Picture quotation for Leipzig salary: Werner s maximum salary is 10 million euros, and the maximum salary is 5 million euros

German media Biography Bild reported that Leipzig Sports Director Schefel has significantly reduced the total salary in the team, but there are still players like Werner who are difficult to sell to occupy the high-paying share of the salary list. The report first stated that the results were lower than expected, but the expenses were huge - this is a portrayal of Leipzig's lineup last season. In order to return to the Champions League, sports director Schefel launched a large-scale reform while adopting extreme severance policies.

And the result is satisfactory: he successfully reduced the team's total salary by a full 39 million euros, but due to the existence of a large number of long-term contracts, he still failed to completely restructure the salary structure 100%.

First of all, Werner, the highest-paid team (annual salary of about 10 million euros), has been able to sit in the stands this season. And he is not the only player in Leipzig's team: other unsold players, Klosterman (basically earning 5 million euros) or Hedara (5 million euros), their generous contracts were signed before Schefel took office, and their income would be higher if they included the bonus.

Although these players are currently ineffective at the competitive level, Biography points out that their income is even higher than other core players such as Baumgartner (4 million euros). However: the era of high basic wages is now over, and Leipzig's new creed is "Whoever performs will be rewarded!"

Sports director Schefell could not truly write this principle into the contract until this summer window, and the result is: Leipzig's new players are at a low level in the salary ranking.

Especially top geniuses like Jan Diormand (18/a year of age/a year of salary of about 2 million euros) or Maximovich (18/a year of age/a year of age) who have relatively low basic salary, but with the success of the team, they have the potential to earn nearly double the income through bonuses – especially when the team successfully qualifies for the Champions League.

In the team's salary ranking, these young players are likely to gradually increase in the next few years: on the one hand, because the contracts of those high-paying players are not planned to be renewed, and on the other hand, because the future basic salary can only reach up to 5 million euros.

In addition, the basic annual salary of the new coach Werner is also lower: similar to the new player contract, it is about 2.5 million euros. With the bonus, this number can rise to €3 million. The club's salary list still retains the name of former coach Roze: he can earn about 5 million euros a year at present, which is twice as high as his successor.
