The legendary former Real Madrid goalkeeper became the highest paid player in the Primera Liga after completing his move to Porto. It’s reported that Los Blancos are still paying half of Casillas’s wages.
5) Russia – Hulk (£5.5m)
The Brazilian international is a player that seems to fail on the big stage but had no problems in sealing a big-money move to Zenit in 2012, where he is still the best paid player in the country.
