Highest paid players in the world
Palmer's salary numbers almost appear child-like when compared to the highest paid players in the world. The list is majorly dominated by former stars of Europe who have flocked to the Saudi Premier League.
One of the greatest forwards to ever grace the sport, Cristiano Ronaldo sits at the top of the list as the top-earner across the world, playing for SPL side Al Nassr.
Following him on the list is his former Real Madrid compatriot in Karim Benzema who plays for Al Ittihad.
Meanwhile, Riyad Mahrez comes in at third, followed by Senegalese internationals Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly at fourth and fifth spot.
