The world's richest football teams Player


Cristiano Ronaldo was the world's highest-paid footballer and highest paid team athlete 2015, according to US business magazine Forbes.

Real Madrid star Ronaldo was said to have earned a total of $82 million (£56.7m), with an annual salary of $53m (£36.7m) and $29m (£20m) in endorsements.
The 31-year-old Portugal captain, who became the world's most expensive player when he joined Madrid from Manchester United for £80m in 2009, signed a lucrative new five-year contract at the Bernabeu in 2013.
Forbes, which also ranked Real Madrid as football's most valuable club, said Ronaldo, a three-time FIFA Ballon d'Or winner, is now the best-paid team athlete across all sport.

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or winner, was second in the list on $77m (£53.3m), with the 28-year-old's $51m (£35.3m) salary augmented by $26m (£18m) in endorsements. The Argentina captain renewed his Barca contract in 2014.
Forbes reported that Ronaldo has made $550m (£380.9m) over the course of his 14-year playing career, which began with Sporting Lisbon, while Messi, who has spent his entire career with Barca, has made $450m (£311.5m) in his 11 years.

Former basketball star Kobe Bryant, who retired in April, is the only team sport athlete to have made more than Ronaldo, with Forbes reporting that he earned $680m (£470.8m) in a career that lasted 17 years.

Ronaldo and Messi, who have been the only Ballon d'Or winners since Kaka's 2007 success, are some distance ahead of Paris Saint-Germain star Zlatan Ibrahimovic in third.
The Sweden captain, 34, made the bulk of his $37m (£25.6m) through his salary with the Ligue 1 champions, with only $7m (£4.84m) coming through endorsements.
Ibrahimovic is out of contract at PSG this summer and has yet to make a decision on his next move, with AC Milan and Manchester United among the potential destinations.

Barcelona and Brazil forward Neymar was named the fourth biggest earner, on $36m (£24.9m).
Forbes reports that the 24-year-old is the only footballer on the list to earn more in endorsements ($22m or £15.2m) than through his salary ($14m or £9.69m).
Neymar, who joined Barca from Santos in 2013, has been tipped to sign a more lucrative deal with the Catalan club for some time, but the agreement has reportedly been held up due to financial issues.

Forbes' top five highest-paid footballers:

1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid): $82m (£56.7m)
2 Lionel Messi (Barcelona): $77m (£53.3m)
3 Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Paris Saint-Germain): $37m (£25.6m)
4 Neymar (Barcelona): $36m (£24.9m)
5 Gareth Bale (Real Madrid): $34m (£23.5m)
