Nine European footballers earning the most per month © JP PARIENTE/SIPA

Kylian Mbappe is dominating in Europe this year in terms of salary, but it's unclear how it will be next season when he, apparently, moves to Real Madrid.

According to "Transfermarkt" data, K. Mbappe with a monthly salary of 6 million euros is the highest-paid football player in Europe.

The 25-year-old Frenchman nearly triples the closest pursuer Harry Kane, who earns 2.1 million euros per month.

3rd and 4th place are held by the Manchester City duo Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland.

Quite unexpectedly, 5th place goes to Real defender David Alaba with a monthly salary of 1.88 million euros.

The top nine includes Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski and Premier League stars - Casemiro, Mohamed Salah, and Raphael Varane.
