World's highest paid footballers going into WC 2014
Annual earnings in millions of US dollars
1. Ronaldo 73 2. Messi 65 (set to rise) 3. Ibra 34 4. Neymar 28 5. Falcao 26 6. Bale 24 7. Rooney 22 8. Aguero 21 9. Y. Toure 21 10. Torres 20 Source: Forbes Predictably there's a gap between the two big guns and the rest. After that it's not the best indicator of ability, and you can see why Serie A is no longer a top destination for elite footballers. |

Sponsorships probably, can't imagine that's Suarez' strong point.

Spain shouldn't be able to spend so much on wages, considering their struggling economy. But I do recognise the listed players are from Barcelona & Real Madrid, who negotiate their own tv deals. But I predict Serie A could remerge when/if Spain have to cut back on spending.
As for the list, I think the only players earning more than their talent merits are : Aguero, Rooney and Neymar (at this stage of his career). Otherwise, if I was to be asked, 'Who are the best players of the modern game?' I would suggest most of these names. |
