His intention is to bring a new striker so that he can use former Arsenal captain&amp;nbsp;Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang more in the wing position.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/with-haaland-and-lewandowski-all-but-ruled-out-barcelona-seek-an-almost-impossible-new-target-20220429-0019.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Erling Haaland&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-rumors-xavi-to-let-3-players-leave-to-make-room-for-robert-lewandowski-20220412-0043.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Robert Lewandowski&lt;/a&gt; were recently mentioned as possible options. However, the Blaugrana's quest for a new offensive player&amp;nbsp;has also been hindered by the impending move of&amp;nbsp;the &lt;strong&gt;Norwegian to Manchester City&lt;/strong&gt;,&amp;nbsp;and Bayern Munich's reluctance &lt;strong&gt;to sell the Pole.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Thus, Spanish journalist Jose Alvarez revealed on the &lt;em&gt;Chiringito&amp;nbsp;TV show&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;that Barcelona are looking into&amp;nbsp;bringing &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/what-do-aubameyang-messi-and-suarez-have-in-common-20220414-0017.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Luis Suarez&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; back to their&amp;nbsp;ranks.&amp;nbsp;The Uruguayan left Barca in tears in the summer of 2020 and joined rivals &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/atletico-madrid-luis-suarez-open-talks-with-2-unexpected-clubs-report-20220407-0018.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Atletico Madrid&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; on a free transfer. It ultimately proved to be a top-notch deal as he lead them&amp;nbsp;to the 2020-21 La Liga title at the end of the season.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Barcelona to lure&amp;nbsp;Luis Suarez back?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;While many Spanish outlets have already linked him to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-suarez-busquets-to-reunite-in-mls-20220226-0005.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MLS&lt;/a&gt; and the Turkish Super League, Suarez is ready for an unexpected transfer to Barcelona. It is said that Atletico &lt;strong&gt;aren't&amp;nbsp;willing to&amp;nbsp;offer him a new contract&lt;/strong&gt;, and he will leave the&amp;nbsp;Wanda Metropolitano as a free agent.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The report adds that&amp;nbsp;the veteran ace is&amp;nbsp;willing to take a pay cut in order to facilitate a&amp;nbsp;Camp Nou comeback. At the moment, he earns &euro;6.5 million per year at Atletico Madrid. In addition, he&amp;nbsp;reportedly already spoken to Barcelona coach Xavi.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Following the example of Gerard Pique, Cesc Fabregas, and Hristo Stoichkov&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Should Suarez return to Barcelona he will join various other players who have made their comeback to the La Liga giants in their careers.&amp;nbsp;For example, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/remember-the-glory-days-reminiscing-on-life-at-fc-barcelona-pre-lionel-messi-20210915-0011.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hristo Stoichkov&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is&amp;nbsp;regarded as one of the most illustrious members of the club's Johan Cruyff period legends. Parma offered him a one-year contract after his departure from Barcelona after spending five seasons at Camp Nou. A year later, the&amp;nbsp;Bulgarian striker returned for two more years before retiring.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Another example is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-joins-psg-13-superstars-who-have-left-barcelona-on-bad-terms-20210811-0011.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Cesc Fabregas&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;who grew up playing with &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-how-many-champions-league-titles-has-he-won-20210913-0023.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt;, and he was one of the many Barca&amp;nbsp;youngsters who was enchanted with the Premier League. When he was a teenager, Arsene Wenger convinced him that he would be a star in England at a very young age.&amp;nbsp;It wasn't until 2011 that Fabregas made his long-awaited return to Barcelona, and he wasn't very impressed. Moreover, he&amp;nbsp;never achieved the stardom he aspired to at the club where he grew up, despite winning La Liga with Barcelona.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;However, the team's greatest comeback story is that of&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-ronaldo-neymar-and-17-of-your-favorite-soccer-players-salaries-20211223-0013.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Gerard Pique&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;At Manchester United, the Spanish defender won the Champions League in 2008 thanks to Sir Alex Ferguson's charm.&amp;nbsp;That summer, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/pep-guardiola-how-many-champions-league-titles-has-he-won-as-a-coach-manchester-city-barcelona-20210506-0021.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Pep Guardiola&lt;/a&gt; welcomed him back, and since then, the veteran&amp;nbsp;has gone on to become one of the greatest and most successful players in the club's&amp;nbsp;history, winning a total of&amp;nbsp;30 trophies in the Blaugrana jersey.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There were still four matches to go until &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-manchester-united-opted-for-erik-ten-hag-rather-than-mauricio-pochettino-20220422-0014.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Mauricio Pochettino&lt;/a&gt;'s team won the championship back from Lille after their unexpected victory in the 2020-21 season's final round. After two decades in Spain, the 34-year-old Argentine&amp;nbsp;required some time to adjust to the French division, but he still contributed four goals and 13 assists.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;This was the 39th title in&amp;nbsp;the forward's career. He won the great majority of them while playing for &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-how-many-champions-league-titles-has-he-won-20210913-0023.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barcelona&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;,&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;35 in all (2004-2021). For the Argentina national team, he won three championships; while the most recent club one came while playing for Paris Saint-Germain in France's Ligue 1.