Josip Sutalo salary: How much does Ajax star earn per week and annually in Eredivisie?

Croatian defender Josip Sutalo moved to the Netherlands to join Ajax in 2023, having previously played for Dinamo Zagreb after coming through their youth system.

Sutalo has been a reliable presence at the back for both Ajax and Croatia after a somewhat rocky start in Amsterdam, consistently delivering strong performances now.

He remains a key player in the current Ajax setup, with his ball-playing abilities playing a crucial role in the team’s build-up play.

In addition to his importance on the pitch, Sutalo is also one of the highest-paid players in the Ajax dressing room. His current contract runs until 2028, and he is well-compensated for his role.

But exactly how much does he earn?
