One Centre-Back Earns More Than All Right-Backs

Centre-back Dayot Upamecano's individual salary of €20.0M is greater than the combined €19.6M annual wages of all three right-backs on the roster: Konrad Laimer, Josip Stanišić, and Sacha Boey.

Upamecano Earns More Than All Goalkeepers

Centre-back Dayot Upamecano's individual salary of €20.0M is greater than the combined €17.5M annual wages of all three goalkeepers on the roster: Manuel Neuer, Jonas Urbig, and Sven Ulreich.

Neuer Earns More Than Five Midfielders

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's €15.0M salary is greater than the combined €14.9M wages of five of the club's seven midfielders: Aleksandar Pavlović, Ismael Saibari, Lennart Karl, Tom Bischof, and Bara Sapoko Ndiaye.

The €15M Goalkeeper, Defender, Forward Trio

A goalkeeper (Manuel Neuer), a defender (Alphonso Davies), and a forward (Serge Gnabry) all share the exact same annual salary of €15.0M, creating a unique pay parity across three distinct areas of the pitch.

Midfield's Massive Pay Cliff

There is a significant €14.4M salary gap between the club's second-highest paid midfielder, Joshua Kimmich (€20.0M), and the third-highest, Aleksandar Pavlović (€5.6M), highlighting a sharp drop-off after the top two.

Kimmich Out-earns Star Forwards

Defensive midfielder Joshua Kimmich, with his €20.0M salary, earns more than every forward at the club except for top earner Harry Kane. He is paid more than wingers Serge Gnabry (€15.0M), Luis Díaz (€14.0M), and Michael Olise (€14.0M).

Youth and Experience Share Top Spot

The club's two highest earners represent both ends of the experience spectrum: 23-year-old Jamal Musiala and 33-year-old Harry Kane both earn €25.0M.

Bayern's Four Tiers of Pay

The squad's salaries fall into four clear tiers. The Elite tier (€20M+) includes stars like Musiala, Kane, Kimmich, and Upamecano. A Star tier (€12M-€15M) features key players such as Neuer, Davies, Gnabry, Olise, Díaz, Kim, and Tah. The Core player group earns between €5M and €10M, including Laimer, Stanišić, Pavlović, and Saibari. Finally, a Development tier exists for those earning under €5M, such as Ito, Boey, and Karl.

Upamecano Is The Defensive Kingpin

The highest-paid defender at the club is centre-back Dayot Upamecano, who earns €20.0M per year, placing him well above his defensive colleagues.

Musiala and Kane Lead the Payroll

Attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala and centre-forward Harry Kane are the club's joint-highest earners, both with an annual salary of €25.0M. This makes them the top earners in midfield and attack, respectively.
