According to Cityโs Annual Report and UEFAโs official numbers โ Cityโs player wage bill is app. ยฃ330m. Divided on 20 players, that is on AVERAGE 317k a week. This is very modest, it was app. ยฃ308m in 24/25 and their squad has grown significantly.
So how is it possible that Anderson only will earn 300k a week โ if he reach his bonuses? Itโs simple, itโs not. Cityโs information planted in media is pure nonsense. Every time City sign a player, a wage number is leaked to media. If we add those numbers up, which is what Capology does, the total is around 190-200m. Yet the real number is ยฃ330m. So on average โ any leaked number by City must be increased with more than 50%.
As another reference point, we can look at Man Utd. How much was United paying its players according to its annual report in 21/22 with Ronaldo, Varane. Pogba, De Gea, Sancho, Martial, Cavani, Maguire, Mata, Fernandes and co on the wage bill? Everyone of them were on massive wages between 200k and 500k a week (Ronaldo). So surely 500m if City is paying its players 330m? No, United had a player wage bill of app. ยฃ260m in 21/22. At least 70m less than City today. 70m less, that is 7 players on 200k a week. And Unitedโs squad in 21/22 was massive compared to Cityโs today. Today United pay its players app. ยฃ160-170m.
There have been some leaks about Liverpoolโs wages. Liverpool pay really high wages, but a little less than City. The leaks confirms that players like Gakpo and Gravenberch are on 260-270k a week. Is Anderson getting just 10% more from City?
Anyone who look at these things a bit more closely can deduct that there is no way that Anderson is getting paid as little as 300k a week if bonuses are reached. Itโs pure nonsense, maybe his weekly wage is 300k and the sign on bonus is 10m a year over 5 years. His guaranteed pay if he plays football for City will be around at least 400k. And itโs not up for debate. Why? You donโt have a player wage bill of ยฃ330m a year if you pay top signings 300k a week.
330m divided on 20 players is 317k a week โ on AVERAGE.
