Cristiano Ronaldo has replaced Lionel Messi as the highest-paid footballer in the world, according to latest rankings released by Forbes.

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to make $125m (£91.63m) before taxes in the 2021-22 season after moving back to Manchester United, with $70m (£51.31m) coming from his salary and bonuses at Old Trafford, according to Forbes., while Lionel Messi is set to earn $110m (£80.63) this season after joining Paris Saint-Germain.

The 36-year-old is set to earn an estimated $55m (£40.31m) from commercial deals, with only three athletes set to earn more from sponsorship; Roger Federer ($90m, £65.97m), LeBron James ($65m, £47.64m) and Tiger Woods ($60m, £43.98m).

Messi, who topped last year's rankings, falls to second despite sealing a lucrative move to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

Forbes claim the former Barcelona star will earn $110m (£80.63m) this season, with $75m (£50m) of that figure coming from his salary and bonuses at the Parc des Princes.

Meanwhile, Messi's club team-mates Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are third and fourth on the list respectively.

Neymar is set to earn $95m (£69.68m) in the 2021-22 season, while Mbappe is some way behind the Brazilian with expected earnings of $43m (£31.54m).

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is fifth in the rankings with expected earnings of $41m (£30.6m), while Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski is sixth with $35m (£25.66m).
Perhaps a surprise inclusion on the list is former Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta, who is ranked seventh with earnings of $35m (£25.66m) - the bulk of which comes from his salary and bonuses at Japanese club Vissel Kobe.

Eighth on the list is Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, who is set to make $34m (£24.92m), while Real Madrid's Gareth Bale is the highest-ranked British player in ninth with expected earnings of $32m (£23.46m).

Another Real Madrid player rounds off the top 10, former Chelsea winger Eden Hazard, who is set to earn $29m (£21.26m) in the 2021-22 campaign.

Akuko! See consolation.
If at 36+ Ronaldo is still earning more than your 34yr old 7th balloon boy in the same career then he should hide himself.

Ororo

Na today.

This was exactly how Forbes rated Ronaldo to be the first football to earn an accumulated billion dollars over his career.

At the end we found out that just three years of Messi salary from 2018 to 2021 ($600+ million) was more than Ronaldo total Networth of $500+ million dollars.

So we clearly know who the bigger man is. I won't be shocked if Messi is a billionaire sef because if you earn more than half a billion in Three years then you must have earned thrice that figure in 18 years.

Ronaldo can keep declaring its assets while Messi keep mum on his. Messi is like Putin of Russia. will always smile because when others talk about money he knows he is the boss.

From the breakdown sef, Messi earns higher in football than RONALDO and has maintained that gap since 2009. It was even closer this time as he only beat Ronaldo with 5 million pounds.

LMFAO
I see ignorance from pendu fans everywhere.

Messi earns higher on the pitch than Ronaldo, Ronaldo only has more endorsement that's why.

No be small ignorance. Ronaldo fans don't read. They are intristically dull and make up the bigger population of people who voted Buhari and think the Vaccine is the Antichrist. I have been unfortunate to hear most of them talk and even being a Man United fan, I feel ashamed because they are mostly from my club.
