De Bruyne earns higher salary than Haaland

Man City is paying a weekly salary of 525,000 USD for De Bruyne, 25,000 higher than the second in the team - striker Erling Haaland. The former Dortmund star is also the second highest paid player in the tournament.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Haaland is rewarded more than De Bruyne. Therefore, the total income of the 22-year-old Norwegian striker is up to $ 1,070,000 per week. Haaland receives rewards according to the number of matches and goals scored. He has scored 42 goals in the first 37 games of the 2022-2023 season, leading the top scorer races in the English Premier League, Champions League and European Golden Shoe.

De Bruyne joined Man City in 2015. The 31-year-old midfielder contributed 61 goals and 98 assists, helping the Etihad Stadium team win four Premier Leagues, an FA Cup, a League Cup and an English Super Cup.

David De Gea is earning the same salary as Haaland. The 32-year-old Spanish goalkeeper has a contract with Man Utd until June 2023 and the two sides have not reached an agreement to extend.

The fourth highest paid player in the Premier League is Mohamed Salah. According to L'Équipe, the Egyptian striker is receiving $ 460,000 a week from Liverpool. The contract is valid from June 2022 to June 2025.

Liverpool have played erratically since the start of the season, but Salah is still an irreplaceable player. The 30-year-old striker has 22 goals in 39 games. This is the sixth consecutive season Salah has scored at least 22 goals for Liverpool.

Jadon Sancho is earning the same salary as Salah. The contract of the old English player starts from June 2021 and is valid until June 2026. Sancho has not proven his worth after the $90 million transfer from Dortmund to Man Utd. In 63 matches with the "Red Devils", the former England player only scored 10 goals.

Arsenal have no players in the list of the five highest-paid players in the Premier League. However, if they win the championship in the 2022-2023 season, the "Gunners" are likely to have to increase their salary to keep the mainstay.

Arsenal are leading with 69 points after 28 matches. They are eight points ahead of Man City, but played more than one game. Man Utd is ranked third with 53 points after 27 matches.

On April 1, Arsenal will host Leeds United. They have the opportunity to widen the gap if Man City loses points against Liverpool. In this round, Man Utd is a guest on the field of Newcastle.
