At the strongest world level, we can name the "La Liga" and "Premier" championships.
But in which local championships do players have the greatest opportunities to earn an impressive sum of money? Here is the list of the most generous leagues on the planet.
5. The French "Ligue 1" (annual average salary - 987 thousand pounds sterling)
For a long time, this championship was at the top of European leagues. Both in terms of impressive purchases and paid salaries. However, the arrival of new owners to the teams in Paris, "Saint Germain" and "Monaco," significantly raised the average salary of all the championships. Just the PSG star Zlatan Ibrahimović earns 12 million pounds sterling per season.
4. The Spanish "La Liga" (average salary - 1.21 million pounds sterling)
It may be somewhat surprising not to see the "Primera" championship in the top three, but we must not forget that in a crisis-shaken country, there are only two giants - the Madrid "Real" and "Barcelona" teams, who do not hesitate to pay their superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi salaries of 13.59 million and 16 million pounds sterling respectively.
3. The Italian "Serie A" (average salary - 1.31 million pounds sterling)
Once considered the most prestigious league on the planet, it still has a lot to offer to high-skilled football players. However, clubs avoid paying extravagant salaries to their stars, and the most earned is the "Roma" defender Daniele De Rossi - 5.19 million pounds sterling.
2. The German "Bundesliga" (average salary - 1.45 million pounds sterling)
The championship of one club called "Bundesliga" provides an opportunity to earn money even in not very famous clubs. Strict financial control and new stadiums have given football players the opportunity to get money bags.
Of course, "Bayern" would not be "Bayern" if it did not have several of the highest-earning league players. Among them, the Frenchman Franck Ribery stands out - 8.79 million pounds sterling.
1. The English "Premier" League (average salary - 2.27 million pounds sterling)
If you want to earn money, go to England. This rule applies not only to ordinary workers but also to professional football players. The "Premier" league surpasses even its closest competitors by a head. The "Man Utd" symbol Wayne Rooney can boast an impressive salary - 15.6 million pounds sterling.
