Messi Set To Earn £532,000 Per Day With Potential Saudi Arabia Contract To Exceed Ronaldo Wages

However, Messi’s potential earnings would dwarf Ronaldo’s, with reports indicating that he is most likely to join Al Hilal in Riyadh.

Messi’s father, Jorge, was recently in Saudi Arabia, sparking speculation that the Argentine World Cup winner could move there when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) expires at the end of the season.

If Messi accepts the reported contract offer, he would earn £16.17 million per month, or an astounding £532,000 per day, which breaks down to £2,000 per hour, £369 per minute, and £6.15 per second.

However, this is £70 million less than Ronaldo’s current yearly contract.

Messi’s PSG teammate, Neymar, earned £78.5 million in 2022, while Mohamed Salah was the next highest-paid footballer with £37 million.
