In the world of professional football, salaries have skyrocketed in recent years, and the Premier League is no exception. With clubs willing to invest significant amounts of money to secure the services of top talent, it’s no surprise that the highest-paid players in the league command eye-watering salaries. Let’s take a look at the top 10 highest-paid players in the 2023/24 Premier League season.
10. Kai Havertz – £14,560,000
In tenth place, we find Arsenal’s Kai Havertz with an annual salary of £14,560,000. The German midfielder made his Premier League debut with Chelsea but made a move to Arsenal in 2023 for an estimated fee of €75.00 million. At Arsenal, Havertz is the highest-paid player in the 2023/24 season.
9. Enzo Fernandez – £15,470,000
Next up is Enzo Fernandez, formerly of Chelsea, who earns £15,470,000 a year. The Argentine midfielder signed a lucrative contract at Stamford Bridge after the 2022 World Cup but has yet to help Chelsea get back on track to winning trophies.
8. Marcus Rashford – £15,600,000
Marcus Rashford, the first Manchester United player on this list, earns £15,600,000 per year. Despite his high salary, the winger has faced some controversy this season after a reported 12-hour tequila bender came to light.
7. Jack Grealish – £15,600,000
Jack Grealish takes seventh place with an annual salary of £15,600,000, equal to Marcus Rashford. Since signing from Aston Villa in 2021, Grealish has proven his worth but now faces competition for a starting place from Belgian Jérémy Doku.
6. Raheem Sterling – £16,900,000
In sixth place, we find Raheem Sterling, who currently plays for Chelsea and earns just under £17 million a year. Sterling has been a consistent performer under manager Mauricio Pochettino and is considered one of the few bright spots in an inconsistent Chelsea side.
5. Raphael Varane – £17,680,000
Raphael Varane, the second Manchester United player on this list, has an annual income of £17,680,000. The French defender enjoyed a successful career at Real Madrid but has faced more difficulties since joining Manchester United, alternating between the starting lineup and the bench.
4. Casemiro – £18,200,000
Varane earns slightly less than Casemiro, who collects £18,200,000 annually. The Brazilian midfielder, at 31 years old, has nothing left to prove after a trophy-laden spell at Real Madrid, including five Champions League titles.
3. Mohamed Salah – £18,200,000
Mohamed Salah, the only Liverpool player on this list, also earns £18,200,000. However, there have been rumors linking the Egyptian forward with a move to Saudi Arabia, where he could potentially earn even more than his current salary at Anfield.
2. Erling Haaland – £19,500,000
Norwegian phenomenon Erling Haaland takes the second spot with an annual salary of £19,500,000. The young striker has been in sensational form and aims to continue his goal-scoring exploits in 2024, with hopes of becoming Norway’s first-ever Ballon d’Or winner.
1. Kevin De Bruyne – £20,800,000
At the top of the list, we have Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, who earns a staggering £20,800,000 per year. De Bruyne has been a key player for City for several years and played a crucial role in their recent Champions League triumph. Widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world, his salary reflects his exceptional talent.
