Newcastle United Salaries 2025/26

The club's total wage spend is remarkably balanced across its main outfield groups. Forwards are paid a total of €40.9M, midfielders €42.2M, and defenders €39.1M, showing near-equal payroll investment in each area of the pitch.

Centre-back Sven Botman's individual salary of €9.2M is greater than the combined annual wages of all three of the club's goalkeepers, which totals €5.2M.

Despite being a centre-back, Sven Botman (€9.2M) earns more than every forward at the club with the sole exception of Anthony Gordon (€9.4M).

A significant wage gap exists between the club's top centre-backs. Sven Botman (€9.2M) earns nearly double the salary of the next highest-paid player in that position, Malick Thiaw (€4.7M).

The club's joint second-highest salary of €9.4M is shared by two players in different positions: central midfielder Joelinton and winger Anthony Gordon.

A salary cluster exists at the €8.0M mark, shared by two players in different positions: central midfielder Sandro Tonali and secondary striker Nick Woltemade.

Among players aged 23 or younger, a clear pay structure exists. Defenders Valentino Livramento (€3.1M) and Lewis Hall (€2.8M) and midfielder Lewis Miley (€2.7M) form a top youth tier. This is significantly higher than other young players like forward William Osula (€1.6M) and those on sub-€1M wages.

The club's wages are grouped into four clear tiers. The Elite tier (over €9M) includes Guimarães, Joelinton, Gordon, and Botman. A High Earner tier (€7.4M-€8.7M) features Wissa, Woltemade, Tonali, Trippier, and Ramsey. A Mid-tier (€4.3M-€6.2M) contains players like Elanga, Barnes, and Thiaw, and a Lower tier (under €4M) includes Pope, Livramento, and younger players.

The highest-paid player at the club is defensive midfielder Bruno Guimarães, with an annual salary of €9.8M.

Anthony Gordon is the top-paid forward (€9.4M), while Sven Botman is the highest-paid defender (€9.2M). Both are among the club's top four earners overall.
