One of the most recognizable footballers on the planet, Cristiano Ronaldo takes the fifth spot on our list. At 36 years of age, Ronaldo has played in three different leagues and made his mark in all of them.
There's nothing to say about Ronaldo that hasn't been said already. Signed initially by Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon, the player cost the Red Devils a reported £12.24 million. After spending six spectacular seasons in England, the Portuguese moved to Real Madrid for a mammoth £80 million. This set the world transfer record at the time for any player in history.
Ronaldo spent nine years with the Spanish giants, before completing a £100 million move to Juventus in 2018. Boasting an unparalleled CV, Ronaldo became the most expensive player over the age of 30. As we approach Portugal's first game at Euro 2020, the Portuguese is currently valued at £40 million.
