#2 Graziano Pelle - £290,000/week
It looked like Graziano Pelle's career, financially, had gone way past its better days. He was plying his trade at Southampton before he made the move to Shadong Luneng in the summer of 2016.
In 10 appearances this season, he has scored only 2 goals although he has laid out 4 assists. His underwhelming performances since making the move has made the club question their decisions in the transfer market.
It has been rumoured that Graziano Pelle is set to be sold by the Chinese Super League outfit who are looking to cash in on the player when they can. It wouldn't make sense for them to keep him on top of their payroll for what the Italian has to offer.
