Top 6 overpaid players in the world

FC Barcelona v Chelsea FC - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg
Dembele has to do more to justify his wages

#1 Oscar - £400,000/week

AFC Champions League 2017 - Shanghai SIPG FC (CHN) vs Sukhothai FC (THA)
Oscar is making a lot of money in China

There really is no logical explanation to this. There really was no logical explanation when the young Brazilian decided to move to the Chinese Super League from Chelsea. But you can't be blamed for thinking he was motivated by financial reasons.

Oscar is paid a whopping £400,000 per week at Shanghai SIPG. The Chinese have been investing heavily in the sport and have been offering stunning amounts of money to lure some of the top talent in the world.

Of course, Oscar is greatly talented but paying him more money than the Cristiano Ronaldos and Griezmanns of the world is unjustifiable.
