Sunderland Players Salaries 2023 – A Detailed Insight
Sunderland, a well-known football club, has always sparked interest among fans regarding the salaries of its players. If you've ever wondered who Sunderland's highest-paid players are and how much they earn, this guide will provide you with the information you need.
Financial Overview
The average weekly wage in League One is just over £2k per week. Sunderland has been selling their players or slashing players' wages to maintain financial stability. While clubs don't typically release their wage bill information, various sources estimate that Sunderland's wage bill still tops £20 million a year (as of June 2018).
New Sunderland owner Stewart Donald revealed that their wage bill is likely to be the highest in League One. However, he emphasized the importance of spending wisely and not overspending to achieve success.
Player Salaries
"If we could sign say 16 players on League One wages, about £3k a week for a defender and £5k a week for a striker that’s around £4 million which is more than any other club will spend, that will put you high on the budget radar," Donald said.
While we expect Sunderland to cut these players' salaries, the current wages of Sunderland players in the 2023/24 season will be updated soon.
