Top earners at Al Nassr
The prolific attacker is the fifth-top earner at Al Nassr.
However, his wages almost appear child-like when compared to the top earner of the squad, Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese icon's salary at the club is simply mind-boggling.
Following Ronaldo on the list is former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane, while Aymeric Laporte and Marcelo Brozovic take up the third and fourth spot in the list.

Top earners in Saudi Pro League
Just like the Al Nassr wage bill, Ronaldo maintains his position at the top when it comes to the overall wage bill across the league.
Following him is his former Real Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema.
At third comes Al Ahli's Riyad Mahrez, while Senegalese internationals Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly acquire the final two spots respectively.
Duran doesn't make the top five yet, however, provided that the youngster continues to play for Al Nassr for a long while, he could become one of the highest-paid players in the league
