#7 Hulk (Shanghai SIPG)
Brazilian striker Hulk has been a constant presence amongst the world's highest earners in soccer. He joined Chinese outfit Shanghai SIPG for a £45 million fee in 2016. His transfer from Zenit St. Petersburg was the highest Asian transfer back then, broken by the arrival of his international teammate Oscar to China.

The 31-year-old currently merits an annual income of £17.6 million according to the Spanish tabloid Marca.
Hulk has taken the Chinese Super League by storm, netting 34 times in 52 games for the club in all competitions.
In 2017, the Brazilian forward expressed his dream to play in the Premier League, citing the competition in England as the major factor triggering his desire. However, it remains to be seen whether any of the Premier League heavyweights can succeed in bringing him back to Europe.
