- Cristiano Ronaldo has dropped from the football's top 5 earners in the world

- Barcelona forward Lionel Messi occupies first position thanks to his recent deal

- Former Manchester United star Carlos Tevez occupies second position on the list

Despite winning the last two editions of the FIFA Ballon d'Or, Real Madrid and Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo has dropped out of football’s top five earners.

The former Sporting Lisbon winger could fall even further down should his ex club Manchester United announce the signing of Chilean star Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal.

Lionel Messi is top of the list after signing a £780,000-a-week massive new Barcelona contract and leaving his rival on the breadline.

Former Manchester United and City striker Carlos Tevez is sitting on £650,000 every seven days during his disastrous spell where he downed tools and upped his weight and sit second on the list.

PSG star Neymar may have accepted a drop in standards when he swapped La Liga for Ligue 1 but he boosted his bank balance with a jump up to around £609,000-a-week to sit third.

Former Chelsea star Oscar occupies fourth position after his impressive move to the Chinese League as he earns £400,000 weekly, while Ezequiel Lavezzi finishes off the top five with a paltry £388,000 a week sliding into his account.

Ronaldo comes into the picture in sixth place with his weekly take-home of £355,000 at Real Madrid.

Ronaldo has reportedly complained that he wants a pay rise at Spanish club Real Madrid which will bring him level with Barcelona star Lionel Messi.
