The figures were collected by football blogger Kieron O’Connor, who runs the Swiss Ramble Football Finance blog.

‘A little crazy’
While Haaland itself admitted that his salary was “a bit crazy” when his new ten-year agreement was announced in January, the wages of the best Prem stars are far below those of other sports stars around the world.
A study by Forbes Magazine posted Haaland 27th on the list of top earners when comparing him with greats such as Cristiano Ronaldo” Lionel Messi And Kylian Mbappe.
And his money fades in insignificance compared to NFLs Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomeswho signed a £ 410 million deal in 2021.
And last December the New York Mets Baseball team agreed to pay Slugger Juan Soto £ 628 million for a deal of 15 years.
Clubs must remain vigilant because there is still a lot of work to restore pre-building profitability
Aleksander Ceferin
Haaland’s departing teammate Kevin De Bruyne Has told earlier how he believes that top football players are underpaid, despite earning £ 400,000 a week.
When asked in 2022 whether he was paid too much, the Belgian was in connection with a move to Series A winners Napolireplied: “No. I compare it to a singer at a concert and 60,000 people come. I look at it logically.
“There are millions of people watching football on TV, there are 60,000 watching the matches, the income of a club are £ 500 million to £ 600 million. Yes, it is a lot of money, but is it too much?
“If the club can afford it, it’s not too much.”
In March, figures revealed the wages of players over Europe Had £ 15.1 billion reached in 2023/24, an increase of 6.5 percent on the previous year.
After the release of the latest UEFA Club Licensing Benchmarking Report, the president of the administrative body Aleksander Ceferin teams warned about paying excessive amounts to their players.
‘Players are the stars’
He said: “Although most clubs seem to manage the player’s wage, it is increasing in the right way, other costs rise rapidly, so that operational margins than ever exert more pressure. Clubs must remain vigilant, because there is still a lot of work to restore pre-buildness profitability.”
Premier League clubs have to pay or be confronted with punishment every year within the profit and sustainability rules (PSR).
Everton and Nottingham Forest were confronted with points deduction points for violating the rules.
In February it was reported Professional football players’ associationThose who acts for players threatened the Premier League with legal steps when he brought in a salary limit.
Clubs voted last year to explore the introduction of a spending cap from the start of the 2025/26 season as part of a new system of financial checks.
It will limit clubs to issuing 85 percent of their total income to wages, transfer benefits and agent costs.
Sponsor adviser Nigel Currie said: “The players are the stars, they are the talent and the reason why millions coordinate every week and buy the kits.
“The Premier League is enormously successful, the richest football competition in the world, and that will continue.
“There will be huge financial implications for players. Sponsorship will go through the roof in terms of value.”
