2010 Top 10 Highest Paid Soccer Players

Credit Crunch? Recession? Pah! Those words mean nothing to the guys that pay top player’s wages!

9. Frank Lampard (Chelsea, England) €14.2/£12.6m.

Frank ‘Super Goals’ Lampard also makes it into the top 10 for the first time.

8. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Barcelona, Sweden) €14.5m/£12.9.
