Kevin De Bruyne is the highest earner at Manchester City, according to sources at Football Insider. In a recent episode of Football Insider’s Insider Track Podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that De Bruyne earns more than superstar Erling Haaland, who is a key player for Pep Guardiola’s team.
De Bruyne signed his latest contract with City in May 2021 and is often considered the standout player for the Citizens. Despite Haaland’s contributions to the team’s success, including helping win a historic treble last season, De Bruyne’s salary surpasses his. While Haaland reportedly earns £865,000-a-week with achievable bonuses, De Bruyne’s base salary is £375,000-a-week.
De Bruyne’s contract with City is set to expire in 2025, and there have been rumors linking him to a potential move to the Saudi Pro League for a mega-money deal. Despite his undeniable impact on the club, with 98 goals and 165 assists in 369 appearances since joining from Wolfsburg in 2015, De Bruyne has struggled with injuries in recent years, missing 35 games since the start of last season.
Currently, Manchester City sits second in the Premier League with a 12-game unbeaten run. Their next match is against league leaders Liverpool at Anfield. In other news, the club has agreed to a ground-breaking deal that has been likened to the Kardashians, according to a former Premier League CEO.
