Wages in football are getting really ridiculous these days, and with the income from television rights rising fast, the trend of crazy wages is set to continue.
Wayne Rooney is already earning £300k a week, and made us wonder about who could be the first player to earn £500k a week.
Paul Pogba
Pogba is one of the few real box-to-box midfielders in the world and has a few massive clubs after him. Pogba has the quality to become one of the world’s best players and having youth on his side, he must be in for a decent shout of getting close to that £500-a-week package.
Max Meyer
The 19-year-old Meyer is a promising youngster in the Bundesliga. He is expected to be the next big German star and with 50 league appearances already, he has to be another one that is in with a shout, especially if a big club comes along in the years to come.
Neymar
It's hard to believe that the talented Brazilian is still only 23-years-old. Whether he decides to make another big move, or simply becomes the main man at Barcelona, Neymar is already showing us that he has the potential to follow in the footsteps of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Raheem Sterling
Sterling is another player in with a realistic chance of breaking wage records. He has the potential to play for the biggest sides in the world, but the question is whether he will remain loyal to Liverpool, like Steven Gerrard, or make a big-money move.
Who do you think will be the first player to earn £500k a week?
