Ronaldo to become 'highest paid-player' in Premier League history

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to become the highest-paid player in Premier League history after completing his move to Man United, according to The Telegraph.

The Portuguese star is said to be set to earn in the excess of the £560,000-a-week that Alexis Sanchez used to earn at Old Trafford.

However, this includes the money for his ‘image rights’ as well as bonuses.

Ronaldo’s wages will, however, be substantially lower than the reported £1m-a-week Lionel Messi earns at PSG.

That being said, the Daily Mail claims that Cristiano took a pay cut in order to join United and his basic salary will be around £380,000-a-week, as compared to £500,000-a-week which he got at Juventus.
