course the usual suspects but more than a few surprises. Remember
these figures are based solely on salaries paid by the player’s clubs
and is presented as a monthly and annual total.
T O P 1 0
10. Philip Lahm (Bayern Munich / Germany) £11.9m
Captain of the new-look Germany side, Philip Lham rockets into the top ten following a successful season with Bayern Munich.
As well as a deal to wear adidas football boots, Lahm’s renewed Deal
with his Bavarian club has had a year to mature, putting him amongst the
world’s highest earners for the first time.
9. Kaka (Real Madrid / Brazil) £12.9m
As well as a healthy deal with Real Madrid, Kaka’s charm and
wholesome image have helped him keep his spot in the top ten, as deals
with adidas and EA Sports supplement his Los Blancos paycheque.
It’s telling of his on-field performance, though, that the Brazilian
midfielder is actually earning around £2m less than this time last year.
8. Fernando Torres (Spain / Chelsea) £13.9m
Despite his well-documented troubles since his move to Stamford
Bridge, Spanish striker Torres’ deal with Chelsea has propelled him into
the Top 10 highest-paid footballers for the first time in his career.
Addition spending money comes from the likes of Pepsi and Nike, who
will hope that the golden-haired forward can force his way back into the
Spain squad in time for Euro 2012.
7. Yaya Toure (Man City / Ivory Coast) £14.7m
Another player to benefit from a new deal at a new club is Manchester City Powerhouse Yaya Toure.
The midfielder has become a key member of the City squad since his
move from La Liga, and it’s worth noting he donates his sponsorship
money from his Puma boot deal to charity. Top man.
6. Sergio Aguero (Man City / Argentina) £15.7m
It’s a similar story for Toure’s team-mate and Puma sponsor-ee Sergio
Aguero. The diminutive Argentine has quickly proven his worth at the
Etihad Stadium – a difficult task on such a large wage – and has
switched his boot supplier to Puma following a protracted move from
Nike.
5. Wayne Rooney (England / Man United) £17.2m
Despite a year dogged by scandal, Manchester United hitman Wayne
Rooney boosted his earnings by nearly £5m over the past 12 months to
enter the top 5 highest-paid footballers for the first time in his
career.
Rooney’s potential lack of action during Euro 2012 will likely upset his sponsors, but the likes of Nike and EA Sports will be thrilled with his performances for the Red Devils this season.
4. Samuel Eto’o (Anzhi / Cameroon) £19.4m
No surprises as to why Samuel Eto’o has jumped up 6 places from last year!
The Cameroon international was one of the first ‘marquee’ signings
from ultra-spenders Anzhi Makhachkala, and his deal sees his earnings
more than double over this time last year.
3. Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid / Portugal) £24.3m
Portuguese national squad captain Cristiano Ronaldo drops a place to
third this year despite bolstering his earnings by over £1.5m over this
time last year.
As well as being officially the most expensive player in the world,
the superstar’s deal to keep him in Nike Mercurial football boots is
reportedly one of the biggest in sports. Throw in his ludicrously
fat-free physique and his status as the most socially-networked athlete
in the world, and he’s a worthwhile face for any company.
2. David Beckham (England / LA Galaxy) £26.2m
fter much ‘Umm’ing and ‘Ahh’ing over the MLS off-season, Beckham
turned down a potentially massive move to PSG in favour of staying with
the LA Galaxy for at least one more season.
The former England captain’s new deal and hugely-marketed underwear
deal with highstreet fashion label H&M see GoldenBalls earning over
£2m more than in the previous financial year.
Well, well – look who’s back on top! After a record-breaking last 12
months, the mercurial Messi’s earnings are now as superfluous as the
words used to describe him.
A signature clothing range with adidas and a deal to see him become the cover star for EA Sports games from this season onward has seen the Barca ace add nearly £8m to his earnings over the past 12 months.
Should his history-making form continue, it’s likely that we’ll see that figure continue to rise – over the next 12 months.
