THE TOP-10 BEST-PAID FOOTBALLERS IN THE WORLD



  • Neymar's £500,000-a-week deal means he joins world's top 10 richest players
  • New Paris Saint-Germain forward is still behind Carlos Tevez on weekly wage 
  • Chinese Super League accounts for six of the top 10 richest stars of the game 
  • La Liga trio Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale remain high on list


  • Neymar's eye-watering move to Paris Saint-Germain has been the talk of the footballing world this week.

    La Liga officials tried to block it at the 11th hour, refusing to initially accept payment of the player's buyout clause believing that the bid was in breach of Financial Fair Play rules, but the Brazilian is now a PSG player.

    Arsene Wenger described his £198million switch from Barcelona as 'irrational', with the Arsenal manager admitting he is unable to compete at the top end of an inflated market.


    Having smashed the previous world transfer record paid by Manchester United for Paul Pogba last summer, Neymar will now be expected to sell shirts, move mountains and be the figurehead of his new club. 
    To break down just how much Neymar will earn at the Parc des Princes, his £500,000 weekly wage works out at roughly: £71,428 a day, £2,976 an hour, £50 a minute, and 82 pence a second.
