The performance of each player is what determines his salary. Higher performing footballers seem to earn higher amounts of money. These are the 5 highest-paid players in the English Premier League in 2023 according to The Sun Football.
1. Erling Haaland - Norwegian footballer earns £865,000 a week at Manchester City. Scoring 52 goals and having 9 assists in 52 games is a clear testament to his hard work.
2. Kevin De Bruyne - Belgian attacking midfielder always ensures more creativity every season. His weekly salary at Manchester City is £400,000.
3. Mohamed Salah - Liverpool winger has always proven himself to be the club's best player. He scored 30 goals and provided 16 assists in the 2022/2023 season. His weekly salary at Liverpool is £400,000.
4. Marcus Rashford - The signing of a 5-year contract until 2028 makes him the 4th highest paid player in the English Premier League. His weekly salary at Manchester United is £375,000.

According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, Atalanta star Rasmus Hojlund has told his club he wants to leave this summer after agreeing terms with Manchester United.
Rasmus Hojlund tells Atalanta that he wants to leave; Personal agreement with Manchester United
MU is in dire need of a striker
No doubt:
Manchester United are desperate to sign a striker this summer.
When Cristiano Ronaldo, who perhaps caused more problems than it solved, suddenly left in November 2022, the Red Devils were left with very few options ahead.
Anthony Martial was their only natural-born striker at the time, and his injury record made it a risky move to put their main goal-scoring hopes on his shoulders.
On loan during the January transfer window, Wout Weghorst floundered during his time at Old Trafford and failed to score in 17 Premier League appearances. The lack of a clear goal threat up front has affected Erik ten Hag's side significantly as they scored the fewest league goals of any side to break into the top six last season.
Rasmus Hojlund approaches Manchester United
Now, however, with Mason Mount and Andre Onana seemingly coming, United have finally turned their attention to signing a striker.
Fabrizio Romano reports that the Red Devils are preparing an offer for Hojlund, who is valued at around £61m by Atalanta, after agreeing personal terms with him.
David Ornstein's report goes even further, claiming that Dane has told his club he wants to leave this summer, with United and PSG set to battle for his signature.
