#6 Fernandinho (Midfielder) - £150,000/week
Contracted until: 30/06/2020
Manchester City's midfield mainstay, Fernandinho, has now been at the club for 5 seasons and has regularly featured in each of those seasons. In fact, he has made 42+ appearances in each of those 5 seasons.
The midfielder's solidity is now perfectly complemented by Kevin De Bruyne's brilliance in midfield, as the duo has wreaked havoc over most other teams this season. The Brazilian is the team's sixth-highest paid star and will look to finish the season with a flourish.
He's the perfect defensive presence, isn't he?
#5 Raheem Sterling (Forward) - £180,000/week
Contracted until: 30/06/2020
Former Liverpool star, Raheem Sterling, was always a promising talent. Ever since he stepped foot on the pitch at Anfield, a lot has been expected of him. Over the last 4 seasons, Sterling has scored 10+ goals, suggesting that he was beginning to deliver the performances expected of him.
This season, the Englishman seems to have elevated his game to the next level altogether, as he has been in scintillating form, scoring 21 goals from 38 appearances in all competitions. Notably, he mustered as many goals in two whole seasons before that.
The 23-year-old has been one of City's finest players this season and is also their fifth-highest paid player.
Raheem Sterling can be simply electrifying, while on song.
