Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Two Midfielders Out-earn Entire Defense

The combined salaries of midfielders N'Golo Kanté (€11.0M) and Marco Asensio (€10.0M) total €21.0M. This amount is greater than the entire €20.7M wage bill for all eight of the club's defenders combined.

Four Players Earn Nearly Half the Wage Bill

The club's wage structure is extremely top-heavy. The four highest-paid players—Ederson (€11.0M), N'Golo Kanté (€11.0M), Marco Asensio (€10.0M), and Milan Škriniar (€8.0M)—have a combined salary of €40.0M, which accounts for 48.8% of the club's total €82.0M wage bill.

Teenage Forward Out-earns Six Defenders

Sidiki Cherif, a 19-year-old center-forward, earns €2.5M annually. This salary is higher than that of six defenders in the squad: Çağlar Söyüncü, Archie Brown, Jayden Oosterwolde, Mert Müldür, Munir Mercan, and Yiğit Efe Demir.

Top Attacker Earns Less Than Top Defender

The club's highest-paid forward, Kerem Aktürkoğlu (€5.6M), has a lower salary than the top earner in defense, Milan Škriniar (€8.0M). This is an unusual wage structure where the top defensive salary surpasses the top attacking one.

Three Midfielders Out-earn Entire Attack

The combined salaries of the three highest-paid midfielders, N'Golo Kanté (€11.0M), Marco Asensio (€10.0M), and Fred (€5.2M), total €26.2M. This amount is more than double the entire wage bill for all five forwards combined (€12.0M).

The €10M Elite Trio

A clear top tier of salaries exists, with three players earning €10.0M or more. This elite group consists of N'Golo Kanté (€11.0M), Ederson (€11.0M), and Marco Asensio (€10.0M), setting them significantly apart from the rest of the squad.

Goalkeeper and Midfielder Share Top Spot

The club's highest earners are not forwards, but Goalkeeper Ederson and Defensive Midfielder N'Golo Kanté, who are tied with an annual salary of €11.0M.

Škriniar is the Top-Paid Defender

The highest earner among defenders is Center-Back Milan Škriniar, who makes €8.0M per year.

Kanté is the Top-Paid Midfielder

The highest earner among midfielders is Defensive Midfielder N'Golo Kanté, who makes €11.0M per year. He is also the joint top earner in the entire squad.

Aktürkoğlu Leads the Forward Line's Pay

The highest-paid attacker is Left Winger Kerem Aktürkoğlu, with an annual salary of €5.6M.

Transfer rumour salaries: Malang Sarr, Alexander Sørloth, Mason Greenwood, and Serhou Guirassy

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

For Malang Sarr, Fenerbahçe has offered an annual salary of 5 million Euro plus a signing bonus, while the player's side has demanded an annual salary of 10 million Euro including a signing bonus, and previously considered 7 million Euro too high. Alexander Sørloth's annual salary expectation was reported at 15 million Euro, with earlier demands of 12 million Euro, and Fenerbahçe aimed to reduce this to between 7 and 8 million Euro, though an agreement on a 12 million Euro salary was also reported. Fenerbahçe is offering Mason Greenwood a net salary of 5 million Euro per year plus various bonuses. Serhou Guirassy's agent is reportedly seeking an offer that would at least double his current net salary of 5 million Euro, implying a demand of at least 10 million Euro from Fenerbahçe.
