Fans are shocked by some of the players on the list of the Premier League’s top ten highest-paid stars, which was recently released.
Even if the Saudi Pro League has enticed several stars with startlingly high salary packages, it is no secret that Premier League players are among the highest-paid footballers in the world.
All three of the highest-paid football players in the world—Karim Benzema, Neymar, and Cristiano Ronaldo—are Saudi nationals.
Ronaldo receives a base income of approximately £168 million per year from Capology, while Neymar and Benzema each receive a base salary of approximately £84 million.
But which Premier League players make the most money? Fans are in disbelief after seeing the top 10.

With a base wage of £20.8 million per year, Kevin De Bruyne (1) is the highest-paid player in the English Premier League, according to Capology.

Erling Haaland (2), the midfielder’s colleague, is ranked second in the rankings and makes an incredible £19.5 million annually. City was able to pay the attacker a high salary because they only had to pay a small £51 million transfer price for him in 2022.
Both Manchester United’s Casemiro (3) and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (4), who are about to reach the last year of their deal, make £18.2 million annually.
The salary of Romelu Lukaku (5), who hasn’t played for Chelsea since 2022 because of time spent on loan at Inter Milan and AS Roma, is £16.9 million each season, just like that of Raheem Sterling (6) of Chelsea.
According to reports, Lukaku didn’t receive his regular pay when competing for Roma in the previous campaign. Man United’s Marcus Rashford (7) receives a base pay of £15.6 million annually, while Jack Grealish (8) and Bernardo Silva (9) of Man City supposedly earn a basic income of £15.6 million annually.
Kai Havertz (10), who signed a £14.56 million contract after leaving Chelsea for Arsenal in the summer, completes the top 10.
It’s safe to assume that many fans found some of the names on the list unbelievable.
