Cristiano Ronaldo's salary at Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr is worth more than the entire Bayer Leverkusen team's salary, as the Portuguese star earns $213 million a year. If he were to join Bayer Leverkusen this summer, his salary would have to drastically decrease, but he would still be the best-paid player in the squad. The highest-paid player at Bayer Leverkusen is Alejandro Grimaldo, who earns $6.4 million a year, according to Capology.com. Ronaldo's contract with Leverkusen would be a big different compared to Grimaldo's.

Before joining Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo earned $31 million a year at Manchester United two years ago, and this would be the salary he could earn at Leverkusen. No team in Europe could afford to pay Ronaldo his current salary at Al Nassr, as it triples the amount the whole team earns in the Bundesliga.

Bayer Leverkusen's yearly team salary is worth $68.1 million, according to Capology.com. As Grimaldo tops the list for the top earner, Patrik Schick earns $6.4 million as well, and it doesn't seem that any player could earn over $10 million except for Ronaldo. The Portuguese striker would take a huge pay cut, but his hunger for more greatness in Europe, including winning another Champions League, could lead to him joining, regardless of the money.
