Welcome football fans, we are here with the list of Top 5 highest-paid players in the Premier League in 2025. Some of the players in this list are not just one of the best players for their respective sides, but also one of the best in the entire Premier League as well. On the other hand, there are some names in this that'll absolutely shock you and make you wonder how they are earning this much considering what they contribute to their team. Whether each player in this deserves their Premier League weekly salary is a subject thing, and we'd like you to comment your opinions down after looking at the list. Let's not waste any more time then, scroll down below to find out the top 5 highest-paid players in Premier League in 2025
Premier League players salary per week in 2025 - The top 5
Raheem Sterling (Chelsea, Weekly Wage: £325,000)
This is one of the last names anyone would expect in such a list, as Raheem Sterling is basically a forgotten name at this point. He has gone from being one of the League's best ever forwards to someone who's now basically kicked out by his club. Even a loan spell at Arsenal under Mikel Arteta couldn't revive his career. Chelsea desperately tried to sell him in this year's Summer Transfer window, but the English winger kept refusing and insisted on staying. Now you know the reason behind it.
Casemiro (Manchester United, Weekly wage: £350,000)
Casemiro has had a wild stint at Manchester United ever since Ruben Amorim took over. He has gone from being completely ignored by the coach to now an integral part of his current Manchester United side. The major question though, is whether Casemiro is contributing enough to earn a staggering £350,000 per week, and the answer is probably no. Another major concern is that he's already 33 and in decline, thus making the £350,000 per week seem like an even bigger waste.
Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool, Weekly wage: £350,000)
It's extremely rare in the Premier League for a 34-year old to be amongst the best paid players, and that too a defender. This would basically mean that the player has to be a special one, and he indeed is. Virgil Van Dijk is arguably the best defender in the Premier League's modern era, and has undoubtedly played a major role in Liverpool's historic triumphs under both Klopp and now Slot.
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, Weekly wage: £400,000)
Mohamed Salah had the greatest individual season of his career last year in Arne Slot's first season in-charge of the Reds. This led to Liverpool breaking their usual renewal rules and giving a brand new bumper contract to Salah despite him being towards the end of his peak. Now 33, Salah has drastically declined this season and we can see that he is not the same physically this campaign. One has to wait and see if he makes a grand comeback that can justify the wages he's earning right now.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City, Weekly wage: £525,000)
Imagine earning half a million per week in the Premier League by just scoring goals for fun? Sounds like the dream job doesn't it? This is what Erling Haaland does and who could blame Manchester City for paying him such numbers when his goalscoring stats are not even comparable to the rest. Haaland is a machine, and Manchester City are extremely lucky to have him. The way he's scoring right now, don't be surprised if he leads Manchester City to another historic Premier League title triumph.
