Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland are Manchester City's highest-earners.
De Bruyne and Haaland take home whopping weekly wages of PS400,000 and PS375,000 respectively - making them the club's higest-paid players.
The dynamic duo are Manchester City's two biggest names - which explains why they earn the most in comparison to every other player. De Bruyne has been one of the best players in the world for over a decade while Haaland is a brand in himself while also arguably being the finest striker on the planet.
According to a report by GiveMeSport, members of the hierarchy at Manchester City are keen on ensuring that Rodri - who currently earns PS220,000-a-week takes home similar weekly wages to De Bruyne and Haaland - as the club aims to tie him down to a contract extension until 2029 after Euro 2024 comes to an end.
