Top 5 highest paid Manchester City players in 2018

#2 Riyad Mahrez - £200,000-per-week

Riyad Mahrez.

Manchester City's latest signing Riyad Mahrez will seriously bolster their attack for the upcoming Premier League campaign. He was signed from Leicester this summer for a fee of around £60m. There were many clubs that were rumoured to be interested in the 27-year-old, but City's offer of £200,000-per-week was undoubtedly the highest salary on the table, so it would have been an easy decision.

Mahrez was also linked with Man City in January, but the deal fell through as Leicester refused to part with the Algerian.

His salary gives him the title of the second highest paid player at City, but for how long will he hold it?
