Who’s the highest-paid player at Allianz Arena this season? Boardroom gives the details of the Bayern Munich contracts currently on the books.
Bayern Munich, one of the most famous and flourishing football clubs in the world, has always been acknowledged for its star-studded squads and high-value contracts. The 2022-23 season is no exception, as the German giants have continued to invest in their team to preserve their dominance in the Bundesliga and European competition.
Bayern’s illustrious history demonstrates long-term contract offers to star players, permitting them a chance at the longevity required to achieve legendary status at the club. The German super club’s transfer record was notably broken in 2007 when they signed Franck Ribéry from Marseille for “just” $32.68 million; the Frenchman would later become a club legend. Today, Matthijs de Ligt and Lucas Hernandez have shattered that record, signing for $72.99 million and $87.15 million, respectively.
A steady increase in appetite for paying big-time transfer fees has handed certain players more bargaining power than ever when negotiating their contracts. Consequently, newer star players like Sadio Mane have solicited shorter deals in order to beat expectations and turn right around to leverage more serious windfalls more often.
All told, the Bavarians’ willingness to invest heavily in their team has helped it become one of the most successful clubs in the world, both domestically and in the UEFA Champions League — with that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the full omnibus of Bayern Munich salaries on the books at Allianz Arena for 2022-23.
