Argentine attacking midfielder, formerly Fluminense, now playing in China.

Knew about Neymar, quite surprised that Buffon is so high on the list, but I guess he deserved it .

Fucking hell

All deserved.

Stuff like this gets me really down lol. I'm pretty talented but was never disciplined enough to take it anywhere...+ I have surrendered myself to the fact I will never see any sizeable percentage of this money

PES cult-hero

Madrid's Jose Mourinho is the highest earner among managers, with $19.5
million.

Gordon said on the podcast that most of Neymar's wages are paid by sponsorships paid to Santos.

Santos shut down their women's team as well as a training facility just so they could afford his wages.

he's not even that good

Brazilian teams are not that poor overall though. Didn't really shock me when I saw his name.

No shit.

Hmm, No Adebayor or Nasri

Keep in mind that this isn't just salary but mostly sponsorship deals, don't think Nasri and Ade are doing any adverts

So Eto'o is the highest salaried player and David Beckham is the most overrated marketing tool.

Meh, you say it like Eto'o deserves to get the highest salary, and by some distance.

I don't. I think it should go to Messi then Ronaldo.

How so ?

Look how much he makes from the Galaxy, and then how much he makes with it combined with sponsorship.

It's not surprising though.

Didnt realise Lampard was so high up

Biggest marketing tool yes. Overrated marketing tool no, the dude sells.
