Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Top Earner's Pay Gap Exceeds Top Defender's Salary

The salary gap between the club's highest earner, John Swift (€1.3M), and the second-highest, Marko Milovanović (€780K), is approximately €520K. This gap alone is larger than the entire annual salary of the club's highest-paid defender, Madiodio Dia (€500K).

One Player Earns More Than Ten Teammates

The club's top earner, John Swift (€1.3M), has a salary greater than the combined wages of the ten lowest-paid players on the squad, whose earnings total approximately €1M.

The €375K Trio

Left-back Connor Ogilvie, right-back Terry Devlin, and central midfielder Márk Kosznovszky all earn the exact same salary of €375K. This creates a unique wage cluster that spans across both the defense and midfield.

Teenage Forward Out-earns Peers

At 17, forward Ryan Kavuma-McQueen (€100K) earns substantially more than the club's other teenage prospects. His salary is double that of 18-year-old defender Chinedu Agu (€50K) and more than six times that of 18-year-old midfielder Luke Brooke-Smith (€15K).

Top Goalkeeper Out-earns Top Defender

The club's highest-paid goalkeeper, Nicolas Schmid (€624K), earns significantly more than the highest-paid defender, Madiodio Dia (€500K).

Young Defender Out-earns Veterans

The club's highest-paid defender is 22-year-old centre-back Madiodio Dia (€500K). He earns substantially more than the squad's older, more experienced defenders, including Connor Ogilvie (30), Conor Shaughnessy (30), and Regan Poole (28).

Portsmouth's Four-Tier Payroll

The club's salary structure is split into four clear tiers. John Swift (€1.3M) is the sole elite earner. A second tier of six senior players, including Marko Milovanović and Ebou Adams, earns between €615K and €780K. A large third tier of players earns between €220K and €550K, while a fourth tier of young prospects earns under €200K.

Milovanović Leads The Attack's Payroll

Marko Milovanović is the highest-paid attacker at the club. The 23-year-old centre-forward's salary of €780K makes him the top earner among all forwards and the second-highest earner overall.

Dia Leads The Defensive Line

Madiodio Dia is the highest-paid defender at the club. The 22-year-old centre-back's salary of €500K places him at the top of the defensive wage structure.

John Swift: The Club's Lone Millionaire

Attacking midfielder John Swift is the club's top earner and the only player with a salary exceeding €1M. His €1.3M annual wage places him in a financial category of his own, earning over €500K more than the next highest-paid player.
