Ilkay Gundogan has returned to Manchester City as one of the club's top earners, but how does his salary compare to Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland's? Here are the 11 highest-paid stars at the Premier League champions!
In August, the German midfielder penned a one-year deal with the Citizens following a single-season spell at Barcelona, a move that saw him return to the club he claimed five league titles with between 2016 and 2023.
Gundogan impressed for the Catalan giants in his 51 appearances in the 2023/24 campaign as he contributed to 19 goals, but was made available after Hansi Flick replaced Xavi Hernandez as head coach of the Blaugrana earlier this year.

The experienced player, who retired from international football following the 2024 UEFA European Championship, is said to have agreed to a salary worth £230 000 (R5.3 million) a week to return to Manchester, according to Capology.
