How much does every Ipswich Town player earn annually and who receives the most into their account?
After finishing second in the Championship at the end of the 2023–24 season, Ipswich Town achieved a historic comeback to the Premier League after 22 long years.
At Portman Road Stadium, Kieran McKenna has restored hope, and the Ipswich Town supporters are once again ecstatic.
But as the Tractor Boys linger in the drop zone, that happiness might not last long. Due to the fact that Ipswich has the lowest yearly payroll in the Premier League, it is undeniable that they lack the financial resources of other teams in England.
However, they do have guys with a lot of potential. Despite having very little experience in the top division, players like Liam Delap, Omari Hutchinson, and Leif Davis have made an impression this season.
Which Portman Road employee makes the most money this season? Furthermore, who is at the other extreme of the spectrum? GOAL investigated the data from Capology and discovered! * Salaries are paid annually and are gross.
Arijanet Muric, a former Manchester City player and Kosovo international, is Ipswich Town’s best-paid goalkeeper and one of the team’s highest earners.
The lowest-paid goalie is Cieran Slicker, while Christian Walton, a 29-year-old Englishman, comes in second.
With a salary of more than £2 million, Axel Tuanzebe, a Manchester United academy product, is the highest paid defender at Ipswich Town.
The fact that Tuanzebe is higher on this list than Leif Davis or Dara O’Shea, however, won’t sit well with fans. The third-highest paid defender is Ben Johnson.
The lowest-paid defenders are those like Conor Townsend, Harry Clarke, Cameron Burgess, and Luke Woolfenden, who all make less than a million pounds.
Kalvin Phillips, who is currently on loan from Manchester City, is the club’s highest-paid midfield player and earns an incredible £7.8 million.
The second-highest paid midfielders are Jens Cajuste and Samy Morsy, the club captain. Jack Taylor and Massimo Luongo are the joint-lowest paid midfielders.
George Hirst is making more money than any other Ipswich Town forward, despite the fact that one might have expected Sammie Szmodics, Liam Delap, or club-record acquisition Omari Hutchinson to be the highest-paid attacker at the club.
In actuality, Hutchinson and Nathan Broadhead have the lowest salary among attacking players.
Delap is ranked fifth on this list, while Szmodics, Chiedozie Ogbene, and Jack Clarke are tied for second place as high-aid attackers.
Slicker, the backup goalie, earns £156,000. He is the lowest paid player at Ipswich.
Both Hutchinson and Broadhead are the second-lowest paid players, and many supporters will undoubtedly wonder why the latter should receive such a small pay considering his contributions this season.
Burgess and Woolfenden complete the list of the top five lowest-paid players.
But what does that mean for the overall picture? In which area of the pitch are Ipswich Town spending the most money, and how much do they spend annually on salaries for the first team?
The Tractor Boys are allocating the highest portion of their budget to the midfield position, spending £13m on the wages of their midfielders annually.
