Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Haaland Stands Alone At The Top

Centre-forward Erling Haaland is the club's undisputed top earner with an annual salary of €31.5M, placing him in a financial tier of his own, well above any teammate.

Bernardo Silva Commands The Midfield

At €18.0M, attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva is the highest-paid midfielder. His salary is greater than that of every single defender in the squad.

Stones and Dias Form Defensive Pay Elite

The two highest-paid defenders are centre-backs John Stones and Rúben Dias, who both earn an identical salary of €15.0M per year.

The Five Tiers of City's Payroll

The club's salary structure has five clear tiers. A 'Marquee' tier is solely for Erling Haaland (€31.5M). A 'Star' tier (€15M-€18M) includes Bernardo Silva, Omar Marmoush, and Gianluigi Donnarumma. The 'Key Player' tier (€10.8M-€13.8M) features players like Rodri and Phil Foden, followed by a large group of starters from €5.4M-€9.6M. A 'Prospect' tier exists for those earning under €5M.

Donnarumma Matches Top Defensive Pair

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma's €15.0M salary is identical to that of the two highest-paid defenders, John Stones and Rúben Dias. He also earns more than every midfielder except for Bernardo Silva.

Marmoush Earns More Than Any Defender

The club's second-highest-paid forward, Omar Marmoush (€17.7M), earns more than every single defender and goalkeeper in the squad. His salary also surpasses all midfielders except for Bernardo Silva.

The Nine Million Trio

Three players from three different positional lines earn an identical salary of €9.0M: midfielder Mateo Kovačić, defensive midfielder Kalvin Phillips, and forward Antoine Semenyo.

Four Players Share €3M Salary

A goalkeeper (James Trafford), a defender (Abdukodir Khusanov), and two forwards (Oscar Bobb, Jérémy Doku) all share the exact same annual salary of €3.0M.

Top Defenders Out-earn Bottom Three Combined

The salary of a single top-earning defender like John Stones (€15.0M) is greater than the combined salaries of the three lowest-paid defenders: Rayan Aït Nouri, Abdukodir Khusanov, and Rico Lewis, who together earn €11.7M.
