"Al Nassr" team is leading among all clubs in the world according to one important indicator.

The Saudi Arabian champions have managed to surpass even teams like Real Madrid and Manchester City, climbing to the top of the list of teams spending the most money on player salaries.

Capology calculated that the Arabs accumulate a salary fund of $487.7 million for players per season.

This has been largely influenced by the gigantic contract of forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

By the way, the huge financial expenditures are unsustainable even for the Arabs – recently, there have been reports about the financial problems of the "Al Nassr" team.

In second place on the list is Real Madrid ($476.3 million), and in third is Al Hilal ($472 million).