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Messi's trophy list compared to&amp;nbsp;other active players&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Let's compare those numbers to other active superstars, such as his former teammates at Barcelona, Gerard Pique,&amp;nbsp;Sergio&amp;nbsp;Busquets, and Luis Suarez, as well as his former La Liga rival and current PSG teammate, Sergio&amp;nbsp;Ramos. You can also find out&amp;nbsp;the comparison with some ex-Real Madrid players, like&amp;nbsp;Cristiano Ronaldo,&amp;nbsp;Gareth Bale, and Karim Benzema.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;Sergio&amp;nbsp;Ramos - 26&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Messi and Ramos playing in the same team, who would have ever thought? Real Madrid will never be the same without &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/what-dobenzema-ramos-and-aguerohave-in-common-20220421-0015.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sergio Ramos&lt;/a&gt;. When he was captain, he led the club to 22 major championships, 10 of which he won. In-depth information about each award's recipients is provided below: Five titles in La Liga, four in the Supercopa de Espanol, and three in the UEFA Champions League: In addition to the 2021-22 French Ligue 1 title, the defender can also boast of winning the FIFA World Cup once, and the UEFA Euro twice, tallying a total of &lt;strong&gt;26 titles.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;Gerard Pique - 37&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;For the last seven years, Leo's pal, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-ronaldo-neymar-and-17-of-your-favorite-soccer-players-salaries-20211223-0013.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Pique&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has been an integral element of Barcelona's defense and helped the team achieve their&amp;nbsp;greatest success ever. It's hard to believe that in more than 600 games for the Blaugrana, he's amassed an incredible 400 wins and&lt;strong&gt; 30 trophies&lt;/strong&gt; for the club, including eight league crowns and three UEFA Champions Leagues. Overall, he has also achieved four titles while wearing the jersey of Mancehster United, in addition to becoming the 2010 World Cup winner, and the 2012 Euro champion.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo - 34&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;When he was only 17 years old, Messi's all-time greatest rival, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/cristiano-Ronaldo-and-lionel-Messi-to-meet-in-2020-21-uefa-champions-league-after-group-stage-draw-20201001-0017.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Ronaldo&lt;/a&gt;, was part of the Sporting Lisbon team that won the Portuguese Super Cup, his first taste of a trophy. He won three Premier League titles, the FA Cup, two League Cups, two Community Shields, and the Club World Cup with Manchester United. While with the Red Devils in 2008, he won his first Champions League trophy. Aside from winning three consecutive Champions Leagues from 2016 to 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo has won four more throughout his time at Real Madrid.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Additionally, he won the La Liga title twice, two Spanish Cups, the two Spanish Super Cups, the three Club World Cups, and the UEFA Super Cup three times. In his first season with Juventus, Ronaldo won the Italian Super Cup and the Serie A championship, adding to his collection of trophies already amassed while at Real Madrid. He went on to win both championships, as well as the Italian Cup, in the ensuing year. In his career, Ronaldo has collected &lt;strong&gt;34&amp;nbsp;trophies.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;Gareth Bale - 18&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;After his time at Barcelona's rivals, Real Madrid, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/a-player-who-rides-the-bench-makes-more-than-cristiano-ronaldo-and-kylian-mbappe-20220331-0010.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Gareth Bale&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;was&amp;nbsp;considered one of the world's top players.&amp;nbsp;At 32, he would be one of the Whites'&amp;nbsp;most decorated players, having signed from Tottenham in the summer of 2013 for a cost of &euro;100 million. He is expected to leave the Spanish capital in the summer with four Champions Leagues, three Club World Cups, two La Liga titles, two Spanish Super Cups, the Copa del Rey, and the&amp;nbsp;Supercopa de Espa&ntilde;a. The veteran has also won the English league cup in his career with Tottenham, to reach his career overall of &lt;strong&gt;18 titles.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;Sergio&amp;nbsp;Busquets - 34&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/aguero-messi-and-all-the-players-who-left-barcelona-in-2021-20211215-0003.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Busquets&lt;/a&gt; inherited the captain's armband from Lionel Messi after the latter left on a free transfer to join PSG last summer. The midfield veteran will have to go through this season trophy-less, but in total, he is one of the players whose record is very close to Lionel Messi's with &lt;strong&gt;34 trophies&lt;/strong&gt; won. He&amp;nbsp;has played more than 450 games for Barcelona in various competitions. Having him in the squad, the club has won 6 La Liga titles, 3 UEFA Champions League titles, 3 UEFA Super Cups, and also 3 FIFA Club World Cup titles. He was also present in the Spanish team that won the 2010 World Cup.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;Luis Suarez - 19&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Seven league championships and a Champions League at the club level, as well as the 2011 Copa America with Uruguay, are among Messi's former Barca teammate,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-soccer-players-often-refuse-to-step-on-clubs-crest-20220408-0036.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Luis Suarez&lt;/a&gt;'s &lt;strong&gt;19 major accolades&lt;/strong&gt; to his name. The Uruguayan striker's illustrious European career, which has included stops at Groningen, Ajax, and Barcelona, requires no introduction. He has six La Liga crowns, a Champions League trophy, and four Copa Del Reys to his credit.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;Karim Benzema - 30&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;With 20 trophies with Real Madrid to his name, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/italian-third-division-player-has-more-goals-than-lewandowski-benzema-mbappe-in-2022-20220408-0002.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Benzema&lt;/a&gt; is the most decorated player in the history of Barcelona's nemesis, having won four Champions League, as well as four Club World Cups, three&amp;nbsp;La Ligas, and three European Super Cups. His four Spanish Supercup wins, and two Copa del Rey titles are also added to the list. At&amp;nbsp;Lyon, he managed to lift the Ligue 1 trophy four times, as well as the French Supercup four times, and the French Cup once. He has added the 2021 UEFA Nations League trophy&amp;nbsp;to his remarkable cabinet of &lt;strong&gt;30 trophies.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

