Top 10 overpaid footballers in the world right now

#1 Oscar (£400,000-per-week)

Oscar moved to China in 2016

Brazilian playmaker Oscar surprised the football world after deciding to move to Shanghai SIPG from Chelsea in 2016. He earns £400,000 per week, as per his current contract with the club.

Aged only 26, it is astonishing how Oscar sacrificed the big tournaments like the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League to play in an undervalued contest that offers almost negligible competition. No wonder his transfer was deemed to be triggered by the money offered to him.

Make no mistake, Oscar has all the qualities you would want to see in an attacking midfielder. But the salary he earns is far more than what he actually deserves. Currently, his wages are even better than Cristiano Ronaldo, who outclasses him by miles in almost every footballing aspect we can think of.

Isn't that fact enough to deem him an overpaid footballer?
