Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Top Three Defenders Out-Earn Entire Attack

The combined salaries of the three highest-paid defenders (Jarrad Branthwaite, James Tarkowski, and Michael Keane) amount to €19.2M. This is more than the total wage bill for all six of the club's forwards, which stands at €14.8M.

Everton's Two-Tier Midfield Pay Gap

There is a major salary divide in the midfield. The top two earners, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (€5.4M) and James Garner (€5.0M), are on a completely different level from the rest. The next highest-paid midfielders, Carlos Alcaraz and Tim Iroegbunam, earn just €1.2M each.

Top Forward Is Only Seventh-Highest Earner

The club's highest-paid forward, Beto, earns €3.6M per year, making him only the seventh-highest earner in the squad. Six players earn more than the top attacker: goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, defenders Jarrad Branthwaite, James Tarkowski, and Michael Keane, and midfielders Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and James Garner.

Pickford Out-Earns Top Two Forwards

Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford's €9.0M salary is greater than the combined wages of the club's two highest-paid forwards, Beto (€3.6M) and Iliman Ndiaye (€2.8M), which total €6.4M.

Goalkeeper, Defender, and Forward Share Salary

Goalkeeper Mark Travers, left-back Adam Aznou, and left-winger Dwight McNeil all earn an identical salary of €1.5M, forming a unique wage cluster that spans all three areas of the pitch.

The Club's Four Salary Tiers

Everton's wage structure is split into four clear tiers. The Elite tier (over €7M) includes Pickford, Branthwaite, and Tarkowski. A Senior tier (€3.5M-€5.4M) contains key players like Dewsbury-Hall, Garner, Keane, Mykolenko, and Beto. A large group of players fall into the Rotation tier (€1.2M-€2.8M), including Ndiaye, Barry, and McNeil. Finally, a Prospect tier exists for those earning under €1M, such as Röhl and King.

Branthwaite and Tarkowski Top Defensive Pay

The highest earners in defense are the center-back pairing of Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski, who both earn an identical salary of €7.2M.

Dewsbury-Hall Is Midfield's Top Earner

Central midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is the top earner within the midfield group, taking home a salary of €5.4M per year.

Everton is reportedly seeking a lower transfer fee for Gabriel Jesus due to his high salary, which is around £265,000 per week, and it is uncertain if any suitor can match this figure.
