Cristiano Ronaldo has signed the biggest deal to date in soccer. He will be joining the Saudi Arabian club on a $214 million per year, making him the highest-paid athlete. The contract is such enormous that fans were certain to draw comparisons. 

With all details emerging, fans have reacted in their way on social media over the contract. They have dragged other superstars like Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe while comparing their salaries. 

Fans drew comparisons between the salaries of Cristiano Ronaldo and other soccer stars

Fans are amazed at Ronaldo getting such astonishing sums at the twilight of his career, and that too in Saudi Arabia. It’s evident that Ronaldo tops the list of salaries for soccer stars, but what makes the comparison interesting is the total amount of wages the latter four players on the list get.

A fan replying to the tweet stating the list of the top five highest earners wrote, “Is Ronaldo going to join the LIV golf tour too?” Others were quick to point out that Ronaldo alone earns $42 million more than the latter four (Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Andres Iniesta) combined.
