Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Two Stars Out-earn Entire Defense

The combined salary of top earners Rade Krunić (€3.0M) and Marko Arnautović (€2.5M) totals €5.5M. This amount is significantly greater than the entire wage bill for the club's six defenders, which stands at €3.6M.

Krunić's Salary Rivals Entire Defense

Defensive midfielder Rade Krunić's €3.0M salary is nearly equal to the combined salaries of the entire six-player defensive unit, which totals €3.6M.

Attack Features a 73x Salary Chasm

The wage gap among the eight forwards is immense. Top earner Marko Arnautović (€2.5M) earns over 73 times more than the lowest-paid forward, Vladimir Lučić (€34K).

Teenager Out-earns Senior Center-Backs

Vasilije Kostov, an 18-year-old attacking midfielder, earns €375K per year. This salary is higher than that of two older central defenders, Franklin Tebo (€332K) and Rodrigão Prado (€145K).

Defensive Midfielder Out-earns Star Striker

The club's highest-paid player is Rade Krunić, a defensive midfielder, whose €3.0M salary surpasses that of the top-earning forward, Marko Arnautović (€2.5M). Krunić is the top earner in midfield and for the entire squad.

The €400K Goalkeeper-Winger Club

An interesting salary cluster exists at the €400K mark, shared by players in completely different positions. Goalkeeper Omri Glazer earns the exact same annual salary as two right-wingers, Shavy Babicka and Douglas Owusu.

Two Outfield Players Earn Less Than Goalkeeper

The combined annual salary of the lowest-paid defender, Nikola Stanković (€33K), and the lowest-paid forward, Vladimir Lučić (€34K), is €67K. This total is less than the €100K salary of the third-string goalkeeper, Ivan Guteša.

The Club's Clear Salary Tiers

The squad's pay structure is divided into distinct tiers. An elite group, including Rade Krunić (€3.0M) and Marko Arnautović (€2.5M), earns over €2M. A second tier of key players earns between €1.0M and €1.2M, featuring Milos Veljkovic, Tomás Händel, and Seol Young-Woo. The majority of the squad falls into brackets below €1M.

Veljkovic Commands the Defensive Line

The highest-paid player in the defense is center-back Milos Veljkovic. His annual salary is €1.2M. He and right-back Seol Young-Woo (€1.0M) are the only two defenders earning €1M or more.

Arnautović Leads the Attack's Wages

Marko Arnautović is the top earner among the forwards. The center-forward's salary is €2.5M, which is more than three times the next highest-paid attacker, Loizos Loizou (€775K).
