Wolverhampton Wanderers Salaries 2026/27

Center-back Toti Gomes, with an annual salary of €5.0M, is paid more than every single midfielder at the club. The highest-paid midfielder, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, earns €4.6M.

The club's top earner, Kieran Trippier (€6.7M), has a higher annual salary than the combined wages of the seven lowest-paid players on the roster (Sean Neave, John Ruddy, Mateus Mané, Tawanda Chirewa, Tommy Doyle, Nathan Fraser, and Enso González), which total approximately €3.6M.

There is a significant wage gap within the midfield. The top four midfielders all earn over €3.4M annually, while the fifth-highest paid midfielder, Rodrigo Gomes, earns just €1.6M, less than half of the next highest.

The club's wage structure features several identical salary pairings across different areas of the pitch. Center-back Nasser Djiga and midfielder Marshall Munetsi both earn €4.3M. Further down, left-back Hugo Bueno and midfielder Rodrigo Gomes share a €1.6M salary, while midfielder Tommy Doyle and forward Nathan Fraser are both on €625K contracts.

The two highest-paid players at the club, right-back Kieran Trippier (age 36) and center-forward Raúl Jiménez (age 35), are both in the latter stages of their careers, commanding the only two salaries over €6M.

The two lowest-paid players in the squad are at opposite ends of their careers. 19-year-old center-forward Sean Neave is the absolute lowest earner (€36K), while 40-year-old goalkeeper John Ruddy is the third-lowest earner (€416K).

The squad's salaries are grouped into five distinct tiers. An elite tier (over €6M) is occupied by Kieran Trippier and Raúl Jiménez. A senior tier (€4M-€5M) includes eight players such as Toti Gomes and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. A mid-tier (€2.5M-€4M) features four players like José Sá and Boubacar Traoré. A developing tier (€1.5M-€2.0M) contains four players like Hugo Bueno and Rodrigo Gomes. Finally, a youth/fringe tier (under €1M) is comprised of eight players, including João Virgínia and Nathan Fraser.

The highest-paid player at the club is not a forward, but right-back Kieran Trippier, whose annual salary is €6.7M. This makes him the top earner in both the defense and the entire squad.

Center-forward Raúl Jiménez is the highest-paid player in the attack, with an annual salary of €6.1M.

The highest-paid player in the midfield is central midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who earns €4.6M annually. He is the only midfielder earning above €4.5M.
