Analysts at the US sports business website looked at the highest-paid players across world football through a combination of both their weekly wage and also the value of the commercial endorsement deals that they had in place, as per @Liverpool FC News

Salah's new deal - reported to be around £350,000 per week - and revenues from endorsements with the likes of Vodafone, Adidas, Pepsi and Uber mean that he is expected to receive £34.8m [$39.5m] over the course of the 2022-23 season, as per @Liverpool FC News

Ahead of Mo Salah in the list is Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and PSG trio, Neymar, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, as per @Liverpool FC News
