Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid will probably be the biggest transfer of the season by a mile.However, Frenchman’s salary gives quite a different impression. Namely, there are several players in the Premier League who actually earn more than him. Not one, not two, but ten?!Considering that Mbappe received an enormous signing-on fee of more than 90 million euros, his wage of nearly 300,000 euros sounds quite modest, especially if we compare it to Premier League wages. Nevertheless, the fact that as many as ten EPL players’ monthly salaries are higher is rather mind-blowing. Some names are not so surprising, but some are quite shocking.Top 5 Premier League Clubs Director & Staff Salaries 2022/231⃣ Manchester United – £5.4m 2⃣ Manchester City- £4.7m 3⃣ Tottenham – £4.1m 4⃣ Chelsea – £4m5⃣ Crystal Palace – £3.8mhttps://t.co/Vl3Awn6KCm pic.twitter.com/YgX5zgozbQ— Omar Al Raisi (@Dantani) February 17, 2024 The first on the list is Manchester City’s duo – Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland. Considering the Cityzens’ results over the previous couple of seasons, the absolute domination in the EPL and the first Champions League trophy in the club’s history, it could be said that these wages are justified. Especially, if we know the key roles that both players have in Pep Guardiola’s squad.The third name on the list is the first surprise – Casemiro. Manchester United’s midfielder arrived at the club as a multiple UCL winner and an essential cog in Real Madrid’s machinery. Still, United’s season was nowhere near the expectations, so the Brazilian’s performance was not up to par.##NAJAVA_MECA_8142675##The fourth spot, with the equal wage as Casemiro, is reserved for Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. Even though the Egyptian played one of the worst seasons in terms of goals with the Reds, he is still considered one of the greatest players in the world.Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling and Romelu Lukaku, who spent the last two seasons on loans at respectively Inter Milan and Roma, are the next couple of players on the list. The Blues’ results this season were to say the least disappointing, but these wages are not a surprise, especially if we know how much money Chelsea owner Todd Boehly tends to spend.It is official: Stamford Bridge welcomes Enzo MarescaAnother City’s duo, Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish are 7th and 8th and, again, considering, the team’s result and their individual performances, they definitely deserve the money they get.Penultimate on the list is Man United’s Marcus Rashford, whose goal tally of only seven for the entire season speaks for itself. Last but not least, perhaps the biggest shock is Arsenal’s Kai Havertz, who concludes the list. The German played a fair season for the Gunners, but still can not be compared to Mbappe.The list of EPL players with higher wages than Mbappe:TOP TEN PREMIER LEAGUE SALARIES*1. Kevin de Bruyne (Man City) – 470.000 euros2. Erling Haaland (Man City) – 440.000 3. Casemiro (Man Utd) – 410.0004. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – 410.0005. Raheem Sterling (Chelsea) – 380.0006.
