Last summer, 35-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimović arrived at "Manchester United" as a free agent. This transfer cost "The Red Devils" almost nothing, but keeping the player on the team costs impressive amounts of money. As explained by the German press and Football Leaks, Z. Ibrahimovic is the highest-paid player in the Premier League. He will earn a total of 19 million pounds throughout the season. The player's weekly salary with the "Red Devils" is 367,640 thousand euros. For example, the most expensive footballer in the world, Paul Pogba, who also arrived at "Man Utd" last summer, will earn 8.6 million pounds sterling per season. Both P. Pogba and Z. Ibrahimović will receive corresponding bonuses - each goal scored will earn them an additional 2.86 million pounds sterling, while the Frenchman will receive a loyalty bonus of 3.4 million pounds. It was also revealed that agent Mino Raiola "pocketed" as much as 41 million pounds from P. Pogba's transfer, which amounted to 89 million pounds sterling. In total, Z. Ibrahimović will accumulate almost 22 million pounds sterling in his bank account during this season at "Man Utd". Even two of the brightest football stars - Cristiano Ronaldo ("Real") and Lionel Messi ("Barcelona") receive lower salaries in their clubs. Furthermore, if the injured Z. Ibrahimović stays in Manchester for the next season and "Man Utd" qualifies for the UEFA Champions League tournament, the striker would earn various bonuses for progressing to further stages: reaching the quarterfinals would mean an additional 500 thousand pounds sterling, the semifinals - 1.25 million, the final - 2.75, and winning the tournament - 5.25.
