Manchester City's 2026/27 salary structure reveals Erling Haaland as the club's highest earner by a significant margin. The Norwegian striker commands £525,000 per week, nearly double the wages of his closest teammate Omar Marmoush. This comes as the club prepares for a new era under Enzo Maresca following Pep Guardiola's departure.
Who are Manchester City's top earners?
Haaland's weekly wage of £525,000 places him far ahead of the pack. Phil Foden follows at £280,000 per week, with Omar Marmoush at £295,000. The £250,000-per-week tier includes Gianluigi Donnarumma, Elliot Anderson, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and Marc Guehi. Rodri, currently sidelined, earns £220,000 weekly. The club's final 2025 Premier League standing (2nd place, 64 points) reflects their continued dominance despite Guardiola's exit.
How does this compare to last season?
The salary structure shows significant increases for several players. Josko Gvardiol received a substantial pay rise to £250,000 per week, while new signings like Elliot Anderson and Omar Marmoush command top wages. The team's goal difference of +35 last season (63 scored, 28 conceded) highlights their attacking prowess, led by Haaland.
What does this mean for the new season?
With Enzo Maresca at the helm, Manchester City will look to maintain their high standards. The club's next fixture against Newcastle on February 20, 2027, will be a key test. The salary list suggests Maresca has a strong squad at his disposal, though he'll need to manage expectations as they chase a fifth consecutive Premier League title.
