The average salary that Premier League clubs pay to players has now increased by more than 50,000 pounds/week compared to the same period last year. In general, the Premier League is the tournament that pays the highest player in the world. However, if we look specifically at the clubs, the top 3 names do not have any representatives of England.
The first team, Barcelona, currently has an average salary paid to players of up to 6.6 million pounds/year. The most prominent of which is the £500,000/week contract that Messi is being offered for signing ( El Puga agreed in July 2017 but has not yet officially signed).
The next name is PSG. Since the 222 million Euro deal to welcome Neymar to Parc de Princes, this team certainly has a great chance of survival, especially for the Brazilian striker. The average salary paid in a year to PSG players is only 100,000 pounds behind Barca (down to about 6.5 million pounds).
Real Madrid is in 3rd place. Los Blancos have an average annual salary of £6.2 million. Meanwhile, the team ranked highest in the Premier League according to this criterion is Man United with a figure of 5.2 million pounds, far behind the 3 names above.
However, the top 3 position may be broken and the one to do so is expected to be Manchester City. The Citizens are in extremely good form, ready to break all barriers to move towards titles. When Man City win the Premier League or Champions League, the salary for each key player will certainly increase. Because in each signed contract, the player always has a clause that if he plays well and has a specific contribution, the club must have an obligation to increase salary.
Although they have not been able to make it into the top 3 highest-paid clubs in the world. However, in the list of 10 teams considering this criterion, the Premier League also has 4 representatives including 2 teams in Manchester, Chelsea and Arsenal. More broadly, in the top 20, the Premier League also has Liverpool, Tottenham, West Ham, Everton and Leicester City.
Although Man United is far behind Real, PSG or Barcelona in terms of salary, if we consider the general level, the Premier League is far behind other tournaments. The Premier League currently has an average salary paid to a player in this tournament of 2.64 million pounds/year. Meanwhile, the figure for La Liga is 1.68 million pounds, Serie A is 1.33 million pounds, Bundesliga is 1.26 million pounds and League-1 is 944,000 pounds.
