Incredible Statistic Reveals Magnitude of Cristiano Ronaldo's Salary If He Joins Juventus

​The €30m a year that Cristiano Ronaldo will be paid if he joins Juventus will see him out-earn his club colleagues by a huge margin.

In fact, ​Mundo Deportivo reports that such a deal would mean that the 33-year-old pockets more money a year than his top five highest-earning teammates combined.

Gonzalo Higuain, Paulo Dybala, Douglas Costa, Miralem Pjanic and Sami Khedira currently earn a combined total of €29m a year.

Higuain is the best-paid of the current ​Juventus squad, but Ronaldo's proposed contract could see him earning four times the €7.5m that Higuain picks up per season.

An alternative way of looking at it is that Ronaldo will earn the same as the 12 lowest-paid players on professional contracts at Juventus.

The transfer would be a major coup for the Bianconeri and it seems to be edging closer, with ​reports talking of a "total agreement" between the player and the club.

Rumours on Friday morning claimed that ​Manchester United may be interested in trying to hijack Juventus' move for their former player, but the Turinese club remain in pole position for now.

Ronaldo joined ​Real Madrid from United in 2009 for a then-world record fee of £80m. He has since scored 450 goals and won eight major trophies with Los Blancos, including three consecutive Champions League titles.
