NAMPA/AFP
Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar remain the three best-paid footballers in the world, according to a study by France Football magazine.
The study estimates the income of the world's highest-paid players by adding their estimated gross salaries and income from image rights to bonuses earned last season.
Messi
As a result, the publication calculates Barcelona star Messi's total annual income as 131 million euros (about N$2.5 billion).
That puts the Argentine ahead of Ronaldo, with the Portuguese forward second on the list with 118 million euros (N$2.2 billion) of estimated income.
Neymar
Paris Saint-Germain's Brazilian star Neymar, who moved to France from Barcelona for a world record transfer fee in 2017, is third on the list with total pay of 95 million euros (N$1.8 billion), way ahead of Real Madrid's Gareth Bale.
The Welshman is fourth on the list with 38.7 million euros (N$733.5 million).
Simeone
Meanwhile, according to the magazine, Atletico Madrid's Diego Simeone is the best-paid coach with total wages of 40.5 million euros (N$767.4 million), way ahead of Antonio Conte at Inter Milan on 30 million euros (N$568.5 million) and Pep Guardiola at Manchester City on 27 million euros (N$511.6 million).
