Former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo on Friday completed the deal with Saudi Arabian league side Al Nassr. Immediately before the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Ronaldo became a free agent over a month after terminating his contract with Man United in November.

Once ad revenue is included, the former Real Madrid, Juventus, and Sporting Lisbon striker is now the best-paid athlete on the planet. 

CBS Sports reports that the entire volume of Ronaldo’s contract with Al Nassr would earn the Portuguese €216m a year.

By far, this cannot be measured with the €75m per season of Paris Saint-Germain stars Lionel Messi and Neymar’s €70m. 

Here is the list of the top ten highest earners after Ronaldo’s contract:

#10.   Kevin De Bruyne (Man City) – $29m

#9.     Andres Iniesta (Vissel Kobe) – $30m

#8.     Eden Hazard (Real Madrid) – $31m

#7.     Robert Lewandowski (FC Barcelona) – $35m

#6.     Erling Haaland (Man City) – $39m

#5.     Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – $53m

#4.     Neymar (PSG) – $87m

#3.     Lionel Messi (PSG) – $110m

#2.     Kylian Mbappé (PSG) $128m

#1.     Cristiano Ronaldo (PSG) $214m
