Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Osimhen's Salary Rivals Entire Midfield

Striker Victor Osimhen's individual salary of €18.8M is nearly equivalent to the combined wages of the entire eight-player midfield unit, which totals €21.5M.

Top Two Strikers Out-Earn Entire Defense

The combined salary of forwards Victor Osimhen and Rafael Leão (€31.3M) is greater than the total wage bill for all nine defenders in the squad combined (€22.5M).

Elite Attackers Earn 4x The Rest

There is a significant wage gap within the forward line. The top three attackers—Victor Osimhen, Rafael Leão, and Leroy Sané—have a combined salary of €40.3M. This is over four times the combined €10.0M salary of the other seven forwards in the squad.

Leão's Wage Exceeds Top Defensive Pair

Winger Rafael Leão's individual salary of €12.5M is greater than the combined €11.6M salary of the club's two highest-paid centre-backs, Wilfried Singo and Davinson Sánchez.

Top Midfielder Trails Top Defenders

The club's highest-paid midfielder, İlkay Gündoğan (€4.5M), earns less than the top two highest-paid defenders, Wilfried Singo (€6.0M) and Davinson Sánchez (€5.6M).

21-Year-Old Out-Earns Senior Players

At 21, attacking midfielder Aleksey Batrakov earns €3.3M, a salary higher than established players like winger Barış Alper Yılmaz (€3.0M, age 26) and midfielder Gabriel Sara (€2.8M, age 27).

Two Wingers and a Defender on Same Wage

Wingers Roland Sallai and Yunus Akgün, along with centre-back Abdülkerim Bardakcı, all share the exact same annual salary of €2.5M.

The Club's Clear Salary Tiers

The squad has a distinct wage structure. An elite tier of three forwards (Osimhen, Leão, Sané) earns over €9.0M. A star player tier, including defenders Singo and Sánchez and midfielder Gündoğan, sits between €4.5M and €6.0M. A large group of key contributors earns between €2.0M and €4.0M.

Osimhen Is The Undisputed Top Earner
