The weekly wages of Bayern Munich first-team players for the 2024-25 season have been revealed, with some handsome paychecks unravelled.
It is pertinent to note that footballers in most top leagues in Europe, including the Bundesliga, don’t receive their payment on a weekly basis. However, their regular normal earnings are evaluated based on their contract terms.
The official paychecks for players are always articulated on an annual basis, with the value broken down by analysts to their weekly measures for purposes of evaluation.
What is the weekly wage of Bayern Munich’s first-team players?
Bayern Munich are the biggest spenders in Bundesliga both on transfers and players’ wages. According to Capology, the Bundesliga club’s estimated spending on wage settlement for players alone is €5,283,000 weekly. The annual value amounts to €274,720,000.
The reason for the relatively high spending on wages cannot be farfetched. The 32-time Bundesliga champions boast a great number of players with astronomical wages compared to other domestic rivals.
From A-list caders of players such as Harry Kane, Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller, and more, the wage figures are six digits with some players earning as much as over €400,000 weekly.
Notably, there are also low-earning cadre of players. These are mostly youngsters not really active with the first team but recently drafted from the club’s youth levels. Tarek Buchmann and Tom Hulsmann belong to this category, with wages as low as €2,885 each per week.

Before the arrival of Harry Kane, the club’s legendary goalkeeper and longest-serving player, Manuel Neuer, was their biggest earner. Neuer’s annual paycheck with the Bavarians is €21,000,000. His weekly wage is €408,000, €77,000 less than Harry Kane’s.
Another long-serving Bayern Munich player, Thomas Muller, makes the top five list on the salary ladder. The 34-year-old, who has spent over a decade at the club, earns €20,500,000 annually at the club. His weekly wage is €394,000. Muller is closely followed by former Manchester City forward Leroy Sane, who boasts €200,000,000 as an annual wage and €384,000 weekly.
Joshua Kimmich completes the top five names with the highest paycheck on Bayern’s payroll. Kimmich’s weekly wage is €375,000 with his annual offer pecked at €19,500,000.
Weekly wages of middle and least-earning Bayern Munich players
