Chelsea Salaries 2025/26

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).

The combined annual salary of the three highest-paid defenders—Reece James (€14.9M), Wesley Fofana (€12.0M), and Marc Cucurella (€10.5M)—totals €37.4M. This amount is greater than the combined salaries of the entire five-player forward line, which totals €29.7M.

At 18 years old, winger Estêvão's €3.6M salary is higher than that of seven of his teammates, all of whom are older: Marc Guiu (20), Andrey Santos (21), Dário Essugo (21), Gabriel Słonina (21), Roméo Lavia (22), Malo Gusto (22), and Trevoh Chalobah (26).

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).

Three of the club's four highest-paid players are defenders: Reece James (€14.9M), Wesley Fofana (€12.0M), and Marc Cucurella (€10.5M). Midfielder Enzo Fernández is the only non-defender in the top four.
