Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Top Defender and Midfielder Out-earn Forwards

The highest-paid defender, Scott McKenna, and the highest-paid midfielder, Miha Zajc, both earn €800K. This salary is higher than that of every forward in the squad except for the club's overall top earner, Dion Beljo.

A Massive Gap Divides Midfield

A significant wage disparity exists within the midfield. The top two midfielders, Miha Zajc (€800K) and Josip Mišić (€750K), each earn more than six times the salary of their positional colleague Marko Soldo (€120K).

The €500K and €350K Clubs

Several players across different positions earn identical salaries. Four players—defenders Sergi Domínguez and Niko Galešić, alongside forwards Gabriel Vidović and Arber Hoxha—all earn exactly €500K. A similar cluster exists at the €350K mark, including goalkeepers, defenders, and forwards.

Dinamo's Five Distinct Salary Tiers

The squad's salaries are grouped into five clear tiers. An elite tier is occupied solely by Dion Beljo at over €850K. A 'Key Player' tier exists between €750K-€800K, including players like Scott McKenna and Miha Zajc. A 'Core Squad' tier sits around €500K-€700K, while a large group of players forms a 'Rotation' tier between €300K-€400K. Finally, a 'Youth and Fringe' tier exists for players earning under €250K.

One Defender Earns Far Less

Defender Paul Tabinas is the club's lowest-paid player at €65K. His salary is a significant outlier, being nearly 40% lower than the next lowest-paid player and less than a quarter of the salary of the next lowest-paid defenders (€300K).

McKenna Commands The Defensive Salaries

Scott McKenna, a Centre-Back, is the highest-paid player in the defense, earning €800K per year.

Zajc Is Midfield's Top Earner

Miha Zajc, a Central Midfielder, is the highest-paid player in the midfield with an annual salary of €800K.

Beljo Is The Club's Top Earner

The highest-paid player at the club is Centre-Forward Dion Beljo, with an annual salary of €864K. He is the only player earning over €850K.
