The reigning Premier League Champions not only perform beyond expectations on the pitch but off the pitch, the Citizens are a financial powerhouse as well. Historically, Man City may not be as big as the likes of Liverpool or Manchester United, but since 2008, they have been a force to be reckoned with and it is purely down to the investments made by Sheikh Mansour, the owner of the Manchester City Football club.
According to the latest data by Forbes, Pep Guardiola's side is the fifth most valuable club in the world with neighbours, Manchester United getting the number one spot in this regard.
In the last eight years, Manchester City have been the most successful club in the land and are now one of the favourites to win the European competitions as well. The quality of players City has got in their ranks can turn any game on its head. They are also one of the squads with the highest paid earners in league with some earning over £200,000 a week salary.
The wage list divided into two parts - the moderate earners whose salary is £120,000 a week or less and the highest earners whose salary is more than £120,000 a week — all the data taken from Sportskeeda's list of player's wages.
The Moderate Earners
The players who fall in this bucket are both academy players and a few of the first team regulars. The highest among them is Aymeric Laporte who earns £120,000 a week. There are names like Rabbi Matondo whose future at Manchester City is in doubt after he rejected a new contract offer.
Leroy Sane is another player who is in this list and given his performances for Pep Guardiola's side this season; it would not come as a surprise if his wage increases in the coming years. The youngster, Phil Foden is one who is set to make it big and could be among the highest earners as he continues to grow under the guidance of some world class players in the side.

The Highest Earners
With the quality of players that Manchester City have got, it's always tough to pick one who could be called the highest earning player at the club. Hence, the Premier League Champions have joint top earners with both Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne bagging in a whopping £230,137 wage per week.
Among the others who earn slightly less than both of them are players like Raheem Sterling and David Silva who are an invaluable asset to the side and have bailed out the club on numerous occasions in the past. The Spaniard is now a legend in these parts of the country after spending nearly a decade at the club. The City captain, Vincent Kompany is also in this list earning almost £150k a week.
