City's salaries are comparable to other top 6 teams on paper but in reality their star players are paid doubled thanks to Abu Dhabi-related sponsorships and bonuses that are very easy to achieve (being on the team after date x, make x appearance, practice x times a week, attend dinners with Abu Dhabi government officials, etc).
Since you're Americans this might remind you of how universities pay their college players under the table using NIL and speaking fees.
