Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Top Duo Out-Earns Entire Attack

The combined €20.0M salary of center-back Nico Schlotterbeck and midfielder Felix Nmecha is greater than the total wage bill for all four of the club's forwards (€18.9M).

The Five Million Euro Club

Five players from different positions across the pitch share an identical salary of €5.0M: center-back Joane Gadou, right-back Julian Ryerson, central midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, defensive midfielder Emre Can, and center-forward Maximilian Beier.

Teenage Defender Out-earns Veterans

At just 19 years old, center-back Joane Gadou's €5.0M salary is higher than that of veteran left-back Ramy Bensebaini (31, €4.5M) and equal to that of experienced defensive midfielder Emre Can (32, €5.0M).

The €3.5 Million Midfield Trio

Three midfielders of different ages and roles share an identical salary of €3.5M: 27-year-old central midfielder Joey Veerman, 20-year-old central midfielder Jobe Bellingham, and 18-year-old attacking midfielder Konstantinos Karetsas.

Two Teens Earn Less Than Backup Keeper

The combined salaries of 18-year-old defender Luca Reggiani (€900K) and 18-year-old midfielder Justin Lerma (€200K) total €1.1M, the exact same amount earned by 35-year-old backup goalkeeper Alexander Meyer.

Keeper Out-Earns Senior Midfielders

Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel's €9.0M salary places him among the club's top earners, ahead of established central midfielders like Marcel Sabitzer (€7.5M) and Emre Can (€5.0M).

Huge Wage Gap Among Young Talents

There are distinct tiers among the club's young talents. At the top, 19-year-old Joane Gadou earns €5.0M. A second tier includes 18-year-old Konstantinos Karetsas and 20-year-old Jobe Bellingham, both on €3.5M. This is in stark contrast to other young players like Luca Reggiani (€900K), Samuele Inacio (€500K), and Justin Lerma (€200K).

Dortmund's Clear Salary Tiers

The squad's wages are structured in clear tiers. An elite group earns €10.0M (Schlotterbeck, Nmecha). A senior group earns between €7.5M and €9.4M (Guirassy, Kobel, Sabitzer). A core group earns between €5.0M and €5.5M, including five players on exactly €5.0M. Developing talents are on salaries below that.

A Two-Way Tie at the Top

The club's top salary of €10.0M is shared by Center-Back Nico Schlotterbeck and Center Midfielder Felix Nmecha, placing them ahead of the top-earning forward, Serhou Guirassy (€9.4M).

Attack's Top Earner

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