Barcelona's Lionel Messi continues to lead the way in terms of annual revenue earned by a footballer after France Football reported on Monday that the Argentinian forward had earned 74 million euros in the past year.
The publication, which is to circulate its research on Tuesday, also noted that Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo managed to secure second place after earning 67.4m in the same period.
Messi's Blaugrana teammate Neymar is third with earnings of 43.5m.
The leading trio remains unchanged for the third year running with France Football taking into account such considerations as salary before taxes, premiums and advertising contracts.
Paris Saint-Germain, long considered one of the richest teams in Europe, has 14 players inside of the top 20, with Angel di Maria managing to earn the most in France with a sum of 24m.
The winger remains narrowly ahead of teammates Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
France Football also tracked the earnings made by coaches in the past twelve months and Jose Mourinho, who was sacked by Chelsea in December, is still on top of the pile with 24m.
