The Premier League's 11 best-paid players for the 2026/27 season include three Manchester City stars, according to estimated figures published by Capology. The data covers basic salaries only and excludes bonuses and sponsorship deals.
Top earners revealed
The list, compiled by the Express, ranks players by their weekly wages. Liverpool's Alexander Isak, Ryan Gravenberch, Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford each earn £300,000 per week, an annual salary of £15.6million.
Phil Foden is the first Manchester City player on the list, also on £300,000 weekly. The England international was named Premier League Player of the Season in 2023/24 and signed a new contract in July 2026, running until June 2030.
Manchester City context
The club's presence among the top earners comes amid ongoing financial scrutiny. In September 2026, an independent commission found Manchester City guilty of serious breaches of the Premier League's financial rules over a nine-season period. The club has appealed the decision, insisting it is innocent, while potential punishments remain unresolved.
The remaining players on the list will be revealed in the full article, which notes that Premier League clubs regularly spend tens of millions on transfers, with some deals exceeding £100million.
