Why salary estimates differ by source
FootyStats’ figures are not interchangeable with other salary databases. FBref’s 2025/26 wage table, which identifies Capology as its provider and marks some entries as unverified estimates, lists Kane at €25 million annually, Neuer at €21 million, Kimmich at €20 million, Gnabry at €18.87 million, Luis Díaz at €14 million and Olise at €13.51 million. It also lists Musiala at €18.87 million and Davies at €15 million.
#1 Best Overall
- BREATHABLE PERFORMANCE: Mesh side panels increase airflow to help keep you cool when the pace rises.
- SWEAT-WICKING COMFORT: dryCELL technology helps keep you dry and comfortable from warm-up to the final whistle.
- AUTHENTIC DETAILS: Team crest at the left chest and PUMA Cat logo at the right chest deliver official on-field energy.
- STREAMLINED FINISH: Flat knit collar and cuffs give a clean look that plays well on and off the field.
- FOREVER BETTER: PUMA is always pushing to be better than we were yesterday. FOREVER BETTER is our commitment to reduce our environmental impact and work together towards a sustainable future. The garment is made with at least 95% recycled materials.
Those differences are large enough that the figures should not be blended into a single ranking. The sources do not provide enough consistent methodology to establish whether they count the same compensation components, such as bonuses, signing payments or image rights. Neither figure should be treated as a verified contract amount or as a confirmed measure of take-home pay.

The DFL’s 2024/25 Economic Report says salaries for professional players and coaching staff at the league’s 18 clubs reached €1.72 billion, a 2.8% year-over-year increase. It also reports that payroll costs for match operations represented 33.6% of Bundesliga revenue. These are league-wide totals covering players and coaching staff, not individual salary disclosures, so they cannot verify the ranking above.

FootyStats labels its data as last verified for 2025/26 even though the live page’s season selector has moved to 2026/27. The list here therefore refers specifically to the 2025/26 estimates; it should not be read as an official ranking for the 2026/27 season.
