6) Robert Lewandowski
The Polish goal machine has been in incredible form in recent years, and while he is ranked sixth on this list, earning $35m, there is an expectation that he will leave Bayern Munich either next year or at the end of his contract in 2023. That could lead to a substantial increase in his wages.
5) Mohamed Salah
Liverpool’s number 11 is currently earning $41m when you combine both his wages and sponsorship income, but with two years remaining on his current deal, he is said to be demanding a sizeable pay rise to stay at Anfield.
