Donyell Malen salary: How much does Aston Villa star earn per week and annually in Premier League?

Under Malen's current three-year contract at Villa, he receives a weekly salary of £140,000 ($184,980), ranking him as the fifth-highest paid at Villa Park.

His annual salary amounts to £7.2 million ($9.6m).

At Villa Park, Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford currently commands the highest wages, significantly outpacing his peers. Trailing Rashford are Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans, and Emiliano Martinez, who all share the same salary tier. Completing the top earners list is Donyell Malen in fifth place.

Aston Villa players earn high salaries, but these are modest compared to the top earners in the Premier League. The list is led by well-known players in the league.

Erling Haaland of Manchester City is at the top after signing a nine-year contract, keeping him at the club until 2034. Kevin De Bruyne, also from City, is second, followed by Mohamed Salah in third place.

Casemiro is fourth as Manchester United's only representative, while Liverpool's captain Virgil Van Dijk is fifth.

Despite the substantial salaries in the Premier League, neither player ranks among the top earners in global football.

Leading the list is Cristiano Ronaldo, the all-time top scorer in the Champions League, currently playing for Al Nassr. He is closely followed by his former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema.

Ex-Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez holds the third position, while Senegalese players Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly complete the list in fourth and fifth places, respectively.
