Varane has had to deal with his fair share of injuries since joining United. But when fit, he has proven to be quite sure-footed. Varane has played 70 games so far for United, scoring twice and winning the EFL Cup in the 2022-23 season.
#4 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – $22.58 Million
Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah is the highest-earning winger in the English Premier League, with him making a cool $22.58 million per year.
The Egypt international joined the Reds from AS Roma in a €42 million ($44.21 million) deal in July 2017. The right-winger has since played 313 matches in all competitions, scoring 190 times and providing 83 assists.

The Norwegian is currently earning a whopping $24.2 million per year at City, making him the second-highest earner in England.
Haaland has been a phenomenon since joining City last year. In his debut season, the former Borussia Dortmund striker netted 52 times and claimed nine assists in 53 games across competitions. He finished as the top scorer in the Premier League as well as the UEFA Champions League and helped his new employers to a historic Treble. The 23-year-old has been in sensational form this season as well, with him bagging eight goals and two assists in 11 games across competitions.
