Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Nineteen-Year-Old Joins Core Earners

At just 19 years old, center-back Joane Gadou earns €5.0M. This salary places him ahead of several senior players, including established left-back Ramy Bensebaini (€4.5M) and multiple center-forwards.

Goalkeeper Is A Top Earner

In a highly unusual wage structure, the club's joint-highest earner is Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, whose €10.0M salary matches the top earners in defense and midfield.

Right-Backs Out-Earn All Left-Backs

The club's two right-backs, Julian Ryerson and Yan Couto, have a combined salary of €10.0M. This is more than the combined salary of all three left-backs on the roster (€8.25M total).

Top Striker Not The Top Earner

The highest-paid forward, Serhou Guirassy (€9.4M), earns less than the top-paid players in goal, defense, and midfield, who all earn €10.0M.

The Five Million Trio

A teenage center-back (Joane Gadou) and the club's two primary right-backs (Yan Couto and Julian Ryerson) are all on the exact same salary of €5.0M.

Center-Back Doubles Full-Back Pay

There is a significant wage gap within the defense, where the top-earning center-back, Nico Schlotterbeck (€10.0M), earns exactly double the salary of the two highest-paid full-backs, Yan Couto and Julian Ryerson (€5.0M).

Dortmund's Clear Salary Tiers

The squad's wages are structured in clear tiers, headlined by an elite group of three players earning exactly €10.0M: Gregor Kobel (GK), Nico Schlotterbeck (CB), and Felix Nmecha (CM). A senior group earns between €7.5M and €9.4M, a core group earns between €4.0M and €6.0M, and developing players are on salaries below that.

Defense's Top Earner

Nico Schlotterbeck (Center Back) is the highest earner within the defense, with a salary of €10.0M per year.

Midfield's Top Earner

Felix Nmecha (Center Midfielder) is the highest earner within the midfield, with a salary of €10.0M per year.

Attack's Top Earner

Serhou Guirassy (Center Forward) is the highest earner within the attack, with a salary of €9.4M per year.
