Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Top Two Forwards Out-earn Midfield

The combined salary of the top two forwards, Carlos Vicente (€3.0M) and Kyogo Furuhashi (€2.5M), totals €5.5M. This is significantly more than the combined wage bill of the entire four-player midfield, which stands at €4.1M.

Four Forwards Earn Half of Squad

The club's top four highest-paid players are all forwards (Vicente, Furuhashi, Gray, Ducksch). Their combined €9.0M salary is more than half the total wage of the other 15 players in the squad combined (€16.3M).

Goalkeeper, Midfielder, and Forward Share Salary

Three players from three different areas of the pitch earn the exact same salary of €1.3M: goalkeeper Ryan Allsop, central midfielder Jhon Solís, and centre-forward August Priske.

Two Youngest Players Out-earn Veterans

The two youngest players in the squad, 21-year-olds Jhon Solís and August Priske, both earn €1.3M annually. This is more than established veterans like 32-year-old defender Jack Robinson (€1.1M) and 28-year-old midfielder Seung-ho Paik (€936K).

Massive Pay Gap Between Full-Backs

There is a significant wage disparity among the full-backs. The top earner, Kai Wagner (€1.4M), earns more than four times the salary of the lowest-paid full-back, Alex Cochrane (€312K).

Defensive Midfielder and Striker on Identical Wage

Defensive midfielder Tomoki Iwata and centre-forward Jay Stansfield, players with very different roles, are on the exact same annual salary of €780K.

The Club's Salary Tiers

The squad's wage structure is split into three clear tiers. An elite group of four forwards earns above €1.5M. A large core group, including most defenders and midfielders, earns between €1.1M and €1.4M. A lower tier of players earns under €1M, including Ethan Laird and Lee Buchanan.

Wagner and Klarer Lead Defense

Left-back Kai Wagner and centre-back Christoph Klarer are the joint top earners in the defense, with both players on an annual salary of €1.4M.

Solís Leads Midfield Wages

Central midfielder Jhon Solís is the top earner in the midfield, taking home €1.3M per year.

Vicente is the Club's Top Earner

Right-winger Carlos Vicente is the highest-paid player at the club, with an annual salary of €3.0M.
