Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Paquetá Out-earns Entire Attack

Attacking midfielder Lucas Paquetá, with a salary of €9.3M, earns more than the combined salaries of the club's other three forwards: Crysencio Summerville, Callum Wilson, and Pablo, who collectively earn €7.0M.

Wide Attackers Dominate Top Salaries

The club's highest salaries are concentrated in wide attacking (RW) and attacking midfield (AM) roles. The highest-paid centre-forward, Callum Wilson, earns just €2.4M, less than a third of the top earner's wage.

Defender and Midfielder on Equal Pay

Right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka and defensive midfielder Tomáš Souček are on the exact same salary of €5.6M per year.

Veteran Goalkeeper Out-earns Forwards

Goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański (€3.1M), the oldest player in the squad at 40, has a higher salary than forwards Crysencio Summerville, Callum Wilson, and Pablo.

The Four Tiers of Wages

The squad's salaries fall into four distinct tiers. An elite tier above €9M features Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paquetá. A senior tier between €5M-€7M includes players like James Ward-Prowse and Max Kilman, while the rest of the squad is divided into a mid-tier (€2.8M-€5M) and a lower tier (below €2.8M).

Age Not The Top Salary Factor

The club's oldest player, Łukasz Fabiański (40), and oldest outfield player, Callum Wilson (33), are not among the highest earners. Wilson's salary places him in the lowest wage tier.

Paquetá Nearly Matches Top Earner

Attacking midfielder Lucas Paquetá's €9.3M salary is just €100K less per year than the club's top earner, Jarrod Bowen.

Top Defender: Max Kilman

The highest-paid defender is centre-back Max Kilman, who earns €6.2M per year.

Top Midfielder: Lucas Paquetá

The highest-paid midfielder is attacking midfielder Lucas Paquetá, with an annual salary of €9.3M.

Top Earner: Jarrod Bowen

The club's highest-paid player is right winger Jarrod Bowen, with an annual salary of €9.4M.

Transfer rumour salaries: Adama Traoré

Latest reported salary figures for players linked with a move to the club.
