It totals £13,920,000 per year. Let's say £14m.
Problem is when you compare this to the US it's small fry.
People like LeBron James and Stephen Curry in the NBA are on three times that.
Mike Trout and Clayton Kershaw in the MLB is on twice that (I appreciate dollars but still a huge gap).
If you look at Forbes highest 100 paid sport stars of 2018 Robinson Cano who plays second baseman for Mariners is on 23.5m dollars a year and he is not even regarded as the best in the league.
So, yes its eye watering, but he is one of the PL's top stars and he is way way off what the worlds top stars earn.
Not sure what my point really is but it does show that, in general, football is behind US sports for pay to top stars.

Of course he doesn't, I imagine he's weighing up a move to China so he can get above the magical 500k per week figure!

Yes, he is essentially getting the transfer fee they didn’t have to pay paid to him in wages but he must sometimes see his bank statement and feel slightly embarrassed
Or maybe not

True, but it's a bit difficult to reduce a players wages when they are playing like a cunt. Sanchez joined man Utd after a couple of very good seasons at arsenal and cost a lot less as his contract was running down,which usually equals a far higher than normal wage.

Isn’t Alexis Sanchez on £400,000 a week?
Kante is at least performing well

All this extra revenue the premier league is getting. Keeps filtering down to the players and the agents. Disgraceful. When will it stop?
On the other hand, we cant pay Rice 40k a week.
