The top 10 wage bills in world football have been revealed with Al Hilal leapfrogging Manchester United following the blockbuster signing of Neymar

Just like the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, Neymar has left Europe for Saudi Arabia as he departed Paris Saint-Germain.

He's signed an extremely lucrative two-year deal with Al Hilal, with the superstar forward on a reported salary of £86 million.

Al Hilal also boast former Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly and ex-Wolves man Ruben Neves, not to mention Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Malcom.

The Saudi Pro League side, naturally, have a huge wage bill of €266,309,561, which is more than Premier League teams Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal, among other clubs.

Saudi sides Al Nassr, who have Ronaldo and Sadio Mane on their books, and Al Ittihad, who signed Benzema and N'Golo Kante this summer, are also included in the top ten.

Ronaldo's Al Nassr have the second-highest wage bill in the world, with Al Ittihad having the eighth-highest wage bill. Their wage bills are €291,022,641 and €277,551,974 respectively.

PSG top the list with a staggering wage bill of €366,060,000 ahead of the aforementioned Al Nassr, Real Madrid and Al Hilal.

Man United and Man City are ranked fifth and sixth respectively while Barcelona have the seventh-highest wage bill ahead of Benzema's Al Ittihad.

German champions Bayern Munich, who added Harry Kane to their squad this summer, and Arsenal make up the top ten.
