Top earners in Saudi Pro League
Despite Mitrovic being one of the top earners at Al Hilal, he doesn't even come close when compared to the top earners across the league. His team-mate Koulibaly does make an appearance in the list though.
Former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo is the highest-paid player in the league with an unbelievable salary playing at Al Nassr. Meanwhile, Al Ittihad's Karim Benzema makes his appearance at second position, followed by Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez.
At number four and five are Sadio Mane and Koulibaly respectively.
