Ronaldinho is worth £32.6m
Ronaldinho is the most commercially valuable football player in the world, according to a new study. The Barcelona ace, 26, is worth 32.6 million, more than English duo David Beckham (£31.2m) and Wayne Rooney (£30.4m), who are second and third respectively. Beckham still has the best-known face, but Ronaldinho’s age and great talent make him a better marketing prospect, says consultancy firm BBDO Germany. Frank Lampard (£20m) is eighth while Steven Gerrard (£19.2m) is 11th. Most valuable players 1. Ronaldinho (Barcelona) £32.6m 2. David Beckham (Real Madrid) £31.2m 3.
