Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Two Players Nearly Match Entire Attack

The combined salary of the two top earners, right-back Jonjoe Kenny and midfielder Mady Camara (€3.2M total), is almost equal to the entire wage bill for all seven forwards combined (€3.9M).

Defender Out-earns Top Attacker

The club's highest-paid player is a defender, Jonjoe Kenny (€1.6M), who earns more than the highest-paid forward, Kiril Despodov (€1.3M).

Right Wing Wages Dwarf The Left

There is a massive pay disparity between the flanks. The two right wingers, Kiril Despodov (€1.3M) and Andrija Živković (€1.2M), combine to earn €2.5M. This is more than three times the combined salary of the two left wingers, Taison (€625K) and Dimitrios Berdos (€100K), who together earn just €725K.

Huge Pay Gap in Attacking Midfield

There is a significant wage disparity between the club's two attacking midfielders. Giannis Konstantelias earns €1.5M, more than double the salary of his positional counterpart Dimitrios Pelkas (€650K).

Full-Backs on Equal Pay

The club pays two of its full-backs, right-back Jorge Sánchez and left-back Greg Taylor, the exact same salary of €900K.
