#4 Manchester City - £262 million
Top earner: Kevin de Bruyne (£260,000-per-week)
Trending
Manchester City has been spending heavily under Spanish boss Pep Guardiola. City's wage bill rose by more than 6.25% in January after the signing of Aymeric Laporte and Kevin de Bruyne's new contract.
Man City have handed a new contract to their star-man de Bruyne which makes puts him third on the list of top earners.
Yaya Toure would be a free agent this summer. His hefty wages would be wiped out along with Vincent Kompany's while youngsters like Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling are believed to be up for new deals.
Thus, a further increase in the figures is expected as Guardiola would be looking at bolstering his squad to challenge for every trophy.
