Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

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 (Mateus Mané, Nathan Fraser, Enso González, Pedro Lima, Daniel Bentley, and Rodrigo Gomes), which total approximately €5.7M.

Midfield's Massive Pay Cliff

There is a significant wage gap within the midfield. The top three midfielders—João Gomes (€6.4M), André (€4.7M), and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (€4.6M)—all earn over €4.5M annually. In contrast, the fourth midfielder, Rodrigo Gomes, earns just €1.6M, less than a third of the next lowest-paid midfielder.

Right-Back Paid Double Left-Backs

There is a major wage disparity between the club's full-back positions. The highest-paid right-back, Jackson Tchatchoua (€4.1M), earns more than double the salary of the highest-paid left-backs, Hugo Bueno and David Möller Wolfe (both €1.9M).

Massive Wage Gap Divides The Attack

There is a significant salary divide among the forwards. The top three earners (Raúl Jiménez, Tolu Arokodare, and Hee-chan Hwang) all make over €4.3M, while the bottom three (Enso González, Nathan Fraser, and Mateus Mané) all earn less than €1M.

Goalkeeping Duo on Identical Pay

The club's two senior goalkeepers, José Sá and Sam Johnstone, are on the exact same annual salary of €3.1M.

Three Defenders Share Same Salary

A trio of defenders, center-back Yerson Mosquera and left-backs Hugo Bueno and David Möller Wolfe, all earn the exact same annual salary of €1.9M.

The squad's salaries are grouped into five distinct tiers. An elite tier (over €6M) is occupied by João Gomes and Raúl Jiménez. A high-earner tier (€4M-€6M) includes six players such as Toti Gomes, André, and Hee-chan Hwang. A small mid-tier (€3M-€4M) features only the two senior goalkeepers, José Sá and Sam Johnstone. A large lower-tier (€1M-€3M) contains seven players including Ladislav Krejčí, Rodrigo Gomes, and Daniel Bentley. Finally, a youth/fringe tier (under €1M) is comprised of the four youngest players like Pedro Lima and Nathan Fraser.
