Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has edged out PSG team-mate Lionel Messi and Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo and was named as the world's highest-paid soccer player, according to Forbes magazine.
This is the first time in nine-years that a player other than Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo has topped the list.
Kylian Mbappe is estimated to earn $128 million for the 2022-23 season, a record for Forbes' annual rankings, while PSG teammate Messi stood second in the list at $120 million and Manchester United's Ronaldo ($100 million) occupying third spot. PSG's Neymar ($87 million) and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah ($53 million) rounded off the top five.
The last player to top the list other than Ronaldo or Messi was former England captain David Beckham in 2013.
