Y

esterday, Alexis Sanchez, who officially moved to "Manchester United", signed a contract of impressive value - according to various sources, his weekly salary ranges from 400 to 500 thousand pounds sterling, with the most realistic sum being 450 thousand pounds.

In any case, this contract is undoubtedly record-breaking, as no football player in the "Premier" league has earned so much money before.

Previously, Wayne Rooney, who moved to Liverpool's "Everton", used to receive 300 thousand pounds per week, so the Chilean's maintenance will be significantly more expensive than other football players.

Interestingly, three other "Man United" members rank behind Sanchez in terms of the highest salaries. They are Paul Pogba, who earns 290 thousand pounds per week, Radamel Falcao, who used to earn 260 thousand pounds in the 2014-15 season, and the current team's striker Romelu Lukaku, who earns 250 thousand pounds.

The salary of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, which amounts to 220 thousand pounds per week, is the same as that of "Manchester City" stars Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure. However, Kevin De Bruyne, who has signed a new contract, is set to earn around 250 thousand pounds per week.

For comparison, Sanchez's weekly salary at London's "Arsenal" was 140 thousand pounds sterling, while Lionel Messi, who earns the most in the world, makes around 500 thousand pounds per week.
