Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Two Defenders Nearly Out-earn Midfield

The combined salaries of the two highest-paid defenders, Scott McKenna (€800K) and Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel (€780K), total €1.58M. This amount is nearly equal to the entire wage bill for the club's three midfielders combined (€1.7M).

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).

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.

Teenager Varela Out-earns Senior Players

At just 17 years old, forward Cardoso Varela earns €195K. This salary is higher than that of several older players in the squad, including 22-year-old midfielder Marko Soldo (€120K) and 23-year-old defender Paul Tabinas (€65K).

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).

The €500K and €350K Salary Clubs

Several players across different positions earn identical salaries. A trio of players—defenders Sergi Domínguez and Niko Galešić, alongside forward Gabriel Vidović—all earn exactly €500K. A larger cluster exists at the €350K mark, which includes goalkeepers Danijel Zagorac and Ivan Filipović, defender Bruno Goda, and forward Luka Stojković.

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.

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.

Transfer rumour salaries: Šotiček, Livaković, and Bennacer

Latest reported salary figures for players linked with a move to the club.

Dinamo Zagreb previously offered Marin Šotiček a 10,000 euros monthly salary. For Dominik Livaković, Dinamo is prepared to offer a maximum annual salary of 750,000 euros plus bonuses, which could potentially increase to 1 million euros annually with an additional payment from Zvonimir Boban.
