Salary databases estimate Demarai Gray’s Birmingham City base wage at £30,000 a week. For his Al-Ettifaq spell in Saudi Arabia, estimates range from about £76,500 to £85,000 a week. That puts the Saudi estimates at roughly 2.6 to 2.8 times the Birmingham figure, but neither club’s reported wage should be treated as a confirmed contract disclosure.
How the reported wages compare
| Club and period | Reported weekly estimate | Annual figure | Source and qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birmingham City, 2025–26 and 2026–27 | £30,000 | £1,560,000 fixed salary | Capology, 2026 estimate; SalaryLeaks lists the same weekly estimate. |
| Al-Ettifaq, 2023–24 | £76,549 | Not stated | Capology, 2026 estimate. |
| Al-Ettifaq, 2024–25 | £77,482 | Not stated | Capology, 2026 estimate. |
| Al-Ettifaq, period not specified | £85,000 | £4.4 million | SalaryLeaks, page reviewed in 2026. |
Capology labels the Birmingham annual amount as fixed salary and separates it from bonuses; SalaryLeaks also lists Birmingham bonuses separately. The Saudi estimates are not presented consistently enough to establish a single exact figure or a comparable annual fixed-salary total.
What the difference amounts to
Using the reported weekly estimates, Al-Ettifaq’s pay was about £46,500 to £55,000 more per week than the Birmingham estimate. That is roughly 2.6 to 2.8 times £30,000. These comparisons are arithmetic using salary-site estimates, not confirmed payroll figures.
Why the figures are estimates, not confirmed earnings
The salary pages do not provide an official club disclosure, contract document or named-person statement confirming Gray’s wages. Nor do they establish what he actually received after bonuses, tax or other compensation. A listed weekly wage is therefore best read as an estimate of reported base pay, not a verified take-home amount.

SalarySport provides another cross-check in US dollars: its 2026 page lists $49,950 a week at Birmingham in 2026 and $126,900 a week at Al-Ettifaq in 2024. Those are dollar-denominated estimates, not sterling contract amounts, and they do not resolve the difference between the sterling estimates. SalarySport’s Demarai Gray page.
