9. Enzo Fernandez - £15,470,000

Next up is Havertz's former team-mate Enzo Fernandez, who earns £15,470,000 a year.

Difficult start

The Argentine signed a lucrative contract at Stamford Bridge after the 2022 World Cup, but has yet to get Chelsea back on track to winning trophies.

8. Marcus Rashford - £15,600,000

The first Manchester United player on this list, Marcus Rashford earns £15,600,000 a year.

Controversy

Despite his salary, the winger is not enjoying the best season of his career and has sparked controversy after a 12-hour tequila bender, as reported by The Sun, came to light.

7. Jack Grealish - £15,600,000

Jack Grealish takes seventh place with an annual salary of £15,600,000, equal to Rashford.

Battling with Doku

The Birmingham native has proved his worth since signing from Aston Villa in August 2021, but this season he is battling for a starting place with Belgian Jérémy Doku.

6. Raheem Sterling - £16,900,000

In sixth place, we find Raheem Sterling, who currently plays for Chelsea and earns just under £17 million a year.

Starter under Pochettino

Sterling is a regular under Mauricio Pochettino and is one of the few bright spots in an inconsistent Blues side. Can he turn things around for the embattled Chelsea?

5. Raphael Varane - £17,680,000

Raphael Varane is the second Manchester United player on this list, with an annual income of £17,680,000.

Real Madrid legend

Varane enjoyed a successful career at Real Madrid, where he became a legend. However, his time at Old Trafford has been more difficult, as the Frenchman alternates between the starting line-up and the bench.

4. Casemiro - £18,200,000

Varane earns slightly less than Casemiro, who collects £18,200,000 annually.

Nothing left to prove

At 31, the Brazilian has nothing left to prove after a trophy-laden spell at Real Madrid, during which he won five Champions Leagues, amongst others, according to Transfermarkt.

3. Mohamed Salah - £18,200,000

According to Spotrac, Casemiro earns the same as Mohamed Salah, the only Liverpool player on this list.

Last season at Anfield?

However, the Egyptian has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, where he can reportedly earn much more than he does at Anfield. Will Liverpool bid farewell to Salah in 2024?

2. Erling Haaland - £19,500,000

Norwegian phenomenon Erling Haaland takes the second spot with an annual salary of £19,500,000.

Ballon d'Or?

The striker is looking to continue scoring in 2024 as he did in 2023, and hopes to write history by becoming Norway's first-ever Ballon d'Or winner.

1. Kevin De Bruyne - £20,800,000

We arrive at the number one spot, where we find Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne, who earns £20,800,000 a year.

Best midfielder in the world?

The Belgian has been with City for years, and last year he filled a huge gap in their trophy cabinet by winning the Champions League. Many consider him to be the best midfielder in the world, which is reflected in his earnings.
