THE Premier League’s highest-earning players and managers have been revealed – with one surprise inclusion.
French publication L’Equipe has looked at which stars take home the most amount of money each week.
And it’s no surprise that Manchester City striker Erling Haaland tops the list by quite a margin.
The 24-year-old put pen to paper on a huge nine-and-a-half year deal earlier this year.
In doing so, he also increased his weekly wage from £375,000 to £500,000.
Also joining Haaland on the rich list are players from Liverpool and Manchester United.
As already mentioned, Haaland earns the most money in the Premier League by far.
L’Equipe has revealed that he takes home an estimated gross monthly salary of around £2.2million.
That includes guaranteed add-ons, loyalty bonuses and image rights payments.
Ranked second in the list is Haaland’s Man City team-mate Kevin De Bruyne.

The 33-year-old is currently estimated to be earning £1.7m monthly, which equates to £432,000-a-week.
However, he might not be making that for much longer.
De Bruyne has been heavily linked with a move away from the Etihad this summer, with his contract set to expire in June.
He is yet to agree terms for a new deal with the Cityzens.
Joint-third in the rankings are Casemiro and Mohamed Salah.
Brazil midfielder Casemiro became Man Utd’s highest earner when he joined the club in a £70m transfer from Real Madrid in 2022.
And he recently revealed that he intends to see out his contract despite receiving criticism from fans for his underwhelming form.
Meanwhile, Liverpool fans are hoping that Salah extends his stay at Anfield.
The winger’s contract is due to expire in June and he is yet to agree terms for a renewal.
Both Casemiro and Salah pocket £1.5m-a-month, which works out as £376,250-per-week.
Joint-fifth on the list are loan stars Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling.
The duo each take home £1.4m every month (£349,000-a-week) which is split between their parent club and their loan club.
United allegedly pay 75% of Rashford’s wages, with Aston Villa covering the rest.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are covering the bulk of Sterling’s earnings, with Arsenal paying a smaller amount.
With Haaland topping the player rich list, his Man City boss Pep Guardiola leads the manager list.
The Spaniard is reported to be earning £1.7m-a-month, which equates to £416,000-a-week.
Meanwhile, his former assistant and current Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is the second highest-earning boss in the Prem.
The Gunners boss allegedly banks £1.2m every month (£309,000 weekly) at the Emirates.
And arguably the most surprising inclusion across both lists is that of David Moyes.
The 61-year-old returned to Goodison Park earlier this year following the departure of Sean Dyche.
L’Equipe has reported that Moyes earns £1m every month (£257,000-a-week).
The Scot has enjoyed an impressive start to his time at Everton, lifting the club away from the relegation zone.
