Showcasing the highest 10 player wages in Football Manager 2015. Surprisingly, all the clubs are either from the Middle East or China.

I believe you already know the 14th best-paid player in FM15, Nicolas Anelka.

He just signed with the Indian club Mumbai, which began playing in October 2014 during the inaugural season of the Indian Super League.

What could be better than affording to pay €13,112,710 per season for a 35-year-old striker on your debut as a football club?

Take a look at the 10 crazy wages you didn’t know about and tell us if you had any problems pronouncing these names!

But why are they all in the Middle East or China?

Do you remember Darío Conca? Guangzhou Evergrande signed him in July 2011 on a €10,6 million yearly wage. He was the 3rd best-paid player in the world at the time, after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Soon after being relegated in 2009 following a match-fixing scandal, Evergrande Real Estate Group assumed control and began investing in the squad.

It was probably the start of all this. Only one month later, Anzhi Makhachkala signed Samuel Eto’o on a €20 million yearly wage.

Who do you think will be the next player to give in to the temptation of oil money?
