Benjamin Sesko salary: How much does RB Leipzig star earn per week and annually in Bundesliga?

Under his current contract with the Bundesliga club, Sesko commands a significant salary of £93,562 ($123,618) per week. This places him seventh on Leipzig's wage list, just behind fellow talent Xavi Simons in sixth and Willi Orban in fifth.

At the forefront of the German club's wage hierarchy are David Raum and Benjamin Henrichs, both earning top salaries. Their versatility in playing as midfielders and fullbacks makes them invaluable assets.

Following closely is Danish forward Yussuf Poulsen, who shares his salary bracket with Lukas Klostermann and Willi Orban. This parity in wages underscores the club's commitment to rewarding talent and versatility.

Leipzig players do not feature in the top-five highest-paid players in the league.

Bayern Munich's financial dominance in the league is starkly evident when compared to other clubs' wage bills.

Among all Bundesliga footballers, the top thirteen highest earners are Bayern stars.

Borussia Dortmund's Niklas Sule is the first non-Bayern player, ranking fourteenth.

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

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

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