=4) Casemiro (Manchester United) – £350,000 A Week
It is believed that the Brazilian almost doubled his salary when he left Real Madrid for Old Trafford last summer.
Casemiro has certainly proven to be a worthwhile addition so far but the fact that he is in the Premier League’s top five biggest earners does suggest United have, once again, paid over the odds.
We could have included Jadon Sancho on this list, with the England international being on similar wages, and it does show you how loose with the purse strings the Red Devils can be when negotiating deals with players.
