5) Manchester City – £156,000 a week (on average)

De Bruyne

It is not a complete surprise that the Citizens are on our list but the fact that they are the only English club to make the top five is an eye-opener.

Neither Manchester United nor Chelsea had a higher average weekly wage than the rest of the teams that we will mention in this post.

City’s top earner is Kevin De Bruyne (£400,000 a week), while Erling Haaland is not far behind (£375,000 a week), having joined from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
