Manchester City is at the center of all fans’ attention as they are seriously preparing for the new season. Since the beginning of the year, Josep Guardiola, having made a number of major changes in the squad, intends to return the team to the level where it will again compete for trophies.
In fact, the experienced Spanish specialist and his reliable coaching staff have already determined the main core of the team over the past months. At the moment, it is planned which players can be relied on, who will play a key role in the future, and who may leave the squad. Sporting director Hugo Viana is actively working on transfer matters: selling players considered surplus, as well as providing loan opportunities for young and talented footballers for their development.
One of the authoritative sources — lentedesportiva.com expert Oliver Obel — has published interesting information about the players’ salaries in 2025. This list clearly shows the club’s financial discipline and hierarchy.
Manchester City’s salary policy is based on the club’s financial power and long-term strategy. Of course, Erling Haaland, with a huge salary, is at the top of the list. However, there are also young promising stars in the squad who currently earn less but continue to work hard to raise their rating and earn big contracts.
