Vinicius Junior's weekly salary at Real Madrid is estimated to be around £410,000, a figure that makes him one of the best-paid players in the world.
Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, who is still only 23, is one of the most expensive players in this hypothetical Premier League XI. His salary is estimated to be £35,000 per week.
Djed Spence, a versatile full-back, is another key player in this XI, earning £40,000 per week. Spence has showcased his skills at the World Cup and is now looking to prove himself at club level with Tottenham Hotspur.
Ezri Konsa, a player Arsenal have shown interest in, is the highest-paid player in this XI, earning £75,000 per week. Konsa has established himself at Premier League standard with Aston Villa and earned a pay rise when he renewed his contract in September 2023.
James Hill, a 24-year-old defender, has become a regular starter at the back for Bournemouth. Despite enjoying a breakthrough season, Hill remains on a relatively modest salary of £25,000 per week.
Nico O'Reilly, a 21-year-old left-back, has established himself in the first team at Manchester City and earned a long-term contract renewal in September. O'Reilly's salary is estimated to be £30,000 per week.
Adam Wharton, a midfielder for Crystal Palace, is another key player in this XI. Despite regularly being linked with a step up in his career, Wharton's salary remains at £35,000 per week.
Alex Scott, a midfielder for Bournemouth, has been playing in the Premier League for three years and earns £40,000 per week. Scott is another player who has caught the attention of top clubs.
Carlos Baleba, a midfielder for Brighton, earns a relatively modest £12,500 per week. Baleba's salary is significantly lower than that of Vinicius Junior, who earns over 30 times more per week.
Iliman Ndiaye, a right-winger for Everton, earns £45,000 per week. Ndiaye has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia this summer and may see his earnings skyrocket.
Eli Junior Kroupi, a forward for Bournemouth, is one of the Premier League's biggest revelations from last season. Despite scoring 13 goals in his debut season, Kroupi's injury will keep him out of the start of this season.
Jeremy Doku, a left-winger for Manchester City, earns £50,000 per week. Doku has only scored 11 goals in the league since joining in 2023 but has caused headaches for opposing full-backs with his dribbling ability.
The combined weekly salary of this Premier League XI is estimated to be £407,500, which is lower than Vinicius Junior's estimated weekly salary of £410,393.
