Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Grealish Alone Matches Entire Midfield

Left-winger Jack Grealish's €18.0M salary is nearly equal to the entire combined wage bill of all seven of the club's midfielders, which totals €20.2M.

Grealish Earns Double The Next Player

There is a significant gap at the top of the wage bill. Top earner Jack Grealish (€18.0M) earns exactly twice as much as the club's second-highest paid player, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford (€9.0M).

Veteran and Youth Share Top Defensive Salary

The highest earners in defense are the center-back pairing of James Tarkowski (Age 33) and Jarrad Branthwaite (Age 24), who both earn an identical salary of €7.2M despite the nine-year age gap.

Huge Pay Gap Among Youngest Players

There is a significant salary difference among the club's players aged 20 and under. While 19-year-old Harrison Armstrong earns €73K, 20-year-olds Tyler Dibling (€2.4M) and Tyrique George (€1.5M) are on much larger contracts.

Two Right-Backs Match One Center-Back

The combined salaries of the club's two right-backs, Ainsley Maitland-Niles (€2.7M) and Jake O'Brien (€2.1M), total €4.8M. This is the exact same salary earned by a single center-back, Michael Keane.

Pickford's Salary Matches Two Top Midfielders
