Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Center-Back Out-Earns Entire Midfield

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

Top Four Defenders Out-Earn Entire Attack

The combined annual salary of the four highest-paid defenders (Kieran Trippier, Toti Gomes, Nasser Djiga, and Jackson Tchatchoua) is approximately €20.7M. This total is greater than the combined wage bill for the entire nine-player forward group, which stands at €20.2M.

A Defender's Pay Surpasses Key Forwards

The club's third highest-paid defender, center-back Nasser Djiga (€4.3M), earns more than the two joint-second highest-paid forwards, Bertrand Traoré and Adam Armstrong, who both earn €4.0M annually.

Midfield's Massive Pay Cliff

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.

One Player Earns More Than Seven Combined

The club's top earner, Kieran Trippier (€7.3M), has a higher annual salary than the combined wages of the seven lowest-paid players on the roster (Sean Neave, Mateus Mané, Tawanda Chirewa, Tommy Doyle, Nathan Fraser, João Virgínia, and Enso González), which total approximately €4.2M.

Club's Highest Earners Are Both 35

The two highest-paid players at the club, right-back Kieran Trippier (€7.3M) and center-forward Raúl Jiménez (€6.1M), are both 35 years old, making them the oldest players on the provided roster.

Wolves' Five-Tier Salary Structure

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 André. A mid-tier (€2.5M-€3.6M) features five players like José Sá and Boubacar Traoré. A developing tier (€1.5M-€1.9M) contains four players like Hugo Bueno and Rodrigo Gomes. Finally, a youth/fringe tier (under €1M) is comprised of eight players, including Pedro Lima and Nathan Fraser.

Right-Back Is The Club's Top Earner

The highest-paid player at the club is not a forward, but right-back Kieran Trippier, whose annual salary is €7.3M. This makes him the top earner in both the defense and the entire squad.

Raúl Jiménez Leads The Attack's Payroll

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

Midfield Duo Share Top Spot

Defensive midfielder André and central midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are the joint highest-paid players in the midfield group, each with an annual salary of €4.6M.
