#2 Neymar - £600,000
Neymar made headlines in the summer of 2017 after moving to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona in a record deal worth £198m. The Brazilian purportedly earns £600,000-per-week, making him the second highest-paid footballer in the world in terms of wages.

Neymar is currently 18th on the Forbes list of highest-paid footballers and was named most marketable athlete by SportsPro in 2012 and 2013.
The former Santos star has begun his stint at Paris Saint-Germain in spectacular fashion, scoring 11 goals in 13 appearances for Les Parisiens. However, his first few months have been marred by problems in the dressing room, including a public disagreement with team-mate Edinson Cavani over penalty kicks. His lavish lifestyle has also drawn criticism in recent weeks, with PSG coach Unai Emery having to defend the striker.