How many titles does Messi have compared to other active players like Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Ramos, and Benzema?

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/cristiano-ronaldo-t2&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;are two of the biggest earners in any sport, but how much does &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/neymar-t25325&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Neymar&lt;/a&gt; or Erling Haaland make? It is an answer that requires a lot of research as sometimes the information is not public knowledge.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nonetheless star &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer-t81579&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;soccer&lt;/a&gt; players are not complaining about the light bill at the end of the month, the top soccer players in the world are all earning well over $5 million a year.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Here is a list of 20 of the biggest names in the sport and their projected salaries for the season. The information has been pulled from various sources. &lt;strong&gt;Here are the yearly earnings of 20 of the top soccer players in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/15-soccer-rivalries-you-must-go-to-at-least-once-in-your-life--20211223-0009.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;world&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&amp;nbsp;This list includes only salaries of current contracts and not endorsement deals.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Antonio Rudiger - $6.9 Million&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Antonio Rudiger&lt;/strong&gt; is one of the best defenders in the World, and will soon be a free agent, if his play has indicated anything, is that Rudiger can still land a better deal, he is a rock for Chelsea.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Zlatan Ibrahimovi&#263; - $8.4 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now at AC Milan, &lt;strong&gt;Zlatan Ibrahimovi&#263;&lt;/strong&gt; is still going strong, and it has been reported by Sports Illustrated that he makes $8.4 million at the Milan club. Zlatan still scores goals and shows no signs of slowing down.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Erling Haaland - $9 Million&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Norwegian goal machine &lt;strong&gt;Erling Haaland&lt;/strong&gt; is reportedly earning $9 million in Germany but that will change drastically when he is sold. Manchester City, Real Madrid will surely make him one of the best paid players in the world if those rumors come true.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Sergio Ramos - $11.3 Million&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Real Madrid striker &lt;strong&gt;Karim Benzema&lt;/strong&gt; has delivered goals at Real Madrid, Benzema has scored over 200 goals in his time at the club. At 33 there is still a lot of Karim Benzema to come.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Harry Kane - $13.9 Million&lt;/h2&gt;

