Top 5 earners in the Premier League
While Aston Villa players earn substantial salaries, their compensation is modest compared to the Premier League's top earners. The list is predictably led by the league's most prominent figures.
Erling Haaland of Manchester City tops the list, having secured a nine-year contract that extends his stay at the Etihad until 2034. Following him is fellow City player Kevin De Bruyne, with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah ranking third.
Casemiro represents Manchester United as the fourth highest earner, while Liverpool's captain Virgil Van Dijk completes the top five.
