In the lavish world of football, the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) has showcased some of the highest-paid players on the continent.
Topping the chart is Algeria’s Riyad Mahrez, raking in an astounding £860,000 a week. Following closely are Senegal’s Sadio Mané with £657,000 and his compatriot Kalidou Koulibaly with £570,000.
While these earnings reflect the financial prowess of football stars, it’s noteworthy that only one from the top 10 list is currently participating in the ongoing AFCON 2023 Quarter Finals: Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen, who earns £211,000 per week.
Osimhen’s journey in the tournament adds a competitive edge to his remarkable financial standing among his fellow top earners.
