Times - 10 Highest paid players

[honourablegeorge]

Can't find it online, but it seems we have 2 of the 10 highest paid players in the world - Gerrard and Torres.

[honourablegeorge]

Found it. Torres earning more than Gerrard?

 

Four of the top ten earners in the world game play for Chelsea, according to France Football magazine’s annual estimates of player salaries. Kaká, of AC Milan, and Ronaldinho, of Barcelona — both Brazilians — head the list, followed by Frank Lampard and John Terry, of Chelsea, who are the highest-earning Englishmen. In addition to Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko, the other Chelsea representatives, three more Barclays Premier League players are in the top ten — Fernando Torres, Cristiano Ronaldo and Steven Gerrard. Ronaldo’s will improve once he has renegotiated his contract.

 

Top ten earners

 

Kaká (AC Milan) £6.6m

Ronaldinho (Barcelona) £6.31

F Lampard (Chelsea) £6.04

J Terry (Chelsea) £6.04

F Torres (Liverpool) £5.86

A Shevchenko (Chelsea) £5.77

M Ballack (Chelsea) £5.77

C Ronaldo (Man Utd) £5.69

T Henry (Barcelona) £5.69

S Gerrard (Liverpool) £5.69

I thought Torres took a paycut when he came to liverpool!

 

Voronin will be knocking on rafa's door now asking to be on the same money as torres

[Sion]

I doubt that's based on club salary alone, as Torres is on below 100k a week isn't he, Gerrard's probably above it.

[MFletcher]

I thought Ibrahimovich was on some extortionate salary at Inter?

 

I suspect those estimates aren't particularly accurate.

[honourablegeorge]

I doubt that's based on club salary alone, as Torres is on below 100k a week isn't he, Gerrard's probably above it.

 

 

I would have thought Torres was well below, aye. Always fairly dubious of these things.

[Guest Prongsy]

Torres is on 90k a week, Gerrard is on more - so it's not just club paid wages, if it is, then they are wrong.

Maybe he's on a goals related bonus scheme

[Romario]

Recoba was on about 100 million a day at Inter.

15. Sol Campbell?????

 

I was about to do a LOL smiley at that one.

 

Shurely Shome Mishtake?

[HL5]

Amazing! No wonder my brother, a senior cardiologist, has stopped following the beautiful game. He recently told me that whenever he watched football and noticed even the subs who never get picked, command salaries far far greater than he could imagine, he became disillusioned. He works literally round the clock saving people's lives everyday. I can see his point, but as I said to him sometimes life sucks. Then again, he is a Chelsea fan.

[Kahnee]

15. Sol Campbell?????

Don't underestimate the strength of the pink pound...

[Magic8Ball]

Don't underestimate the strength of the pink pound...

Sol's married to a redhead - she's also an interior designer

[fyds]

I doubt that's based on club salary alone, as Torres is on below 100k a week isn't he, Gerrard's probably above it.

I'm sure you're right - this will no doubtv include sponsorships, advertising etc.

[Cobs]

It's c***ing guesswork in a french footy magazine ffs !!!!!!!!

[Duncan Disorderly]

Don't underestimate the strength of the pink pound...

[Bo Benn]

Not a bad earning for particularly C.Ronaldo and Torres as they are quite a bit younger than the other top names

[Dominus Maximus]

Can't find it online, but it seems we have 2 of the 10 highest paid players in the world - Gerrard and Torres.

 

Worth it...

It's c***ing guesswork in a french footy magazine ffs !!!!!!!!

or maybe the figures aren't quite as up to date as the clubs the individuals play for. it's probably for the last completed financial year or similar.

[honourablegeorge]

Doubt that, look where Beckham is.

[Cobs]

or maybe the figures aren't quite as up to date as the clubs the individuals play for. it's probably for the last completed financial year or similar.

but where are individual players salaries (Riise's excepted) publicly available?
