Manchester City are one of the richest clubs in world football and that can be seen by the huge transfer fees they have paid in recent years, and the high wages their players earn.
Pep Guardiola’s side are often locked in transfer battles with other super clubs and therefore must offer a huge salary to convince any player to pick a move to the Etihad Stadium over any other transfer.
This was seen with their purchase of Norway striker Erling Haaland in 2022, with City fighting off competition from Real Madrid to land the Borussia Dortmund star.
The arrival of Haaland led to an historic treble in his first campaign, but despite his huge impact on Guardiola’s team, he is not their best-paid player.

De Bruyne famously represented himself during the most recent contract negotiations to become the highest-paid player in the club’s history after signing a new deal at the end of May 2022.
Jack Grealish is the third highest-paid player at Man City after De Bruyne and Haaland following his mega-move from Aston Villa in 2021.
Bernardo Silva is reportedly paid the same amount as Grealish (£15.6m) after he snubbed interest from PSG and Barcelona to stay at Man City.
John Stones earns £13m per year, which is more than Phil Foden (£11.7m), Rodri (£11.4m) and new signing Josko Gvardiol (£10.4m).
Manuel Akanji and Ruben Dias both earn an annual salary of £9.4m, according to reports, while Kyle Walker earns £9.1m every year.
Youngster Oscar Bobb is the lowest earner in the Man City senior squad, at £416,000 per year.
