Jadon Sancho</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Club:</strong> Manchester United FC</p> <p><strong>Position:</strong> Forward</p> <p><strong>Annual salary:</strong> £18,200,000 ($34,225,075 AUD*)</p> <p><strong>Weekly wage:</strong> £350,000 ($658,174 AUD*)</p> <p>The money is in Manchester, as another player based in England’s northwest makes this list.</p> <p>Jadon Sancho earned a big-money move to United after impressing in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund but has yet to live up to the hype so far at the Red Devils.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>4.

How the hell is David De Gea the third highest-paid player in the Premier League?</p> <p>The error-prone keeper somehow landed himself a multi-year contract which sees him net £375,000 a week and opposition strikers net a healthy number of goals.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>2. Erling Haaland</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Club:</strong> Manchester City FC</p> <p><strong>Position:</strong> Forward</p> <p><strong>Annual salary:</strong> £19,500,000 ($36,671,099 AUD*)</p> <p><strong>Weekly wage:</strong> £375,000 ($705,213 AUD*)&nbsp;</p> <p>He broke the record for the most Premier League goals in a single season in his first year in England.</p> <p>No one has ever lived up to a price tag quite like Erling Haaland. Worth every penny doesn’t even begin to cover it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Earning a weekly wage of £375,000 at 22 years of age isn’t too shabby.

<p><strong>Club:</strong> Manchester City FC</p> <p><strong>Position:</strong> Midfielder</p> <p><strong>Annual salary:</strong> £20,800,000 ($39,116,214 AUD*)</p> <p><strong>Weekly wage:</strong> £400,000 ($752,234 AUD*)</p> <p>Many of you probably expected goalscoring phenom Erling Haaland to occupy the top spot on this list.</p> <p>But would Haaland be breaking records without the services of this man? Probably not.</p> <p>Kevin De Bruyne is widely considered to be the best midfielder on the planet and is the heartbeat of a Manchester City side who have won five of the last six Premier League titles.</p> <p>City’s ROI on KDB has been well worth the £400,000 a week that they pay him.</p>
