Borussia Dortmund wages: Who is the best paid player at BVB and everything you need to know about Dortmund's salary bill

Swiss international Gregor Kobel is undoubtedly the highest-paid goalkeeper at Borussia Dortmund and ranks among the club's top earners. His elevated salary reflects his importance to the team, and it's likely something he takes great pride in, given his key role in the squad.

Alexander Meyer is the second-highest paid goalkeeper, earning just over a million euros. And then 23-year-old Marcel Lotka is the lowest-paid goalkeeper, which is quite understandably a fair reflection of the player's current standing at the club.

The highest-paid defender at Borussia Dortmund is Niklas Sule, who earns an impressive €10 million annually. Behind him is right-back Julian Ryerson, who earns exactly half the wages as Sule.

Fans would've certainly expected to see Nico Schlotterbeck higher on this list, earning more than his "modest" €4.72 million annual salary.

Ramy Bensebaini, who has been in good form for BVB, is the fourth-highest paid defender, just ahead of Waldemar Anton.

Yan Couto and Almugera Kabar are the lowest-paid defenders.

No surprises in midfield, either. Emre Can is the top-earning midfielder at Dortmund, closely edging out Marcel Sabitzer. Felix Nmecha is the third-highest earning midfielder in the squad.

Pascal Gross has a decent salary, too, but he is the second-lowest paid midfielder in the squad, with 18-year-old central midfielder Kjell Watjen earning the least among all Dortmund midfielders.

Serhou Guirassy is the highest-paid forward in the squad, with a €9.4 million package annually. Julian Brandt is the second-highest earning forward, but the BVB faithful would have wanted to see him earn a bit more than just €7 million per year.

Karim Adeyemi, Maximilian Beier, and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens are next on the list in terms of wages, ahead of USMNT star Giovanni Reyna, who earns a modest €2.5 million every season.

Julien Duranville and Cole Campbell are the lowest-paid forwards in the squads, having six-figure annual salaries.

Sule is the highest-paid player at Borussia Dortmund, and the only one to earn an eight-figure salary at the club. Behind him, although not too far behind, is Guirassy.

With a €9 million salary, Kobel is the third-highest paid player at the club. Emre Can is the fourth-highest paid player with a salary of €8 million, with Sabitzer securing the fifth spot on this list.

American forward Campbell is the joint-lowest paid player at Dortmund along with teenage left-back Algumera Kabar.

Goalkeeper Marcel Lotka and Belgian wonderkid Duranville are the joint-third lowest-paid players in the squad, with Kjell Watjen rounding out the list.

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

Die Roten are allocating almost over €37 million to their attackers' salaries, making this the highest expenditure area in terms of wages.
