Cristiano Ronaldo has demanded wages to equal arch-rival Lionel Messi

A complete shocker! Cristiano Ronaldo being one of the two dictators of the generation alongside Leo Messi has failed to breach even the top 5 of this list according to the figures displayed by Marca.

The Portuguese giant is currently serving his contract that is set to expire in 2021. As of now, he earns £18.5 million per year, according to the tabloid.

Ronaldo is currently undergoing the worst patch of his career, having scored only six league goals after returning from the five-match ban in September last year.

He has reportedly demanded the Madrid hierarchy to offer him a salary that equals Lionel Messi's figures at the Nou Camp. However, it remains to be seen whether Florentino Perez gives in to his talisman's demands despite his lacklustre performances for the club.
