Ronaldo Tops Weekly Salary Rankings, Messi Falls to 13thFootball icon Cristiano Ronaldo has once again claimed the top spot among the world’s highest-paid footballers on a weekly salary basis, further underlining the financial impact of his record-breaking contract with Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr.
According to the latest salary rankings, Ronaldo’s massive weekly earnings place him comfortably ahead of every other footballer, while long-time rival Lionel Messi has dropped to 13th on the list following changes to his earnings structure at Inter Miami. Ronaldo’s lucrative deal with Al-Nassr, which includes salary, commercial agreements, and other incentives, remains one of the richest contracts in sporting history. The Portuguese superstar continues to dominate football’s financial landscape even in the latter stages of his legendary career. Messi, meanwhile, remains among football’s biggest global stars, but his current weekly earnings no longer match those of several players, particularly those playing in the Saudi Pro League. Despite the drop in the salary rankings, the Argentine captain continues to enjoy significant income through sponsorships, commercial partnerships, and his MLS contract. The latest figures highlight the growing financial power of Saudi Arabian football, which has attracted many of the world’s biggest stars with record-breaking contracts, reshaping the global football salary landscape. What do you think? Does Ronaldo deserve to remain football’s highest-paid player, or should on-field performance determine who earns the biggest salary?
