For 3 consecutive years, that site has renovated and updated the list with the highest salaries of football players. With major changes in relation to the 2008/09 season – the biggest being the creation of a new “Galactic” team by Real Madrid and the newest millionaires, Manchester City, which has followed the same line of Chelsea, of previous years, considerably inflating salaries paid to the players of the “Premier League”.
With the most expensive transfer ever in football history, Cristiano Ronaldo of Madeira Island, voted best player in the world in 2009, heads the list, ahead of his “rivals” Ibrahimovic and Messi, both of FC Barcelona. According to the table, in 4th place comes the first player who’s not playing in Spain, namely Samuel Eto’o, of Inter Milan, coached by Portuguese José Mourinho. The Brazilian Kaká, teammate of Ronaldo at Bernabeu, takes home 833 thousand euros a month in salary and $10 million per year, composing the “top 5”.
Spain and England have the top players

They are; Benzema (7), Raul (17), Casillas (22) and Diarra (45), the latter with a monthly salary of 416 thousand euros and five million per year. From Barcelona besides Ibrahimovic and Messi, the list contains six “millionaire” names. These are Henry (11), Xavi (12), Daniel Alves (15), Valdez (23), Puyol (37) and Iniesta (38). Still in Spain there are another three players; Kanouté (Sevilla), at 24. David Villa (Valencia) at 30 and Aguero (Atletico Madrid), at 39.
England is also well represented in the list of values. Starting at Manchester City, with the players Adebayor (6), Tevez (8), Touré (19), Robinho (21), Garry (35) and Bridge (44). Manchester United, the former team of Ronaldo, enters the list of the 50 highest paid in the world with Rio Ferdinand at (18), Rooney (20), Barbatov (46) and Giggs (49). From Chelsea, the list is formed by: Terry (9), Lampard (10), Ballack (16), Deco (25), Drogba (26), Cole (33) and Anelka (48). Still in the land of “Her Majesty” Liverpool has Gerrard (14) and Fernando Torres (34), while Arsenal have Arshavin (47).
Inter Milan, Juventus and Bayern among the top
From the “Calcio” in Italy, Mourinho’s Inter Milan, have Eto’o, at nº 4 and Patrick Vieira (36), while their rival AC Milan, adds Ronaldinho to the list at (13), Pilro (40) and Bechkam (43). Juventus, with Buffon (27) and Del Piero (50), who earns €400 thousand a month, and AS Roma with Totti (28) and Luca Toni (28), complete the Italian list.
Finally from the “Bundesliga” in Germany, Bayern Munich ends the list of clubs with athletes among the best paid, with four elements: Robben (31), Schweinsteiger (32), Sagnol (41) and Ribéry (42).

I think cristiano ronaldo is an OVERPAID CRY BABY…period

I will paly for Arsenal and Real Madrid.
I meant to say “I will play for ‘Arsenal’ and ‘Real Madrid’ scoring 200 goals for each club.
I must admit, at first I didn’t like Ronaldo due to what appeared as a overly confident show off. But I must admit, I started to admire the kid. Not very off from his age, (being 31) I can relate that if he worked hard and committed to his skills, then he deserves to fluant and act the way he does. You got to admire this guy, he’s got the height, the career, the talent, the looks, the fame, the women, and also the material possessions. I think who ever hates on Ronaldo, would do anything to be like him if they could. Good luck CR (from Toronto)
Without adequate nutrition it is not possible to complete a strict football training schedule, too as play for 90 minutes in a game. All players at the top of their game have to maintain excellent fitness and Christiano Ronaldo also manages to keep his body exceptionally toned. With a star athlete lifestyle and a girlfriend as photogenic as Nereida Gallard.

Good article. It is unfortunate that over the last one decade, the travel industry has had to deal with terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, influenza, swine flu, as well as the first ever real global tough economy. Through all this the industry has proven to be powerful, resilient along with dynamic, locating new methods to deal with difficulty. There are generally fresh issues and the opportunity to which the market must just as before adapt and behave.
