Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Midfield Trio Out-Earns Entire Attack

The combined salary of the top three midfielders, Mady Camara, Giannis Konstantelias, and Soualiho Meïté (€4.3M), is higher than the total wage bill for all seven forwards combined (€3.8M).

PAOK's Right-Back Riches

The club spends €3.3M annually on four right-backs (Jonjoe Kenny, Jorge Sánchez, Joan Sastre, and Dimitrios Tsopouroglou), a sum that nearly equals the entire €3.8M budget for the seven-player forward line.

One Right-Back Out-earns Goalkeepers

Top earner Jonjoe Kenny, a right-back, has an individual salary of €1.6M, which is substantially more than the combined €1.0M salary of all three goalkeepers on the roster.

Two Wingers Dominate Forward Wages

The two highest-paid forwards, wingers Kiril Despodov and Andrija Živković, have a combined salary of €2.5M. This is nearly double the combined €1.3M paid to the other five forwards on the team.

Full-Backs Command Top Defensive Salaries

The three highest-paid defenders at the club are all full-backs: Jonjoe Kenny (€1.6M), Greg Taylor (€1.1M), and Abdul Rahman Baba (€1.1M). They earn more than any central defender on the roster.

Right-Backs Paid More Than Center-Backs

The club's total salary expenditure on its four right-backs (€3.3M) is significantly higher than the total spent on its four center-backs (€2.4M).

Twin Salaries at Left-Back

The club's two primary left-backs, Greg Taylor and Abdul Rahman Baba, are on identical contracts, with both players earning exactly €1.1M per year.

PAOK's Six Million-Euro Men

The club's salary structure is topped by an elite group of six players earning €1.2M or more annually. This tier includes Jonjoe Kenny, Mady Camara, Giannis Konstantelias, Kiril Despodov, Soualiho Meïté, and Andrija Živković.

Youth Players Share Starting Salary

Two of the club's teenage prospects, center-forward Anestis Mythou (19) and center-back Dimitrios Bataoulas (19), are on the exact same salary of €150K per year.

Defender and Midfielder Top Wage Bill

The club's highest salary is not paid to a single attacker, but is shared between right-back Jonjoe Kenny and central midfielder Mady Camara, who both earn €1.6M per year.
