Top 5 highest paid Man City players: From De Bruyne to Aguero

Thanks to the Abu Dhabi United Group's takeover of the club in 2008, hefty sums of cash have been systematically pumped into the club since then, making Man City one of the richest clubs in the world. With that money, they've been able to assemble a world-class team. Players are signed from all around the world and given huge wages-per-week for their servic. Let's take a look at Manchester City's top five highest paid player.

#5 Kevin de Bruyne - £160,000-per-week

Despite his wages being as high as they are, one can't help but think he deserves more.

#4 David Silva - £160,000-per-week

Another player who deserves a higher salary is David Silva. Silva has been consistently great for eight years now - having joined Manchester City from Valencia in 2010 for £28m. 

#3 Raheem Sterling - £180,000-per-week

Since arriving from Liverpool for £49m in 2015, Sterling has been a force to be reckoned with on the right flank, but it's his end product that has let him down.

#2 Riyad Mahrez - £200,000-per-week

He was signed from Leicester this summer for a fee of around £60m. There were many clubs that were rumoured to be interested in the 28-year-old, but City's offer of £200,000-per-week was undoubtedly the highest salary on the table, so it would have been an easy decision.

#1 Sergio Aguero - £220,000-per-week

As most of you expected, in at first place with a staggering £220,000-per-week is none other than Sergio Aguero. The Argentine has been scoring for fun at the Etihad for a number of years now, with his most memorable goal being the one in 2012 that won the Cityzens the Premier League title in the dying embers of the final game of the season against QPR.
