Leon Goretzka salary: How much does Bayern Munich star earn per week and annually in Bundesliga?

Leon Goretzka made his move to Bayern Munich after spending five seasons with then Bundesliga side Schalke and although he didn’t make a huge impact in his first season at Bayern, he became indispensable after the arrival of Hansi Flick in 2019.

The German midfielder played a vital role in the treble-winning 2019-20 campaign, forming a strong midfield duo with fellow German Joshua Kimmich.

Goretzka was rewarded with a new contract by Bayern in 2021, which will keep him at the club until 2026, along with a well-compensated salary.

So how much does the box-to-box midfielder take home each month?

    Top earners at Bayern Munich

    Although the German midfielder earns pretty well at Bayern, he misses out on a place in the top-five list.

    Acquiring the top position in rankings is the English forward Harry Kane, followed by the iconic Manuel Neuer at number two and Joshua Kimmich at third place.

    Meanwhile, at numbers four and five are the talented Jamal Musiala and former Arsenal player Serge Gnabry, with both players earning identical wages at Bayern.

    Highest paid players in the world

    Although Bundesliga players earn good sums of money, they fail to make it onto the list of the top five highest-paid players in the world.

    The list is completely dominated by Saudi Pro League players, with arguably one of the greatest forwards to play the game, Cristiano Ronaldo, sitting at the top.

    Meanwhile, his former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema follows him in second place.

    Moving on, Riyad Mahrez comes in at number three, followed by Senegalese internationals Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly.
