The Premier League It is the European competition that pays the best for its players due to the difference in economic potential between its clubs.
While it is true that Paris Saint Germain, Barça and Real Madrid have made multimillion-dollar contracts for players such as Mbappé, Messi, Neymar or Cristiano Ronaldoas a general rule in England it is paid better than other competitions and taking advantage of the Premier League’s last major television deal it is worth looking at who is the highest paid player in the English league.
Since John Barnes He was the highest paid player in the Premier League in the first two seasons of the competition (1992/93 and 1993/94), earning a little over 11,000 euros a weekthe situation is developing so much that currently the difference in Kevin de Bruynethe highest paid currently, is abysmal. The Belgian earns 465,000 euros per weekalthough in the history of the Premier it was not the biggest earner.
There is no contract as big as the Gareth Bale, although it has a catch. In 2020/21, the Welshman played at Tottenham for Real Madrid, who paid him part of 650,000 euros per week which the Welshman took. The next course is Cristiano Ronaldo who arrived in the Premier with a contract also higher than De Bruyne, won 560,000 euros per week.
Of all the players who have come through the Premier League each season, one player earned the highest fee for a season, in 2019/2020. Is about David De Gea, who received one of the biggest contracts after renewing for Manchester United and definitely finished last season. In particular, the former player of Atlético de Madrid took 436,000 euros per weekthat’s why he is now having a hard time finding a team because of his high financial needs.
