Top 5 Earners in the Chinese Super League: Does Fellaini make the cut?

#1 Oscar (Shanghai SIPG): £400,000 a week

Oscar's salary is head and shoulders above his peers in the CSL

The Brazilian who was once looked upon as the successor to Kaka’s throne has spectacularly slipped into the wilderness. After four relatively successful years at Chelsea, he decided to spend the prime years of his career in China and he currently takes home an eye-watering salary of £400,000.

Oscar left Chelsea in 2016 and has been ruling the Chinese footballing circuit since then. Playing for Shanghai SIPG alongside his compatriot, Hulk, he has wreaked havoc.

At 27 years of age, Oscar still has time to re-establish himself as one of the premier European clubs. Yet, a £400,000 salary surely won’t be matched at any of those clubs.

Thus, one can expect Oscar to be gracing the CSL for years to come and he rightfully takes his place at the top of our list.
