    Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Karim Benzema


    now reportedly take home more than any player in
    Europe, while Lionel Messi isn’t doing too badly for
    himself out in Miami. Still, the superstars at the top
    of their game at Europe’s elite clubs continue to
    earn mammoth salaries.

    Here’s the full breakdown of the highest-paid


    players in European football, with their estimated
    weekly wages in Euros and Pounds. The figures are
    from FBref via Capology.

    COLE PALMER'S WONDERFUL FIRST


    GOAL FOR MAN CITY

    00:00 / 00:31

    10. Casemiro – €409,538 (£350,000)

    Manchester United’s top earner following the


    summer departure of David de Gea made a big
    impact in his debut season at Old Trafford. The
    experienced Brazilian looked well worth the
    investment, having arrived in England with no fewer
    than five Champions Leagues under his belt.

    Casemiro has started year two a little more slowly,


    leading to some prominent pundits asking the
    question of handing a player in his thirties such a
    lengthy and lucrative deal, but you’d be daft to
    write him off just yet.

    9. Luka Modric – €420,769 (£359,598)

    One of the greatest players of his generation has


    taken a different tack to former Los Blancos team-
    mate Sergio Ramos and remained at the Bernabeu
    deep into his thirties after signing a series of well-
    earned, short-term contract extensions – and he’s
    certainly well-remunerated.

    The Croatian midfielder signed another one-year


    deal in the summer and turned 38 earlier this
    month. This may well be his last year in the Spanish
    capital, as Carlo Ancelotti looks to transition to a
    new-look midfield of Jude Bellingham, Aurelien
    Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga.

    8. David Alaba – €432,692 (£369,788)

    The Austria international won the treble in his final


    season at Bayern Munich and departed Bavaria
    after a starring role in nine successive Bundesliga
    title wins.

    Given that kind of track record, Alaba’s


    representatives were in a very strong position to
    negotiate a huge salary at Real Madrid. Especially
    given the Spanish giants weren’t required to pay
    any kind of transfer fee, with Alaba arriving as a
    free agent.

    Two years later it’s safe to say that Alaba has


    proven worth his hefty wages, winning everything
    there is to win across his first two years with
    Madrid.

    7. Erling Haaland – €438,791 (£375,000)

    Given that he established himself as one of world


    football’s hottest properties whilst at Bayern
    Munich, it ought to be no surprise that Manchester
    City rolled out the red carpet and bowed to
    Haaland’s considerable wage demands when they
    signed him last summer.

    In his debut season at the Etihad, the striker won


    the European Golden Shoe and ended up the top
    scorer in both the Champions League and Premier
    League as Pep Guardiola’s side claimed the treble.

    Haaland’s future is tied down in Manchester until


    2027 but you imagine when the time comes to
    negotiate a new deal, he may well end up the
    highest-earning footballer in English football
    history.

    6. Kevin De Bruyne – €468,044


    (£400,000)

    The Premier League’s top earner doesn’t even have


    an agent.

    He brokered his latest deal in April 2021 with the


    help of a lawyer, his father, and a data analysis firm
    that helped make the case he ought to be the top-
    earning player in the country.

    Evidently as smart off the pitch as he is on it.

    5. Toni Kroos – €468,846 (£400,686)

    Like Modric, Kroos signed a new deal for a one-


    year contract extension at the Bernabeu back in
    June.

    The German is five years younger than his era-


    defining midfield partner but has often made
    suggestions that he doesn’t intend to stick around
    playing until he’s approaching 40.

    He’s the top earner at the Bernabeu and doesn’t


    appear interested in one final big-money payday
    when the time comes to leave, having called Gabri
    Veiga’s move to Saudi Arabia “embarrassing”.

    4. Harry Kane – €480,769 (£410,876)

    The top goalscorer in the history of both England


    and Tottenham Hotspur, Kane gave up – or
    postponed? – his ambitions of overtaking Alan
    Shearer to become the Premier League’s all-time
    top goalscorer by moving to Germany.

    As well as playing a club-record €100million for the


    England captain’s signature, Bayern have handed
    him the most lucrative contract in the history of the
    Bundesliga.

    “Just the experiences of having title runs and cup


    runs and hopefully a Champions League run will
    only add, hopefully, to handling pressure in certain
    situations,” Kane said while away on international
    duty.

    “If we are going to win anything with England we


    are going to have to deal with that. Me, being
    captain, I want to put myself in that position as
    much as possible.

    “Whether I win or not, the decision (to join Bayern)


    came down to putting me in those situations. With
    Bayern Munich sometimes we expect them to win
    because they have won it for the last 11 years.”

    3. Ousmane Dembele – €699,231


    (£597,577)

    The French winger left Barcelona after six up-and-


    down years to join his best mate Kylian Mbappe at
    the Parc des Princes.

    PSG aren’t paying him quite as much as they paid


    Neymar, who is somehow earning even more out in
    Saudi Arabia, but he’s not a million miles off.
    Dembele takes home about €36million a year.

    2. Frenkie de Jong – €721,154 (£616,313)

    Some of Barcelona’s economic levers and transfer


    activity have been a little eyebrow-raising – to say
    the least – amid their ongoing financial difficulties.

    But to be fair, in recent years they’ve gone to great


    efforts to reduce their wage bill dramatically,
    offloading long-serving players like Lionel Messi,
    Sergio Busquets, Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba.

    One remaining hangover of the Josep Maria


    Bartomeu is the hefty pay packet commanded by
    De Jong, who last signed an extension in October
    2020 after originally arriving in the summer of
    2019.

    The Netherlands international is an exceptional


    midfielder on his day but you imagine he’ll never
    earn more than this current deal, which runs until
    2026.

    1. Kylian Mbappe – €1,384,615


    (£1,183,321)

    No surprises here, is there?

    Mbappe looks as though he’ll actually, finally, leave


    PSG in the next year or two. But you imagine even
    Florentino Perez and Real Madrid might struggle to
    match these kind of wages, which blow everyone
    else in Europe out of the water.
