Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

A Defender Is The Top Earner

Unconventionally, the highest-paid player at the club is not an attacker but a defender. Right-back Sergiño Dest earns €3.9M, making him the top earner in the entire squad.

Veteran Perišić Earns Less Than Prospects

Despite a decorated career, 36-year-old winger Ivan Perišić earns €980K. This is less than half the salary of younger players like 20-year-old Paul Wanner (€2.3M) and 23-year-old Ricardo Pepi (€2.4M).

Lone Goalkeeper Earns Less Than Defenders

The club's only listed goalkeeper, Nick Olij, has a salary of €690K. This is less than the wage of multiple defenders, including right-back Kiliann Sildillia (€700K) and center-back Adamo Nagalo (€780K).

Dest Earns More Than Four Forwards

Top earner Sergiño Dest's €3.9M salary is greater than the combined wages of four of the club's forwards: Myron Boadu, Ivan Perišić, Couhaib Driouech, and Esmir Bajraktarević, who collectively earn approximately €3.4M.

PSV's Three-Tier Wage Structure

The club's salaries are grouped into three clear tiers. The Elite Tier, earning over €2.5M, includes players like Sergiño Dest and Dennis Man.

The Foundation Tier consists of players earning under €1.5M, including Yarek Gasiorowski and Ivan Perišić.
