Who earns the most in Saudi Arabia?

The transfer window closed this week in Saudi Arabia. The opportunity to recall the top 10 highest paid players.

The Saudi Arabian championship got what it wanted. Let us talk about him during the summer transfer window. The media could hardly refuse this visibility from the moment when big names, at least renowned footballers, playing in Europe gave in to the sirens of the Saudi Pro League.

Often dizzying figures have also circulated, whether those of compensation or players’ income. Among the highest paid, unsurprisingly, Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nassr) and Karim Benzema (Al-Ittihad) come at the top.

The Portuguese and French striker would receive around 200 million euros per year, recalled Saturday The Sun. This sum would not only include the salary. We think of bonuses, advertising revenue and others.

After the two former Real Madrid players, there is a fairly significant gap. N’Golo KantĂ© (100M – Al-Ittihad), Riyad Mahrez (50m) – Al-Ahli) and Jordan Henderson (41M – Al Ettifaq) join the top 5.
