The French newspaper "L'Equipe" revealed a new list of the five highest salaries of European football stars, reflecting a very wide gap between Barcelona captain, Argentine Lionel Messi, and the rest of the other players, including Juventus striker Ronaldo, and Brazilian Neymar, the star of Saint-Germain.
But the surprise is the absence of the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah from the list, as he receives about 16 million euros annually from Liverpool, while Frenchman Antoine Griezmann is in fourth place with a very large salary of more than 30 million euros.
According to L'Equipe, Messi gets 124 million euros annually and 2.5 million euros a week, something that costs Barcelona's treasury a lot.
This came after the recent renewal of Messi's contract, which expires next summer.
The second on the list is Ronaldo with one million and 44 thousand euros per week, and 55 million annually.
While the third is Neymar, with 37 million euros a year, and 703,000 euros a week.
And fourth, the Frenchman Antoine Griezmann, about 35 million euros, 650,000 per week, followed directly by Atletico striker Luis Suarez with 34 million euros and about 600,000 euros a week.
As for one of the best rising football stars at present, Kylian Mbappe, he is out of this list, despite receiving 29 million euros a year, but his salary is expected to rise to 35 million, if his contract is renewed.