 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Spurs forward &lt;strong&gt;Harry Kane&lt;/strong&gt; is a Tottenham legend and earns a reported $13.9 million. Kane has been the subject of various transfer rumors, but it looks doubtful he will leave Spurs.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Mohamed Salah - $13.9 Million&lt;/h2&gt;

 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Liverpool forward &lt;strong&gt;Mohamed Salah&lt;/strong&gt; is considered to be the best soccer player in the world at the moment. Salah is a goal scoring machine and could be seen as widely underpaid for the output he has had for The Reds.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Thomas M&uuml;ller - $17.4 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thomas M&uuml;ller&lt;/strong&gt; recently signed a new deal with Bayern Munich, and it is reported that the standout player earns $335,000 a week.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Manuel Neuer - $20 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;To many the best goalkeeper of his generation, Bayern Munich star &lt;strong&gt;Manuel Neuer&lt;/strong&gt; is earning a reported 20 million dollars per season. Neuer is still in top form and now in his 11th season at Bayern.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Paul Pogba - $20.2 Million&lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paul Pogba&lt;/strong&gt; is one of the Premier League&rsquo;s highest earners and is reportedly on over a $20 million a year wage. Pogba may have to take a pay cut if he leaves Manchester United, but the French World champion has earned his keep.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Gerard Piqu&eacute; - $21 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;As shocking as it may seem, &lt;strong&gt;Gerard Piqu&eacute;&lt;/strong&gt; took a 50 percent pay cut to help club Barcelona fine tune its finances. That pay cut now reportedly is 21 million dollars in salary per year.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Robert Lewandowski - $22.6 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;According to BILD, &lt;strong&gt;Robert Lewandowski &lt;/strong&gt;is earning the maximum salary of $22.6 million at Bayern Munich. Lewandowski has had an excellent past two seasons and at 33 the Polish star is still going for more.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Philippe Coutinho - $22.6 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Philippe Coutinho&lt;/strong&gt; is Barcelona&rsquo;s highest paid player, according to AS the midfielder is at $22.6 million a year. Coutinho is extremely talented and just has not been able to showcase his skill&amp;nbsp;at Barcelona.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Romelu Lukaku - $22.9 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

  &lt;figcaption&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Chelsea&rsquo;s star forward &lt;strong&gt;Romelu Lukaku&lt;/strong&gt; has returned to the Premier League and at Chelsea for a cool $22.9 million. Lukaku has yet to take off, but there is no question he is a good forward.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Kylian Mbapp&eacute; - $24.9 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt;

  &lt;figcaption&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kylian Mbapp&eacute;&lt;/strong&gt; earns just under $25 million at PSG but once his deal ends in France he will get a huge pay hike if he signs with Real Madrid. Kylian Mbapp&eacute; is a talented soccer player and to many the next face of the sport in the post Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo world.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Eden Hazard - $26 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt;

