Is this the BIGGEST sports deal ever?

Juan Soto play for the New York Yankees, one of the most famous baseball teams in the US

The biggest sports contract in history may have been signed by a star baseball player in the US.

Juan Soto currently plays for the New York Yankees but reports suggest he's just signed with a rival team called the New York Mets.

Sources say a £600 million ($765m) deal over 15 years, with a £58.8m ($75m) signing bonus, has been agreed.

This makes it the largest contract ever given to a professional athlete in the world.

Who is the highest paid athlete?

While Juan Soto might be about to sign the world's biggest sports contract, his yearly salary won't touch what some of the top sport stars in the world are earning right now.

Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo was the highest-paid football player and athlete in the world in 2024 according to business magazine Forbes.

He reportedly earns £176.5m (€200m) a year with his current team Al-Nassr FC.
