Who are the highest paid sportsmen: from Cristiano Ronaldo to Mbappé and Messi

Cristiano Ronaldo has signed with the Saudi team Al Nassr, led by former Roma coach, Rudi Garcia. The agreement would guarantee the Portuguese a salary of 200 million euros a year for the next two and a half years (until June 2025 when he would stop playing football) for around 500 million euros in total. According to rumors, however, CR7 would be given another 500 million euros from June 2025 until 2030 for his role as ambassador of the Kingdom in order to get Saudi Arabia to win the 2030 World Cup together with Egypt and Greece. For a total of one billion euros until 2030. The highest figure ever given to a footballer. But let’s see who are the other athletes who get paid a lot (only for engagement, excluding sponsorships).