  &lt;figcaption&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Real Madrid&rsquo;s often injured star &lt;strong&gt;Eden Hazard&lt;/strong&gt; earns over $25 million at the club. The return has been less than what has been expected. To Hazard&rsquo;s credit he is trying to make it work at Madrid vetoing various transfer rumors.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Kevin De Bruyne - $27.8 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;img data-height=&quot;412&quot; data-width=&quot;740&quot; data-size=&quot;w:740,h:412&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;/__export/1640286050150/sites/bolavip/img/2021/12/23/kevin_de_bruyne_crop1640286049509.jpg_22069893.jpg&quot; width=&quot;740&quot; height=&quot;412&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;figcaption&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Manchester City&rsquo;s &lt;strong&gt;Kevin De Bruyne&lt;/strong&gt; is one of the best midfielders in the world with his leadership and vision. At under $28 million, De Bruyne is City&rsquo;s highest paid player and well worth it. The game goes through De Bruyne.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Cristiano Ronaldo - $35.5 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;img data-height=&quot;412&quot; data-width=&quot;740&quot; data-size=&quot;w:740,h:412&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;/__export/1640285977147/sites/bolavip/img/2021/12/23/cristiano_ronaldo_1_crop1640285976714.jpg_22069893.jpg&quot; width=&quot;740&quot; height=&quot;412&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;figcaption&gt;
    Cristiano Ronaldo (Photo by Alex Pantling/Getty Images) 
  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The great Portuguese star is back at the club that elevated him to global fame, Manchester United. Now at the tail end of his career, &lt;strong&gt;CR7&lt;/strong&gt; is raking in a cool $35.5 million this season and oh by the way, still scoring goals.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Lionel Messi - $41 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;img data-height=&quot;412&quot; data-width=&quot;740&quot; data-size=&quot;w:740,h:412&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;/__export/1640285859746/sites/bolavip/img/2021/12/23/lionel_messi_crop1640285856203.jpg_22069893.jpg&quot; width=&quot;740&quot; height=&quot;412&quot;&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Argentine GOAT will earn a whopping $41 million from PSG for the 2021/22 season. &lt;strong&gt;Messi&lt;/strong&gt; is well deserving of his salary given that he is the face of Soccer. There was a before and after in soccer until Messi arrived.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Neymar - $41.6 Million&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Brazilian superstar &lt;strong&gt;Neymar&lt;/strong&gt; earns $41.6 million in salary at PSG, now in his fifth season at PSG, Neymar has been highlight reel material but has yet to win the big prize in Paris&hellip; the Champions League.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar and 17 of your favorite soccer players salaries

&lt;p&gt;Many veteran players had to leave &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barcelona&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; over the last few years as it seemed inevitable &lt;strong&gt;the club needed rebuild&lt;/strong&gt;. But &lt;strong&gt;Gerard Pique&lt;/strong&gt; was one of the few to have &lt;strong&gt;survived to the clearout&lt;/strong&gt;, staying to lead the team's resurrection.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The experienced defender has spent a lifetime with Los Cules, having briefly left Camp Nou&amp;nbsp;for &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/manchester-united-t10&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manchester United&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; before he returned and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;built&amp;nbsp;a legacy donning the Blaugrana&lt;/strong&gt;. He may have responsibility for the team's failures over the last few years as well, &lt;strong&gt;but that's another story&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Pique has become a leader in Barcelona's locker room and, therefore, he&amp;nbsp;tried to play an important role to convince players to join the club or stay at it, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-when-did-neymar-leave-the-club-to-join-psg-20210806-0022.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;although that didn't work with Neymar&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Recently, the 34-year-old admitted he spoke to a current &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; player, who'll he face &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-vs-real-madrid-when-will-el-clasico-be-played-for-la-liga-2021-22-20211014-0022.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;this weekend&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in a game to be broadcast in the US by &lt;a href=&quot;https://go.web.plus.espn.com/c/2743850/1161082/9070&quot; rel=&quot;sponsored,nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ESPN+&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;when he was about to join&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/el-clasico-all-time-top-goalscorer-20211017-0013.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Barcelona&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Gerard Pique admits a&amp;nbsp;Real Madrid player&amp;nbsp;was on the verge of joining Barcelona&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;It's no secret that Barcelona's transfer business over the last few years &lt;strong&gt;has been quite poor&lt;/strong&gt;, as many of their signings failed to impress and had to find a new team shortly after. But what if they had a current Real Madrid star on their ranks?&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Well, &lt;strong&gt;Los Blancos seem to have stolen a player from Los Cules'&amp;nbsp;noses not long ago&lt;/strong&gt;. Talking to Spanish famous streamer &lt;strong&gt;Ibai&lt;/strong&gt;, Gerard Pique revealed that &lt;strong&gt;Vinicius Junior's&amp;nbsp;arrival at Barcelona was all but done until &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/el-clasico-most-wins-of-all-time-20211017-0014.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/a&gt; made him change his mind&lt;/strong&gt; with a late, lucrative offer.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Do you know he almost signed for Barca?&quot;,&lt;/em&gt; Pique asked the streamer&amp;nbsp;on Monday. &lt;em&gt;&quot;(Real Madrid) offered him double. &lt;strong&gt;I spoke to him &lt;/strong&gt;before he went to Madrid, and he&amp;nbsp;admitted &lt;strong&gt;it was done with Barca. It was done.&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;I don't remember why (I spoke to him), it was to welcome him into the dressing room,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; Pique said. &lt;em&gt;&quot;It was done. Madrid &lt;strong&gt;arrived at the last second and offered him everything&lt;/strong&gt;.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, Los Cules' former scout in South America &lt;strong&gt;Andre Cury&lt;/strong&gt; said the Blaugrana and Vinicius &lt;strong&gt;had an agreement but his agents ultimately&amp;nbsp;'betrayed' the club&lt;/strong&gt;. Now, Pique confirmed he was well aware he could have been teammate &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/el-clasico-2021-when-did-the-rivalry-between-fc-barcelona-and-real-madrid-start-20211018-0014.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;with the rivals&lt;/a&gt;' sensational winger.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;However, that move has never materialized and they have never shared a locker room. And on Sunday that won't even matter, as &lt;strong&gt;the only thing they'll care about is who's getting the upper hand&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/who-is-more-successful-barcelona-or-real-madrid-20211017-0016.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;El Clasico&lt;/a&gt;, which will be broadcast by &lt;a href=&quot;https://go.web.plus.espn.com/c/2743850/1161082/9070&quot; rel=&quot;sponsored,nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ESPN+&lt;/a&gt; in the US.&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Gerard Pique reveals which Real Madrid star came close to joining Barcelona

