#3 Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid) - £342,307 / week
Atletico Madrid have made steady gains in recent years, progressing from a mid-table La Liga side into one of the genuine heavyweights of European football, winning a couple of trophies and making it to two Champions League finals.
This newfound pedigree expectedly rubbed off on their finances and Los Rojiblancos soon found themselves in the upper echelons of football's elite.
One key member of their squad in recent years has been former Real Sociedad man Antoine Griezmann, who has performed at an optimal level since his 2014 arrival from the Anoeta, twice finishing in third place at the Ballon d'Or votes.
It, therefore, came as no surprise to see the World Cup winner linked with a move away from the Wanda, with Griezmann turning down a move to Manchester United in 2017 after it was revealed that Atletico could not replace him due to their transfer ban.
The speculations however continued, and Barcelona were the next in line - making a serious €100m bid for him, which was turned down.
Just days after helping France to triumph at the 2018 World Cup, Griezmann penned new terms with Atleti, with details revealing he pockets £342,307 weekly and fans of the club would hope that this would serve as incentive enough for him to lead them to the much sought after Champions League title.
