Bayern Munich wages: Who is the best paid player at Die Roten and everything you need to know about Bayern's salary bill

Was there ever really any doubt as to who was Bayern's highest-earning keeper? Obviously, it is the evergreen Manuel Neuer, who continues to be one of the top earners at the club, making over €21 million.

Sven Ulreich, a long-time servant at the Allianz Arena, is the second-highest earning goalkeeper. However, he's making more than 10 times less than what Neuer is.

Israeli custodian is the lowest-paid goalkeeper, and is among the lowest-paid players at the club.

The highest-paid defender at Bayern Munich is Kim Min-jae, who earns an impressive €12 million annually. His center-back partner, Dayot Upamecano, also enjoys a generous salary, earning a respectable €10 million per year, ensuring both players are well-compensated for their contributions to the team.

One of the players whose future at the club is uncertain is Alphonso Davies, who also happens to be Bayern's second-best paid defender after Kim. Should he renew with the club, there's absolutely no qualms about the fact that he'll become the highest-paid defender, and perhaps one of the highest-earning players overall.

Portugal international Raphael Guerreiro has been a good signing for Bayern since arriving from rivals Borussia Dortmund, and even he can't be too unhappy about his €8 million annual package.

Teenage talents Adam Aznou and Tarek Buchmann are the lowest-paid defenders, with the latter yet to make his official debut for the first team.

No surprises in midfield, either. Joshua Kimmich is the undisputed top-earning midfielder at Bayern, with a salary close to €20 million.

Next in line is Leon Goretzka, with the 29-year-old earning €13 million per year.

Joao Palhinha made a high-profile move from Fulham last summer and is the club's third-highest earning midfielder, ahead of Konrad Laimer and Aleksandar Pavlovic.

19-year-old Noel Aseko Nkili, who is currently playing for the Bayern Munich reserve side, is the lowest-paid midfielder at Bayern.

As straightforward as it comes - Harry Kane is the highest-paid forward in the squad and also the highest-paid player at Bayern Munich, with a €25 million package annually. Club legend Thomas Muller is the second-highest earning forward, with wingers Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman, and Leroy Sane following closely behind in terms of wages.

Summer signing Michael Olise commands a remarkable €13.5 million salary, underscoring his importance as a key player for both the present and the future of Bayern Munich.

It’s shocking to see that Jamal Musiala, arguably Bayern Munich’s most vital player for the future, earns just €5 million per season — on par with out-of-favor French winger Mathys Tel. Given Musiala’s immense potential and key role in the team, his salary seems notably modest in comparison to his value.

Bayern Munich's highest-paid player is Kane, earning €25 million gross per season. Muller and Neuer are the only other players to earn over €20 million per season at the club.

Kimmich is the club's fourth-highest earner, just ahead of Gnabry. The former is into the final year of his contract, while the latter's deal expires in June 2026.

Buchmann is the lowest-paid player in the Bayern Munich roster, earning a paltry €150,000 per season. Aseko Nkili and Aznou are the only other players to not earn over a million euros per season.

Peretz and Pavlovic round out the top five with modest salaries of €1.5 million apiece.

So, what does this mean for the bigger picture? In which area of the pitch are Bayern Munich investing the most, and how much do they spend annually on first-team salaries?

Die Roten are allocating almost €120 million to their attackers' salaries, making this the highest expenditure area in terms of wages.