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lionel &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Messi&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;'s departure&amp;nbsp;from &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barcelona&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is a reality, the Argentine star has already joined &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/psg-t16721&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PSG&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and will play away from Camp Nou &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/how-long-has-lionel-messi-played-for-barcelona-20210805-0018.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;for the first time&lt;/a&gt; in his career. His legendary &lt;strong&gt;number 10 jersey&lt;/strong&gt; is now untaken, and &lt;strong&gt;Gerard Pique&lt;/strong&gt; has shared his thoughts&amp;nbsp;on who should wear it.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Messi, who will be &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/psg-2122-kit-how-much-does-messis-number-30-shirt-cost-20210810-0017.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paris Saint-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Germain&lt;/strong&gt;'s No. 30&lt;/a&gt;, has been more than up to the task of wearing Barca's No. 10. Countless renowned stars have&amp;nbsp;used the shirt throughout history, but only a few have done it as great&amp;nbsp;as Messi did.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Therefore, &lt;strong&gt;it won't be easy for the Catalans to find the right successor&lt;/strong&gt; to such a significant jersey. &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-free-agent-who-will-take-barcelona-number-10-jersey-20210806-0012.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Some players on the current&amp;nbsp;squad&lt;/a&gt; might earn the chance to doing so, and Pique already has his candidate.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

  &lt;span class=&quot;item first&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
  &lt;span class=&quot;item second&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
  &lt;span class=&quot;item third&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Gerard Pique has his candidate to inherit Barcelona's No. 10 after Messi&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;If we talk about players whose&amp;nbsp;opinions have an impact in Barcelona, Gerard Pique would be certainly one of them. The veteran center-back&amp;nbsp;is entering his &lt;strong&gt;14th straight&amp;nbsp;season&lt;/strong&gt; at the club, and first one without &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/psg-lineup-with-lionel-messi-neymar-mbappe-sergio-ramos-in-a-superteam-20210806-0016.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt; by his side.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;During a conversation with Spanish streamer &lt;strong&gt;Ibai&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;em&gt;Twitch&lt;/em&gt;, Pique expressed that&amp;nbsp;he wants&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/sergio-ag%C3%BCero-t47494&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kun Aguero&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to wear the No. 10: &lt;em&gt;&quot;Well, &lt;strong&gt;I think someone will have to wear&amp;nbsp;it&lt;/strong&gt;. I told&amp;nbsp;Kun to take it, but he doesn't see it very clearly,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; he said. &lt;em&gt;&quot;Wearing the number 10 is very cool, but on the other hand, very difficult as well because of history.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

  &lt;span class=&quot;item third&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;While there's still plenty of expectation about what will happen, it seems like Sergio Aguero will wear &lt;strong&gt;No. 19&lt;/strong&gt;. Besides, &lt;strong&gt;Memphis Depay&lt;/strong&gt; has already taken the number 9, so it's still uncertain if Barca's number 10 jersey will be used&amp;nbsp;this season.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
