One Player Earns More Than Six Combined

The club's top earner, João Gomes (€6.4M), has a higher annual salary than the combined wages of the six lowest-paid players on the roster (Enso González, Nathan Fraser, Tawanda Chirewa, Mateus Mané, Rodrigo Gomes, and Daniel Bentley), which total approximately €5.5M.

Top Defender Out-Earns Top Striker

The club's highest-paid defender, center-back Toti Gomes (€5.0M), has a higher annual salary than the highest-paid forward, center-forward Tolu Arokodare (€4.5M).

Veteran Duo on Identical Contracts

Young Defensive Trio on Identical Pay

Three young defenders are on the exact same annual salary of €1.9M: center-back Yerson Mosquera (age 25), and left-backs Hugo Bueno (age 23) and David Möller Wolfe (age 24).
