Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Attackers Locked Out of Top Tier

None of the club's five forwards are among the top four highest earners. The top-earning attacker, Pedro Neto (€9.6M), earns less than the third-highest-paid defender, Marc Cucurella (€10.5M), and the top midfielder, Enzo Fernández (€10.8M).

Colwill's Salary Matches Three Teammates

Center-back Levi Colwill's €6.0M salary is equal to the combined wages of three of his defensive teammates: Trevoh Chalobah (€3.0M), Malo Gusto (€2.7M), and Josh Acheampong (€300K).

Garnacho's Salary Matches Goalkeepers

Attacking midfielder Alejandro Garnacho's €6.6M salary is exactly equal to the combined salaries of both of the club's goalkeepers, Robert Sánchez (€3.6M) and Filip Jørgensen (€3.0M).

Defense Dominates Top Salaries

Hato and Adarabioyo Share Salary
