Four Richest Football Players This Year
Let us now look at the richest football players in the world who bring in the greatest audience numbers and encash the biggest transfers.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo
This is actually expected. Ronaldo has been the richest and most popular player (along with Messi) for years now. His Instagram followers are also a staggering 400 million. The 36-year-old star player has recently shifted from Juventus F.C to Manchester United, where he had debuted back in 2003. He returned to Man U on 31st August and was given the jersey number 7 after Edinson Cavani agreed to take up 21. The first 24 hours envisaged a massive sale of Ronaldo’s shirt sales that had broken all records following a transfer, including Messi’s shift to PSG earlier the same year. The Portuguese player has a net worth of around 125 million euros. He also has Nike, Tag Heuer, CocaCola, and Herbalife sponsorships.
2. Lionel Messi
The 34-year old star from Argentina is considered the best footballer in the world currently, with constant competition against Ronaldo. His huge popularity is only expected. Last year, his transfer from Barcelona, where he had played all his life to Paris Saint-Germain, did not only bring him under the limelight but made him and all his fans over the world tear apart. With a net worth of 110 million euros, he is only the second richest football player in the world today. His sponsorships include Adidas, Pepsico (Pepsi, Lays, Gatorade), Huawei, Konami, MasterCard, Cirque du Soleil.
3. Neymar Jr.
Following Messi and Ronaldo, this former Barcelona player is only third in wealth and popularity. He also had impressive performances for his country Brazil at the World Cup. The 29-year old currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain, and his net worth is 95 million euros. His sponsors are Puma, Triller, Gillette, L’Oreal, and Air Jordan.
4. Kylian Mbappe
Also, one of the most popular football players today, he has a significant decrease in his net worth compared to the other three. But then again, he is quite younger than the rest. The 22-year old from France also plays for Paris Saint-Germain now. So, PSG has really spent a lot on its players by making hefty transfers. His total earnings till 2021 amount to a total of 43 million euros. Moreover, he has a number of sponsorships from EA Sports, Dior, Nike, and Hublot.
