The summer transfer window for Premier League clubs was marked not only by hefty transfer fees but also by significant salaries. Six players are reportedly earning at least £200,000 a week.
A ranking has been compiled based on data from Capology and SalaryLeaks. However, these figures have not been officially confirmed by the clubs, and estimates can vary between the two sources.
1. Elliot Anderson — Manchester City, £250,000 a week
Following his move from Nottingham Forest, Anderson's wages have soared from £40,000 to £250,000 a week. He became the most expensive English footballer in history this summer, a record that was soon eclipsed by Morgan Rogers.
2. Bruno Guimaraes — Arsenal, £250,000
The Brazilian midfielder is on similar wages to Anderson after his transfer to Arsenal.
3. Ronald Araujo — Liverpool, £205,000
The Uruguayan defender takes third place in the ranking with a salary of around £205,000 a week.
4. Sandro Tonali — Tottenham, £200,000
There is a notable discrepancy in estimates here. Capology suggests a salary of £200,000 per week, whereas SalaryLeaks cites £275,000. Considered bonuses could realistically push the Italian's income closer to the higher figure.
5. Mateus Fernandes — Tottenham, £200,000
Another new recruit for Tottenham, Fernandes, is also reported to earn around £200,000 a week.
6. Youri Tielemans — Manchester United, £200,000
The Belgian midfielder rounds out the group of players earning approximately £200,000 a week.
7. Andy Robertson — Tottenham, £160,000
Robertson joined Tottenham as a free agent, allowing the London club to offer the defender a substantial salary without a transfer fee.
8. Morgan Rogers — Chelsea, £150,000–175,000
Capology estimates Rogers' salary at £150,000 per week, while SalaryLeaks puts it at £175,000.
9. Marcos Senesi — Tottenham, £150,000
The Argentine defender, who also joined the London side as a free agent, earns about £150,000 a week.
10. Maxence Lacroix — Chelsea, £150,000
French defender Lacroix shares the tenth spot with an estimated weekly wage of around £150,000.
Also at this figure are Joao Gomes from Aston Villa and Marco Palastra from Chelsea. However, SalaryLeaks estimates Palastra's wage lower, at £120,000 a week.
