Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new contract with Real Madrid that will keep him with the club until 2021. This deal makes Ronaldo the highest-paid player in Europe’s top five leagues, and the fifth-highest paid player in football.
This record was previously held by Lionel Messi, who earned an annual salary of $365 million from Barcelona and Argentina. Ronaldo’s new deal puts him behind only Neymar, Messi, James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale in terms of salary.
