Who is the highest paid football player in Liga 1?
In September, two important renewals have taken place in Liga 1, specifically in Alianza Lima and Sporting Cristal. At the beginning of the month, it was confirmed that Christian Cueva would stay at Matute until the end of the year, and a few days ago the contract extension of Ignácio da Silva in the Celeste team was announced. Therefore, we will tell you who is now the highest paid football player in Liga 1.
In the case of Cueva, it was known that he accepted a considerable reduction in his salary in his new contract, due to the questionable performance he had with Alianza in the first half of the year. In this way, 'Aladino' stopped being the highest paid football player in the Peruvian league. Remember that until the end of August, he occupied the first place receiving $100,000 every month.
On the other hand, in the case of the Brazilian defender, he signed until the 2025 season due to the excellent performances he has had both locally and internationally with Sporting Cristal. However, the new contract has not yet allowed him to become the highest paid player in the entire Liga 1.

According to Líbero, at the beginning of the season 'Gabi' Costa agreed to return to Alianza Lima in exchange for a monthly remuneration of $50,000.
