As every year, the Sun establishes a ranking of the highest salaries of players in England. Unsurprisingly, Cristiano Ronaldo is the highest paid player in the Premier League with a comfortable weekly salary of £510,000, or around 606,900 euros. He is followed by Kevin De Bruyne who receives the tidy sum of £400,000 a week (regarding 476,100 euros).
The rest of this ranking is dominated by Manchester United players. Indeed, the podium is completed by David De Gea, not even selected with La Roja for international matches in a few days (£375,000 – 446,300 euros).
Transferred this summer, Jadon Sancho hit the jackpot on his return home. Whoever trained with the enemy Citizen before joining Dortmund earns €416,600 for seven days. At 21, he is the youngest player in this ranking. He is followed by Raphaël Varane who was also transferred during the last summer transfer window from Real Madrid. The French international earns him £340,000 a week, or 404,700 euros.
In sixth position, we find a certain Romelu Lukaku. The Blues had spent 115 million euros in August for the striker who was to become Bridge’s lethal weapon. For the moment, the return to the Premier League is very mixed for the Red Devil who is overtaken by Kai Havertz in the hierarchy. He will still be able to console himself with emoluments which climb up to £325,000 weekly (386,900 euros). Even if, as a competitive bulimic, his sporting situation must certainly not please him. The top scorer in the history of Belgium is also the first player who does not come from the United-City duo.
Not to offend its two stars, Sterling and Grealish have exactly the same salary and continue the ranking with a pay slip which amounts to £300,000 a week (regarding 357,100 euros).
Two Frenchmen bring up the rear of the top 10: Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kanté. The first, who is at the end of his contract and therefore free as the air, pockets £290,000 per week, or 345,200 euros, just like his sidekick with the Blues.
