Liverpool's Darwin Nunez is set to pocket a princely sum in Saudi Arabia, yet his earnings will still pale in comparison to the Premier League's top earner, Erling Haaland.
The 26-year-old Uruguayan forward is on the brink of signing for Al-Hilal in a deal worth an initial £46 million ($61.7M), with potential add-ons of around £10M ($13.4M).
