Milan – Reigning World Champion with France, star of Paris Saint-Germain, a champion destined to dominate the world football scene for the next ten years. Thanks to his plays and his goals, Kylian Mbappé managed to break the dominance of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the world of football.
While waiting to reach their number of trophies and goals, he has already surpassed them in another ranking: that of the highest paid footballer in the world. According to estimates by Forbesin the 2022-2023 season the Frenchman will in fact earn 128 million dollars: 8 million more than Messi and 28 more than Cristiano Ronaldo.
An even more striking result if we consider that the Argentine and Portuguese phenomena have occupied the top two positions in the ranking since 2014. What’s more: when Messi and CR7 broke through the 100 million dollar wall in 2018, they had respectively 31 and 33 years. Mbappé did it at 23.
Despite the overtaking of Mbappé, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are not doing badly anyway. Both are still world icons and continue to increase their partnerships, which allow them to respectively occupy the second and third step of the podium of the ranking of the highest paid players.
The PSG trident occupies three of the first four positions: in fourth place is Neymar, who precedes Liverpool’s Egyptian Mohamed Salah.
In sixth position, Manchester City prodigy Erling Håland makes his debut in the top ten, the only one of the top ten, besides Mbappé, to be less than 30 years old. The Barcelona striker follows Robert Lewandowski, Real Madrid winger Eden Hazard, eternal Andrés Iniesta (now in Japan at Vissel Kobe) and Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne.
According to estimates by Forbesthe ten highest-paid footballers in the world this season are expected to collectively earn $ 652 million, an increase of 11% from last year’s $ 585 million.
