Football clubs across the globe are ready to offer the highest possible salaries to lure top talents. Since these contracts often feature a number of clauses and bonuses, the exact figures players take home is quite difficult to track.
Still, after a meticulous effort, here is the list of the highest paid footballers in Europe in 2025. Grab some coke and popcorn as the list is full of surprises and big numbers. If you assumed Cristiano Ronaldo as the top entry, I’m sorry but this list includes players at European clubs only.
Brazilian footballer Vinicius Junior has made his name into one of the best footballers at Real Madrid. Since his debut at the age of 18, he has scored more than hundred goals in nearly 300 appearances. Isn’t it incredible?
Vinicius Junior is a remarkable name on the football field. But he is also popular among brands, such as Pepsi and PlayStation. His annual income is reported to exceed 42 million pounds, easily placing him on the list of highest paid football players in Europe.
Make some noise for Erling Haaland. The Manchester City star has taken the Premier League by storm using his incredible goal-scoring ability. He is recognised for his speed, strength and clinical finishing. You should see him on the field.
Erling Haaland is a nightmare for defenders. He has made a number of goals in Premier League matches. His performance at UEFA Champions League can also not be kept underrated. His commercial endorsements are increasing and he possibly makes £46 million per year.
Broadly regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation, Kylian Mbappe is a dynamic player at Real Madrid. He is recognised for his speed, strength and determination. Just recently, he inherited the iconic Number 10 jersey from Luka Modric.
If reports are to be taken into consideration, Kylian Mbappe makes at least 70 million pounds in a year, making him the highest paid footballer in Europe in 2025. His exceptional talent and global popularity justify his terrific salary.
Please note: These numbers are clearly estimates and are based on undisclosed contract details, bonuses and endorsement deals.
