The Highest Paid Premier League Players In 2026-27
10. Kai Havertz – Arsenal – £280,000 Per Week
One of the stars of Premier League betting favourites Arsenal, attacking midfielder Kai Havertz reportedly banks a cool £280,000 per week. That figure equates to approximately £14.5million over the course of the year before tax.
Havertz joined the Gunners in 2023 from London rivals Chelsea. To date, the 27-year-old has scored 36 goals in 111 appearances across all competitions. Havertz was part of the side who won the title in 2025-26.
9. Ryan Gravenberch – Liverpool – £280,000 Per Week
Pocketing exactly the same as Kai Havertz, Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is one of the highest paid Premier League players going into the new season. The Dutchman was pivotal in leading the Reds to the title in 2024-25 under the guidance of Arne Slot.
Gravenberch penned his mega-money deal on March 7, 2026 and it has six-years to run before it expires. The 24-year-old has been at Anfield since 2023 and will be integral to new manager Andoni Iraola’s plans for 2026-27.
8. Alexander Isak – Liverpool – £280,000 Per Week
The third and final Premier League star to be paid £280,000 per week is Liverpool striker Alexander Isak. After a well-documented fallout with former employers Newcastle, Isak’s maiden campaign on Merseyside was largely forgettable.
Having missed pre-season after trying to engineer his move to Anfield, he rarely featured at the start of 2025-26 and once he did get going, he was injured at Tottenham in December whilst scoring one of his four goals. However, the Sweden star is expected to have a much better impact in the new season.
7. Omar Marmoush – Man City – £295,000 Per Week
The first of three Man City stars to feature in the highest paid Premier League players list is Omar Marmoush. His gross pay packet per annum is a stunning £15.3million before tax and has recently returned from the World Cup with Egypt.
Ahead of the new season, the Premier League odds list City as the second-favourite title favourites. And if the 27-year-old hits the ground running in his first full-season at the Etihad, Enzo Maresca’s side could well be celebrating an 11th domestic title.
6. Bruno Fernandes – Man United – £300,000 Per Week
It goes without saying that Bruno Fernandes is Man United’s best player and his pay packet truly reflects a star of his status. The Portuguese assist king has often single-handedly carried the Red Devils through some dark times in recent years.
Having led United back into the Champions League, Bruno will be imperative once more on the European stage. Last season, he broke the Premier League assist record having set-up an impressive 21 goals in England’s elite.
5. Jack Grealish – Man City – £300,000 Per Week
With the latest transfer odds suggesting a move away from Man City is likely this summer, Jack Grealish will be hard pushed to find a suitor for his £300,00 per week wages. The English winger has just 12 months to run on his Etihad deal he signed five years ago.
A loan spell at Everton proved rather fruitful last season. However, his season was cut short via injury in February 2026. Not only is Grealish one of the highest paid Premier League players, he also features in the most expensive Premier League transfers of all-time list.
4. Marcus Rashford – Man United – £300,000 Per Week
The Marcus Rashford next club odds market here on BetVictor has undertaken plenty of movement in recent weeks owing to the speculation surrounding his future. Nonetheless, Rashford is set to carry on banking £300,000 per week at Man United until at least June 2028.
The winger/forward spent last season on loan at Barcelona whereby he helped the Catalan giants to the LaLiga title. Rashford chipped in with a moderate 14 goals across 49 appearances in all competitions.
3. Bukayo Saka – Arsenal – £300,000 Per Week
England and Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is the fourth Premier League star to earn £300,00 per week. The right-winger signed his new deal in February of this year which means he is the Gunners’ highest-paid player.
Last season, Saka helped the Gunners to the title which was just the second major honour of his career. He chipped in with 11 goals in 49 appearances across all competitions and will be crucial for Mikel Arteta again in 2026-27.
2. Virgil Van Dijk – Liverpool – £350,000 Per Week
The only defender on the list is Liverpool goliath Virgil van Dijk. The Dutchman is paid a handsome £350,000 per week and is widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s greatest-ever center-backs. However, his best years appear behind him.
Van Dijk struggled last season and he will be hoping for a much better campaign under Andoni Iraola this term. Standing at 6’5″, VVD has just turned 35 but his experience and all-action displays often inspire those around him.
1. Erling Haaland – Man City – £525,000 Per Week
The highest paid Premier League player is Manchester City striker Erling Haaland. Having broken numerous goalscoring records for club and country, Haaland is head and shoulders above the rest in the pay packet category, earning an eye-watering £525,000 per week.
That equated to £27.3million per year before tax. According to Capology, Haaland also collects an estimated bonus of £18.2m. The Norway superstar signed his most recent contract in January 2026 which will run until the summer of 2034.
