FC Barcelona second with a wage bill of $548m\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n \nA Champions League trophy might still be eluding PSG, but the French champions have not shied away from paying the best wages in world football. According to the latest UEFA financial data, Paris Saint-Germain spent the most money on players\u2019 wages, $574m, in 2023 in European football (and, by default, world football).<\/span><\/p>\nThe situation was even worse for the French club in 2022 when they paid $679m in wages. However, PSG\u2019s Neyamar\u2019s departure has helped PSG bring down its player wages in 2023, and now that Kylian Mbappe is also leaving the club, one should expect PSG\u2019s wage to drop considerably in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\nFC Barcelona are second on the list with an annual player wage bill of $548m. The Catalan club has endured quite a hefty rise in its player wages in 2023, considering it only paid $376m in 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nEuropean champions Manchester City have also seen a significant rise in their wage bill in 2023. City paid $422m to its players as wages in 2023 compared to $348m the year before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nOn the other hand, Real Madrid, next on the list, managed to shrink its wage bill considerably in 2023. The capital club spent $501m on players\u2019 wages in 2022 but only had to pay $347m in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\nThe next two spots on the list are also occupied by Premier League heavyweights Liverpool and Manchester United. Liverpool\u2019s wage bill has remained almost stagnant at $335m in 2023, while United have managed to significantly reduce their annual bill from $366m to $270. Cristiano Ronalso\u2019s departure from the club has probably helped massively in this reduction.<\/span><\/p>\nGerman champions Bayern Munich are next with an annual wage bill of $334m – a moderate increase from $297m in 2022. Italian Juventus are next, with a significantly reduced wage bill of $244 million in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\nThe bottom two spots are occupied by Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid, with annual wage bills of $222m and $206m, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\nBarcelona\u2019s wage bill in 2023 increased by 45.7%<\/span><\/h2>\nWhen we look at changes in wage bills from 2022 to 2023, both La Liga giants – Barcelona and Real Madrid – stand out but for opposite reasons.<\/span><\/p>\nBarcelona has witnessed the highest increase in wages among all top European clubs. Barcelona\u2019s wage staggeringly increased by 45.7% in 2023 – on account of their plethora of new signings during the past year.<\/span><\/p>\nOn the other hand, Real Madrid managed to reduce their wage bill by a massive 30.7% in 2023. Manchester United and Juventus also deserve mention as they managed to reduce their bills by 26.2% and 24.2%, respectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBesides Barcelona, Manchester City also witnessed a significant increase in their wage bill at 21.3%.<\/span><\/p>\nNote: Chelsea’s data not mentioned due to unavailability of 2023 wage data.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"French champions Paris Saint-Germain currently have the highest player wage bill in European football.
