Did you know that the highest-paid football player earns 14,269 US Dollars per minute?
After a couple of high-profile transfers and new contract extensions, we can finally present you the top 10 highest-paid football players in 2022!
The total annual earnings are divided into salary and bonuses from the players’ clubs on one hand, and endorsements and sponsorship deals on the other.
As you know from our previous article about the richest athletes, a significant portion of their income usually comes from lucrative deals with well-known brands.
For example, the number one spot earns 44 percent of his total yearly income through endorsements and sponsorships!
Alright, let’s jump right into the list!
10 . Eden Hazard
Eden Hazard 10th highest paid footballer
The 30-years old Belgian earns around 26 million US Dollars a year playing for Real Madrid.
Eden also has lucrative endorsements with McDonald’s in Belgium, as well as Nike and
Nissan, generates another 3 million US Dollars annually.
If you follow Real Madrid, you’ll know that the Belgian is currently falling short of expectations, with the younger and less expensive Vinicius Junior outshining him.
Due to this, Hazard might not be a Madrid player for much longer – let’s see if he is still on the list in a year!
9 . Gareth Bale
Just like Eden Hazard, the 32-years old Welsh earns 26 million US Dollars playing for Real Madrid.
And just like Eden Hazard, Bale is also way behind expectations and on the way out.
In addition to that massive salary, he generated around 6 million US Dollars through his endorsements with Taylormade, Nissan, Adidas, and others.
Since this is the last season in his contract, there is a high chance Bale won’t be on the list next year.
