8) Bayern Munich – £225m
Trending
To say that Bayern Munich dominate the Bundesliga would be an understatement. The Bavarian club are miles ahead of any other side in Germany and have won the last five Bundesliga titles in a row (2012/13 to 2016/17).
It has reached a point where any coach who takes over the club is expected to win the title now and winning just a league title does not count as a successful season. It is partly their doing too as they poach the best talents from other German clubs and lure them with higher wages.
The highest earning player at the club is Robert Lewandowski at £140K per week. One of the main reasons he left Borussia Dortmund was because he felt he wasn’t being given his due because he was Polish and not German.
At Bayern, he is top dog followed by Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben, and the retiring Philipp Lahm who are on close to £140K per week as well. Mats Hummels, Thomas Muller, Arturo Vidal, and Manuel Neuer earn around £130K per week.
