12. David De gea (Manchester United): Almost joined Real Madrid in the summer but the move failed to materialise. He signed a new contract early in the season and became the highest paid goalkeeper ever and presently.

8. Neymar (Barcelona): The second part of the MSN. The Brazil national team captain is one of the most talented players in the world who was named by Cristiano Ronaldo is the player who would most likely take over from himself and Lionel Messi.
£220,000-per-week
£11.4m annually
£11.4m annually
7. Asamoah Gyan (Shanghai SIPG): A rather surprising inclusion but Gyan has always been one of the highest paid players in the world for the past four years. He earned a lot at Al Ain in the UAE before moving to China.

6. Sergio Aguero (Manchester City): One of the best out-and out strikers in the world but fitness issues have limited his influences over time. When on song, he can lead Manchester City to titles (remember the final day of the 2011/2012 EPL season).

5. Yaya Toure (Manchester City): The four time African footballer of the year has been linked with a move away from the Etihad but always seems to renew his contract and stay put. Toure once said he is underrated by FIFA because he is an African.
£230,000-per-week
£11.9m annually
4. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Paris Saint-Germain): Zlatan needs no introduction on this list. He has been one of the highest paid players in world football ever since his Inter Milan days. Do you dare to Zlatan?

£250,000-per-week
£13m annually

2. Lionel Messi (Barcelona): Number two was either going to be Messi or Ronaldo. Messi takes second spot after Ronaldo’s new contract was signed last season. The Argentine is on course to win a fifth Ballon D’or title…
£275,000-per-week after tax
£14.5m annually after tax
£14.5m annually after tax
1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid): If number two is Messi, number one has to be Cristiano Ronaldo. The Protuguese has been named the best player in the world for the past two seasons. He is also the second most expensive player ever and is shattering record on a daily basis.
