Mohamed Salah continues to earn more at Liverpool than Sadio Mane despite Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr paying the latter much higher wages than the Reds ever did

Sadio Mane is one of the ten highest-paid players in the world for the second straight year

Sadio Mane is still in Mohamed Salah's shadow despite leaving Liverpool for Bayern Munich and playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo for the Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr.

His current colleague remains the highest-paid player in the world for a second straight year.

At Al Ittihad and Al Hilal, respectively, Karim Benzema and Neymar complete the quartet.

However, Mane makes less than half what his contemporaries in the league make.

According to Forbes, Ronaldo leads the way with an exorbitant £169million annual salary, which rises to £219m when including his earnings away from the pitch.

Neymar is next, making £62m from his employers despite playing just five times for them and another £23m from his various sponsorships.

Benzema comes in close behind, being paid £77m by his club but earning barely £3m from elsewhere.

Mbappe, Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo are the only players ahead of Salah.

Overall, he is the eighth highest-paid footballer in the world, not even £1million ahead of Mane.

However, both are down from last year, with Vinicius moving ahead of both after rising from outside the top ten into seventh.

Real Madrid pays the player £31m per year, and brand deals with PlayStation and Pepsi help him earn £12 million.
