Here is the list of the top 10 highest paid footballers in the premier league.
#10 Samir Nasri (Manchester City)
Nasri’s big money move to City made sure that his wages soared up. He currently earns £140k per week and rounds off the top 10 list.
He scored a goal on the last day of the 2013-14 campaign to help his team win the league.

#9 John Terry (Chelsea)
At the age of 33, Chelsea’s ‘Captain, Leader and Legend’ John Terry is the premier league’s highest paid defender.
He was back to his old self in the previous campaign and would be looking to carry on that form as long as possible.
He currently earns £150k per week.

#5 Luis Suarez (Barcelona)
Your star players need to be kept happy. And Liverpool kept their star man Suarez happy by handing him a £200k per week contract.
That contract extension put an end to all the speculation surrounding his immediate future and he brought Liverpool back in to the Champions League after a five year hiatus.

#3 Yaya Toure (Manchester City)
Yaya Toure also earns a staggering £200k per week and he isn’t even the highest paid player in the squad. Yaya was without a doubt City’s best player of the 2013-14 campaign which saw them win the league title twice in the span of three years.
Barcelona might be kicking themselves now for letting him go.

#2 Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)
Manchester City on their part have made their number 1 striker the highest paid player in the squad. Aguero earns £220k a week, and if he keeps giving the team moments like the stoppage time winner which won them the title in 2012, then surely his purse will keep getting bigger.

#1 Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
After all the confusion surrounding Rooney’s proposed move to Chelsea early in the season, Manchester United made sure they held on to their star man by making him sign a new five year contract worth £300k a week.
