Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Defenders Are The Top Earners

Unusually for a football club, the two highest-paid players are both defenders. Right-back Jack Stacey and centre-back Shane Duffy share the top spot, each earning €2.1M annually, more than any attacker or midfielder.

The €1.6M Five-Player Logjam

A significant salary cluster exists at the €1.6M mark, with five players from four different positions earning this exact amount. The group includes forwards Mathias Kvistgaarden and Josh Sargent, midfielders Jeffrey Schlupp and Emiliano Marcondes, and defender Harry Darling.

Keeper Earns More Than 20 Teammates

Goalkeeper Vladan Kovačević, on €950K, has a higher salary than 20 different outfield players on the team. This includes nine midfielders, six forwards, and five fellow defenders.

A 22x Wage Gap

The club's top earners, Jack Stacey and Shane Duffy (€2.1M), each earn over 22 times the salary of the lowest-paid player in the squad, 20-year-old centre-back Ruairi McConville (€94K).

Experience Commands Top Wages

The three oldest players in the squad are all among the club's highest earners. Shane Duffy (34) is a joint top earner at €2.1M, while Kenny McLean (34) and Jeffrey Schlupp (33) earn €1.5M and €1.6M respectively.

Norwich's Multi-Tiered Payroll

The squad has a clear salary hierarchy. An elite tier of two players earns €2.1M, followed by a sub-elite group of seven players earning between €1.5M and €1.6M. A single player earns €1.2M, with the rest of the squad earning under €1M.

Two Midfielders Share Top Pay
