Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Teenage Wage Gap is Massive

There is a significant salary disparity among the club's three 19-year-olds. Winger Rayan earns €3.0M, double the wage of center-back Veljko Milosavljević (€1.5M) and nearly seven times that of fellow center-back Matai Akinmboni (€440K).

Goalkeeping Duo Out-earns Top Striker

The combined annual salary of the club's two goalkeepers, Đorđe Petrović (€3.4M) and Fraser Forster (€2.5M), totals €5.9M. This amount is greater than the salary of the club's single highest-paid player, striker Evanilson, who earns €5.3M.

Teenage Defender Out-earns Senior Striker

At just 19 years old, center-back Veljko Milosavljević earns €1.5M per year. This salary is significantly higher than that of 29-year-old center-forward Enes Ünal, who earns €913K.

The €2.5M Salary Trio

Three players from different positions and age groups share the exact same annual salary of €2.5M. The club's two oldest players, 38-year-old goalkeeper Fraser Forster and 35-year-old right-back Adam Smith, earn the same as 22-year-old central midfielder Alex Scott.

Attacking Midfielder Out-earns Most Forwards

Attacking midfielder Justin Kluivert is the club's second-highest earner at €5.0M. This places his salary above every forward at the club except for the top earner, Evanilson.

Winger's Wage Matches Two Teen Defenders

At 20 years old, winger Ben Doak earns €1.9M per year. This single salary is almost identical to the combined wages of the club's two 19-year-old center-backs, Veljko Milosavljević (€1.5M) and Matai Akinmboni (€440K), who together earn €1.94M.

The Four Tiers of Bournemouth Wages

A High Earner Tier (€4M - €4.9M) includes players like Ryan Christie, David Brooks, Marcus Tavernier, and Amine Adli. A large Mid Tier (€2.4M - €3.9M) features individuals such as Lewis Cook, Tyler Adams, and Đorđe Petrović. The Developing/Lower Tier (under €2.4M) contains younger players and veterans like Ben Doak and Enes Ünal.
