Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

The Five-Way €4.3M Tie

A significant salary cluster exists at the €4.3M mark, tying together five players from different positions: right-back Juanlu Sánchez, centre-back Bafodé Diakité, defensive midfielder Ryan Christie, left-winger Amine Adli, and right-winger David Brooks.

Top Goalkeepers Out-earn Star Striker

The combined annual salary of the top two goalkeepers, Đorđe Petrović (€3.4M) and Michele Di Gregorio (€3.0M), totals €6.4M. This sum is greater than the salary of the club's single highest earner, centre-forward Evanilson (€5.3M).

Right-Backs Dominate Defensive Wages

The four right-backs in the squad command a combined salary of €12.0M. This accounts for over 45% of the entire €26.4M wage bill for the 10-man defense.

Unlikely Trio on Identical Wage

Centre-back António Silva (22), central midfielder Lewis Cook (29), and defensive midfielder Tyler Adams (27) all earn exactly €3.7M per year, creating a salary cluster that bridges defensive and midfield lines across different age profiles.

Youthful Defense Earns Big

The club's two highest-paid players aged 23 or younger are both defenders. 23-year-old right-back Juanlu Sánchez earns €4.3M, and 22-year-old centre-back António Silva earns €3.7M, out-earning all other young players in midfield and attack.

Veteran Goalkeeper Out-earns Half the Defense

At 38 years old, goalkeeper Fraser Forster's €2.4M salary is higher than that of five of the ten players in the defensive line.

Bournemouth's Salary Structure

The squad's salaries are grouped into tiers. An elite tier above €5.0M is occupied solely by Evanilson (€5.3M). A top-performer tier at €5.0M includes only Justin Kluivert. A key player bracket exists between €4.1M and €4.3M, featuring players like Ryan Christie, Juanlu Sánchez, and Amine Adli. A large group of core players earns between €2.1M and €3.7M, with a developmental tier for those earning below €2.0M.

Kluivert Paces the Midfield

Attacking midfielder Justin Kluivert is the highest-paid midfielder at the club with a €5.0M annual salary. This wage makes him the second-highest earner in the entire squad and surpasses the salary of every single player in the 10-man defense.

A Tie At The Top of Defense

The title of highest-paid defender is shared. Right-back Juanlu Sánchez and centre-back Bafodé Diakité both earn €4.3M annually, making them the joint top earners across the defensive line.

Evanilson Is The Club's Top Earner

Centre-forward Evanilson is the highest-paid player at AFC Bournemouth. His annual salary is €5.3M, making him the only player at the club to earn over the €5.0M mark.
