Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Midfield and Defense Share Wage Bill

The entire 6-player midfield group earns a total of €27.4M, almost identical to the €27.2M total salary for the larger 8-player defensive group. This is primarily due to the high salary of the club's top earner, Kevin De Bruyne.

De Bruyne Out-Earns Top Full-Backs Combined

The club's highest earner, attacking midfielder Kevin De Bruyne (€10.2M), has a salary greater than the combined wages of the two highest-paid full-backs, Giovanni Di Lorenzo (€5.5M) and Miguel Gutiérrez (€4.3M).

Midfield Features Club's Biggest Wage Gap

The midfield position group contains both the club's highest-paid player, Kevin De Bruyne (€10.2M), and one of its lowest-paid, Antonio Vergara (€330K). De Bruyne earns over 30 times more than his fellow midfielder.

Top Defender Trails Other Positions

The highest-paid defender, Giovanni Di Lorenzo (€5.5M), earns less than the second-highest-paid midfielder, Scott McTominay (€5.6M), and the second-highest-paid forward, Matteo Politano (€6.3M).

Napoli's Four-Tier Salary Structure

The squad's salaries are grouped into four distinct tiers. An elite tier is occupied solely by Kevin De Bruyne (€10.2M). A high-earner tier (over €5M) includes players like Romelu Lukaku, Matteo Politano, and Scott McTominay. A large mid-tier group earns between €3M and €5M, while a lower tier of players earns under €3M.

McTominay and Neres on Equal Pay

Midfielder Scott McTominay and forward David Neres are on the exact same salary of €5.6M per year, making them the joint third-highest earners at the club.

Three Players Share Identical Salary

A trio of players from defense and midfield earn the exact same wage. Leonardo Spinazzola (LB), Amir Rrahmani (CB), and Billy Gilmour (DM) are all paid €3.3M annually.

Lukaku Leads the Forward Line Wages

The highest-paid attacker at the club is centre-forward Romelu Lukaku, whose salary is €7.9M per year. He is the second-highest earner in the entire squad.

Di Lorenzo is Defense's Top Earner

Right-back Giovanni Di Lorenzo is the highest-paid defender at the club with an annual salary of €5.5M.

De Bruyne is Napoli's Top Earner

Attacking midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is the club's highest-paid player, earning an annual salary of €10.2M. He earns over €2M more than the next highest-paid player.

Transfer rumour salaries: Goretzka, Pellegrini, and Santos
