The team that pays its players the highest is Barcelona, with the Spanish giants having a total first team wage bill of £6.6m. Second are Paris Saint-Germain, who currently hold the record for paying the most expensive transfer fee in football history after signing Neymar from Barcelona in the summer.
Real Madrid are third, with the two Manchester clubs in fourth and fifth respectively.
The interesting team are West Ham, who with an annual salary bill of £2.9m, pay their players far more than the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan
