#12 Mohamed Salah
Endorsements: $9M
Salary & Bonus: $16.1M
Total: $25.1M
Largest Sponsors/Partners: Adidas, Vodafone, EA Sports, AlexBank, DHL
Mohamed Salah has become one of the best players in the world at Liverpool and his incredible rise in the last two years reflects on his ranking in this list.
The Egyptian earns $16.1 million as salary and bonuses at Liverpool and that's the lowest figure on this list. However, because of his incredible popularity in Egypt and several other Arab speaking countries, he earns $9 million from endorsements and only Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar earn more from endorsements than him.
#11 Gareth Bale
Endorsements: $6.5M
Salary & Bonus: $20.6M
Total: $27.1M
Largest Sponsors/Partners: Adidas, Wish
Gareth Bale left the Premier League in 2013 for a then world-record fee after establishing himself as one of the best players in the world. He has gone on to have an amazing career at Real Madrid despite his injury woes.
In fact, he has scored the winning goal in two of Real Madrid's four Champions League triumphs since he joined the club and scored in the shootout in a third final.
Unsurprisingly, the Welshman earns $20.6 million as salary and bonuses at Real Madrid. It could also be one of the reasons why the Los Blancos have struggled to offload him this summer. He is also popular in Great Britain and that explains the $6.5 million he earns from endorsements.
#10 Antoine Griezmann
Endorsements: $4.5M
Salary & Bonus: $23.2M
Total: $27.7M
Largest Sponsors/Partners: Puma, Huawei
During the summer of 2018, Barcelona attempted to sign Antoine Griezmann but Atletico Madrid were desperate to keep their superstar and they made him one of the highest-paid players in the world. However, they lost him this summer to Barcelona and now, at the Catalan club, the world cup winner earns even more.
The 28-year-old's salary is more than Luis Suarez's and Barcelona will be hoping that he can perform as well as the Uruguayan. The early signs are good as Griezmann already has two goals and an assist in his first two appearances for the club.
#9 Oscar
Endorsements: $2M
Salary & Bonus: $27M
Total: $29M
Largest Sponsor/Partner: Adidas
Oscar is one of the few stars who moved to China in the prime of their career and one look at his salary tells you why he was convinced about the move.
The former Chelsea man's salary of $27 million is beaten only by six players in this list even though his overall earnings rank him ninth.
Since his move to China, he has played 113 games, scored 36 goals and won two trophies including the Chinese Super League in 2018.
