Embattled Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea comes second on the shortlist with just £10,000 short of De Bruyne's take home as reported by SunSport.

De Gea currently earns £375k on a weekly basis at his present club - the highest earner at United but his number one status is threatened by the emergence of Dean Henderson.

His deal with the Gunners will not expire until 2023 and he has been linked with a few clubs in top European leagues.
