After Gareth Bale's world-record wage offer from Jiangsu Suning broke down, which players make the top ten biggest earners around the world?
Gareth Bale looked set to become the highest earner in world football following the offer of a £1 million ($1.2m) a week wage at Jiangsu Suning.
Discounting bonuses, sponsorship deals and the like, it would have seen Bale leap up football's high earners list, but the deal appears to have fallen through, alas.
With a number of high-profile signings around Europe already this year, that list has nevertheless seen a significant shake-up with some familiar faces dropping out of the top 10.
