Bayern Munich is one of the top football clubs in Europe. This status helps the club attract some of the best players in the world. But keeping such a talented squad is expensive.
Top footballers ask for big contracts. The club spends millions every year on player salaries as it fights for titles in Germany and Europe.
According to GiveMeSport, using data from Capology on Thursday, Harry Kane, the England captain and 2026 Ballon d’Or winner, is Bayern Munich’s top earner. He reportedly makes £406,719 each week.
Kane's salary puts him ahead of other key players like Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich. The reported salaries cover players in all areas of the team, including goalkeeping, defense, midfield, and attack, but do not include bonuses for performance.
Kane Leads Bayern's Highest Earners
Kane is Bayern Munich’s biggest earner. His weekly pay is more than £21 million a year before bonuses. The England striker is a key player in the team’s attack. His earnings reflect his status as one of the best forwards in the world.
Musiala comes in second, earning £371,416 weekly. The Germany international is a valuable attacking player, but he is working hard to regain his form after a serious injury.
Kimmich is also among the top earners, with a reported salary of £325,375 a week after signing a new deal in March 2025. Serge Gnabry has a high salary too, even after taking a pay cut, making £211,494 each week.
Luis Díaz, who moved to Bayern from Liverpool in 2025, earns £227,763 weekly. This is slightly higher than Michael Olise’s £219,791. Olise could see an increase in pay if he signs a new contract, according to the report.
Bayern's Goalkeepers' Salaries
Manuel Neuer, the veteran goalkeeper, is the highest-paid player in Bayern’s goalkeeping group. He reportedly makes £245,496 weekly. This salary reflects his status in world football and his long service to Bayern.
Sven Ulreich, who has mostly been Neuer’s backup, earns £30,748 a week. Jonas Urbig reportedly takes home £21,475. These figures show the big difference in salaries between Bayern’s first-choice goalkeeper and the backup options.
Upamecano Leads Defensive Earners
Dayot Upamecano is Bayern Munich’s highest-paid defender. He earns over £260,000 each week after renewing his contract in the summer of 2026. Alphonso Davies is also a top earner in defense, making £244,032 weekly.
Jonathan Tah and Kim Min-jae each earn just under £200,000 a week. Konrad Laimer, who can play in multiple positions, gets nearly £150,000. Josip Stanišić earns more than £100,000 weekly, while Hiroki Ito’s reported salary is around £60,000.
Nathaniel Brown, who the report says joined from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2026, earns £122,829 each week.
Kimmich Leads Midfield Wages
Kimmich is the top earner in Bayern’s midfield, with a weekly salary of £325,375. Leon Goretzka, who the report says moved to Aston Villa, used to earn £216,614 weekly.
Young midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović reportedly makes £92,081 weekly, while Tom Bischof takes home £46,041. Teenagers Bara Sapoko Ndiaye and David Santos Daiber are among the lower-paid midfielders, each reportedly earning £9,273 a week.
Díaz, Olise and Gnabry Among Attacking Earners
Bayern’s attack has several players with big contracts. Díaz earns £227,763 weekly after his move from Liverpool, while Olise receives £219,791. Gnabry’s salary is £211,494 after a cut from his previous £314,424 earnings.
Ismael Saibari, who joined from PSV in a €50 million deal in the summer of 2026, earns £162,688 weekly. Young forward Lennart Karl's wages reportedly went up to £61,333 per week in early 2026 after he got better terms.
Despite the high salaries, Kane is still Bayern Munich’s highest-paid player, followed by Musiala and Kimmich. The figures show the financial commitment needed to keep a team that can compete at the highest level. These reported wages are estimates and might not include all bonuses or other payments.
