Florian Wirtz salary: How much does Bayer Leverkusen star earn per week and annually in Bundesliga?

Under Wirtz's current contract with the German team, he earns a substantial £72,368 ($94,735) weekly, with his annual salary reaching an impressive £3.7 million ($4.9m).

Despite his outstanding performances and unwavering commitment to Bayer, Wirtz surprisingly does not make it into the top-five highest earners at the club.

Leading Bayer Leverkusen's wage list is the talented French defender Nordi Mukiele, who joined the club in the summer of 2024.

Close behind are fullback Alejandro Grimaldo and striker Patrik Schick, both earning the same wages. These two stars were instrumental in Bayer's championship-winning season.

In fourth place is Edmond Tapsoba, followed by Argentine midfielder Exequiel Palacios, both earning equal wages.

Imagine a league where no Bayer player cracks the top-five highest-paid list. This starkly highlights Bayern Munich's financial dominance, as they lead the league with a staggering wage bill. In fact, the top thirteen earners in the Bundesliga are all Bayern stars, showcasing their unparalleled investment in talent. Borussia Dortmund's Niklas Sule only manages to break into the list at number fourteen.

Despite the substantial earnings of Bundesliga players, particularly Bayern's stars, they don't make it to the top five highest-paid players globally. This elite list is entirely dominated by Saudi Pro League players, with the legendary forward Cristiano Ronaldo leading the pack.

Following closely is his former Real Madrid teammate, Karim Benzema, in second place.

Next, Riyad Mahrez secures the third spot, with Senegalese stars Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly completing the top five.
