#2 Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain)
Paris Saint-Germain broke the world transfer record when they snatched Neymar from Barcelona's clutches for £198 million last summer. Considering the avalanche fee they paid for him, it is but natural to see him amongst the top three highest earners in the game right now.
According to his latest contract, Neymar will earn £31.7 million annually at the Parc Des Princes.
Following his move to the French champions, Neymar has shrugged off the pressure of his world record move and is running riot in France at present. He has 24 goals and 14 assists in just 23 appearances, justifying each and every penny PSG forked out to land him.
Should his dazzling performances continue, why, the Selecao skipper might as well break the Ronaldo-Messi duopoly at the Ballon d'Or ceremony this year.
