In recent times, clubs have been splashing some massive cash to get their desired players and hand them some heavy deals.
The upcoming summer would see a lot of transfer records broken as some promising players would be on the move across Europe. Evidently, the clubs would try to keep the hold their stars by handing them improved contracts
Alternatively, the form of such players has made their wages look like a bargain.
Here are the players who look set to sign some improved and mouth-watering deals ahead of this summer.
All the wage figures have been sourced from sillyseason.com
#5 Samuel Umtiti - £75,000-a-week
Reports suggest that the Barcelona centre-back, Samuel Umtiti has threatened to leave the club to join Manchester United.
The player is believed to be asking for a pay rise that would see him earning more than € nine million-a-year. Manchester United have deeply been interested in the French international in recent months.
Reports suggested that United were willing to trigger his buy-out clause which stands close to £54 million. The Frenchman was an absolute steal for Barcelona and wants himself to be paid professionally well for his performances.
Valverde would be looking forward to hand the player his desired wages which he absolutely deserves. His demands would see his wage rise substantially over the few months.
#4 Raheem Sterling - £1,80,000-a-week
Raheem Sterling has been one of the best players for Manchester City in their terrific 2017/18 season.
The 23-year-old appears to be enjoying life under the Spanish boss and looks to have found his stride, he missed since moving to the Etihad.
The English forward has scored 21 goals and created 11 for his team this season, so far. His form has attracted the interest of some big-guns from across Europe.
According to the latest reports, Manchester City are preparing a huge contract worth £300,000-a-week for the player which would make him the top-earner at the club.
#3 Harry Kane - £100,000-a-week
Yes! The best striker on the planet earns not even half of what Romelu Lukaku does.
The England international is one of the hottest properties in Europe at the moment. His consistency over the last couple of years reflects in his tremendous goalscoring record.
This season, Kane has netted 35 times in 40 appearances in all competitions. His minute-per-goal ratio is a staggering 0.93. He boasts one of the best conversion rates in Europe.
He would surely be on the radar of all the European heavyweights who are looking for a top quality striker.
Offers worth £300 million are believed to be lined up for the player. Daniel Levy would be highly reluctant to sell Kane and reportedly negotiating terms with his camp which would see him earn the twice of his current pay at least.
#2 Mohamed Salah - £120,000-a-week
Salah has been the find of the season for sure in Europe. The Egyptian winger is into his second spell in England and has set the league on fire since his arrival.
The winger has scored 38 goals and provided 13 assists so far. He is leading the scoring charts in England and challenging the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the European Golden Shoe
However, the winger's form may not be the best news for the Reds as Europe's elite are believed to have their eyes on the player.
If reports are to be believed, Real Madrid, PSG, and Barcelona are eyeing a move for the player in the summer in a record deal worth £200 million.
Reports in England state that Liverpool have planned to hand the player an improved contract worth £200,000-a-week to keep a hold of him.
#1 David de Gea - £200,000-a-week
At that wage, the player is nothing but a steal. Arguably the best goalkeeper in the business at the moment is in the form of his life and appears to be unbeatable. The Spaniard has 16 clean sheets in the league in so far, this season and leads the charts.
The goalkeeper came close to joining Real Madrid back in 2015 only to be denied by some faulty fax machine.
Since then, the Spaniard has established himself as arguably the best goalkeeper in the world and "De Gea to Real Madrid" has become a staple for transfer rumour columns the world over since then.
Reports in Spain suggest that a £100 million deal is being prepared to lure the 27-year-old to the Spanish capital this summer. However, Mourinho is in no mood to part ways with the star.
His current deal expires at the end of 2018/19 season. As per the reports, Manchester United are currently holding talks with the player for a five-year deal which would pump his wages nearly 1.5 times to £350,000-a-week.
Honorable mentions to Paulo Dybala, Gabriel Jesus, Anthony Martial who are also in-line for big-money deals
