T6 Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea) - £150,000 per week
It is sometimes hard to believe that current Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga holds the title of being the world's most expensive shot-stopper. The Spanish goalkeeper has had a torrid spell with Chelsea which has seen him often losing his spot in the starting XI to Willy Caballero and now new signing Edouard Mendy.
Kepa has a poor record in the Premier League and in 72 appearances has let in 92 goals while managing just 22 clean sheets. The player is just 26 and can still turn around his career, but it's difficult to imagine that his wages will go up any further from the current £150,000 per week at Chelsea.
#T6 Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid) - £150,000 per week
Belgium No.1 Thibaut Courtois had a memorable 2019-20 campaign in which he kept 18 clean sheets while conceding just 20 goals in his 34 La Liga appearances. His solid performances between the sticks was a big reason for Real Madrid's title triumph.
The Genk Academy graduate has grown into one of the best shot-stoppers in the world and is especially good at making insane reflex saves. He has enjoyed a lot of success in domestic leagues, winning the La Liga and Premier League twice so far but is yet to shine in the UEFA Champions League.
He currently earns £150,000 a week with Los Blancos under a contract that will keep him in Madrid until 2024, but if he keeps up his standards this season, he will surely be up for a raise.
#5 Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich) - £259,000 per week
Manuel Neuer will go down as one of the best goalkeepers in the history of the game thanks to his incredible performances between the sticks, impressive trophy cabinet, and most importantly because of his role in redefining the role of sweeper-keeper in the modern game.
He is one of the most decorated players of our generation and has won everything there is to win for both the club and country, with the exception of the European Championship with Germany.
His involvement in Bayern Munich's treble win last season made him part of only a handful of players in the history of European football to have achieved the feat of winning the treble twice.
The 35-year-old Neuer joined Bayern in the summer of 2011 and since then has been voted World’s Best Goalkeeper four times. He recently agreed to a new contract with the club that will keep him in the Bundesliga through 2023 and is set to earn £259,000 per week, making him the second-highest earner in the league behind Robert Lewandowski.
#4 Sergio Rico (Paris Saint-Germain) - £282,728 per week
Paris Saint-Germain's Sergio Rico is a talented goalkeeper, as he has proven in his spells with Sevilla, Fulham and now PSG, but he certainly seems like the odd-man-out among the other more accomplished goalkeepers on the list.
The Spain international had two back-to-back loan spells first with Fulham in the 2018-19 season and later with PSG last season from Sevilla. He impressed in his limited starts for the Parisians so much that the club agreed to sign him on a permanent deal in September that will keep him at the club until 2024. Only PSG can hand their second choice goalkeeper a £282,728 a week contract.
