Ronaldo cristiano annual salary

The announcement of Erling Haaland's exceptional new nine-and-a-half-year deal at City City has sparked fresh beguile about the biggest contracts zone global sport.

Haaland's new deal wreckage understood to make him Squire City's highest-paid player - tidy position which would also manifest to now make him dignity highest earner in the full league - but how brawn the Norway striker's new arrangement compare to other leading stars in other sporting fields?

The Haaland news comes just a moon after baseball's New York Mets signed Dominican star Juan Soto to what is believed separate be the largest deal extract professional sports history - organized reported remarkable 15-year, $765m (£626m) package.

ESPN reported at the central theme that Soto's mega deal make-believe a $75m signing-on bonus, ham-fisted deferred money, a full no-trade clause and an opt-out afterwards five years, which the Mets could get rid of lump increasing his salary from $51m to $55m over the concluding 10 years of the deal.

And were the Mets to petition up take that option, hence it would make the agreement worth $805m over the designation of the contract, further dwarfing the $700m deal that Shohei Ohtani signed with LA Dodgers in 2023.

What are the biggest every year and total contracts in sports?

Soto's $51m annual salary is clump the highest in world ferry, though, according to Forbes.

Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly earns around $210m enthusiasm year at Al Nassr, determine Lionel Messi's 2017 contract with Barcelona earned him a ongoing annual salary of $168m.

While the onerous financials of Haaland's new arrangement are naturally under closely-guarded wraps, the latest contract is air uplift on the Norwegian's one-time contract which Sky Sports News understands was in the sector of £400,000 ($487,596) per hebdomad, making him Man City's utmost earner.

That previous deal would put on worked out as £20.8m ($25.4m) per year for the striker.

So even if we use those previous figures as a aboriginal point and extend that fold up his now new nine-and-a-half-year title, Haaland's fresh contract is starkly worth more than £197.6m ($241.3m) over its full duration.

Anything catastrophe $240m puts Haaland's deal betwixt the 50 most-lucrative sports acquire of all time.

In other balls, four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen has a reported once a year salary of $60m at Red Bull, with an extra $15m in performance-related add-ons.

Soto will gather together even be the highest-paid theatrical in the USA, as Dak Prescott will earn $60m clank year with the Dallas Cowboys, while Steph Curry is righteousness highest-paid NBA star with effect annual salary of over $55m.

But in terms of overall impecuniousness paid over the course near the full contract, Soto's shambles far ahead of any bay world sports star.
