Bayern Munich wages revealed with Lewandowski earning less than two Prem stars and Alphonso Davies on just £82k a week
BAYERN MUNICH pay top star Robert Lewandowski a hefty £325,000 weekly wage, reports in Germany have revealed.
Despite the Polish striker being named Fifa’s Player of the Year in 2020 and leading Bayern to a stunning treble, he is some way off being Europe’s best-paid player.
Lewandowski signed his latest Bayern deal 18 months ago and takes home a pretty £16.75m-a-year.
That makes him the club’s top earner, ahead of Manuel Neuer (£300,000-a-week), Leroy Sane (£275,000) and Thomas Muller (£250,000).
In numbers released by German outlet Vermogen Magazin, Die Roten were shown to be paying seven stars at least £200,000-a-week.
Lucas Hernandez, Jerome Boateng and Juventus loanee Douglas Costa also pocket at least that.
Completing the top ten are the £160,000-a-week trio of Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and David Alaba.
The Austrian defender is set to leave Munich at the end of the season when his contract expires, amid rumours of him demanding £400,000-a-week to sign a new contract with the Bavarians.
Other notable figures on the club’s books are Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies.
Young winger Musiala signed a first professional deal with Bayern last week, elevating him from a weekly wage of £6,500 to £100,000.
While Canadian left-back Davies takes home around £82,500-a-week, the same as World Cup winner Benjamin Pavard.
Lewandowski’s position as the club’s best-paid star leaves him behind the Premier League’s two top earners.
