Who is the Highest Paid Player in the Premier League in 2024?

The Premier League is a massive international phenomenon. Matches are seen all across the globe, and the television rights to it fetch billions of dollars. To no one's surprise, the participants get substantial salaries. 

Even the so-called lesser teams in the Premier League pay millions in compensation yearly, making their wage expenditures among the highest in Europe. 

To what extent do Premier League players earn their salaries? Are they worth the wages? Let's see who made it to the top premier league earners

Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)

£400,000 per week / £20,800,000 per annum

The greatest Premier League player isis the highest-paid player in the league, which is only fitting.

With Manchester City, the Belgian playmaker Kevin de Bruyne won many titles and cemented his place as one of the best midfielders the league has ever seen. Considering Chelsea turned him down, that's fair.

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

£375,000 pw / £19,500,000 per annum

With interest, Manchester City has already recouped the £50 million spent on Norwegian striker Haaland.

As City stormed to a treble, the enormous target man scored 36 goals in the league, setting a new record.

An icon of the contemporary era who, should he re-sign with the champs, would undoubtedly take the cake. Our interview with Haaland may be found here. 

Mohammed Salah (Liverpool)

£350,000 pw / £18,200,000 pa

Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah has won every domestic trophy available to the club, including the Premier League in 2020, which he had long desired.

He would have won even more if Pep Guardiola's City hadn't been in the same period as Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool. Chelsea let another Premier League great go while they were young. Oh no.

Casemiro (Manchester United)

£350,000 pw / £18,200,000 pa

There is no doubt that the top three players are deserving of their vast pay.

The seasoned Brazilian had a fantastic rookie season but hit a wall in a sophomore, putting up mediocre play and missing a lot of time due to injury. His salary alone was £70 million.

Raheem Sterling (Chelsea)

£325,000 pw / £16,900,000 pa

Despite not yet being 30 years old, English winger Raheem Sterling has been a mainstay in the Premier League for almost a decade.

Before defecting to City and earning a slew of ill-fated championships, he was an exciting member of Liverpool's 2014 championship-losing squad.

His tenure at Chelsea has been both eventful and fruitful; props to him.

Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)

£300,000 pw / £15,600,000 pa

On his United debut, Rashford scored twice at the tender age of 18. In the following years, the striker may have hoped for more than just the Europa League, the FA Cup, and a handful of League Cups.

Even though he is still the club's public face, the Englishman has never lived up to his early potential due to his inconsistent play.

But his advocacy has had an impression beyond the field of play.

Jack Grealish (Manchester City)

£300,000 pw / £15,600,000 pa

Jack Grealish won more trophies in his first two seasons with City than Marcus Rashford in his ten-year Manchester United career.

The exuberant Englishman may not be the exciting dribbler he was during his time at Aston Villa, but he likely thinks the 2023 Treble will make up for his indifference to beating men these days.

We have achieved the remarkable feat of being liked while playing for City. 

Bernardo Silva (Manchester City)

£300,000 pw / £15,600,000 pa

Manchester City occupies a considerable chunk of this list. Bernardo Silva, like Kevin de Bruyne and Jack Grealish, is a technically gifted attacker who has amassed numerous medals since becoming a part of Pep Guardiola's City project. (Assuming it isn't broken.)

David is still the original Silva. Thus, he may not be City's finest Silva this decade. However, the Champions League is available to Benardo.

Kai Havertz (Arsenal)

£280,000 pw / 14,560,000 pa

When Arsenal paid £64 million to Chelsea for Havertz, many were surprised since the midfielder was often disappointing when playing for Chelsea. (Excluding, to be fair, the game-winning goal in the Champions League final.)

Whether the German is more effective at attacking or playing in the middle of the field is still debatable.
