It may not currently have the most attractive players in terms of marketing (Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar…), but for many years now, the Premier League has been a dimension of its own. No other league is even close to it when it comes to marketing, money spent on the football market, but also money spent on player salaries. And all these are the reasons why more and more players choose the ‘island’ as their next career destination.Because apart from the aforementioned four from the beginning of the text and a few more players from Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Bayern, possibly Barcelona, few footballers outside the Premier League can boast of the same salary as their colleagues from English clubs. Especially when it comes to somewhat “average” players.However, the Spanish outlet Marca decided to hold on to the most famous names and, using the data of the specialized Spotrac portal, which, among other things, deals with the salaries of athletes, presented a list of the highest-paid footballers of the Premier League. It is dominated by football players from the Manchester clubs, United and City, and Chelsea.The highest-paid Premier League players according to @spotrac 💸Some surprises? 👀 pic.twitter.com/7tJiLfdZw5— Skores (@skoresofficial) February 9, 2023 United lead the pack with as many as eight players in the TOP 26 highest paid (so many of them have an annual salary of over £10,000,000), while City and Chelsea have six each. At the top of the list is Kevin de Bruyne, who earns £20,800,000 per season (gross figures), while his team-mate Erling Haaland and United goalkeeper David De Gea are right behind with £19,500,000 per year.Fourth on the list is Mohamed Salah, who cashes out his yearly £18,200,000 and it happend only this summer by signing a new contract, and interestingly – he is the only Liverpool player on this list among the top ten (Virgil Van Dijk is only in 19th place, and Thiago Alcantara is in 23rd place). Arsenal, on the other hand, do not have a single Gunner among the top ten. The first footballer of the current leader of the Premier League on this list is Gabriel Jesus, who arrived this summer from City only in 13th position with an annual salary of 13,780,000 pounds, followed by Thomas Partey with 10,400,000 (shares 21st position).##NAJAVA_MECA_7009881##Tottenham are the only member of the big six with one footballer on the list – Harry Kane, recently the best scorer in the history of the club, who is at the bottom of this list and annually takes 10,400,000 pounds from the coffers of the London club. Admittedly, Kane signed the current six-year contract back in 2018 and this summer he should sit down with Spurs’ first man Daniel Levy and negotiate a significant raise.The list ends with Kane, because below the Tottenham striker is his teammate Heung-min Son whose salary is less than £10,000,000 a year (9,984,000).Who are the biggest spenders and earners at the football market – the English don’t know when enough is enoughHIGHEST-PAID PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYERS1.
