How much every Leeds United player earns in wages every week and their yearly salary.

Leeds United are back in the Premier League and being at the highest level requires high spending.

Though the transfer window ultimately ended in disappointing fashion, Daniel Farke still had over £100m spent on his squad over the summer.

Leeds signed 10 players in total, significantly improving the height and physicality of the squad in the process to deal with the rigours of the top flight.

New signings were attracted to Elland Road with the promises of a healthy salary, while some players remain on hefty sums from the last time the Whites were in the Premier League.

Here is Leeds’ full wage bill for the 2025-26 season.
