Cristiano Ronaldo is now the highest-paid player in the Premier League, following his shock return to Manchester United, according to Sky Italia.
The 36-year-old has agreed on personal terms with United, which will see him sign a two-year deal worth £480,000 a week.
Ronaldo is now ahead of Lukaku, who also moved back to Chelsea this summer.
Once image rights and bonuses are taken into account, Lukaku will take home between £325,000 and £450,000-per-week. Kevin De Bruyne, who recently signed a new contract at Manchester City, is on £385,000-per-week.
De Bruyne’s new teammate, Jack Grealish, is paid £380,000-per-week including bonuses.
