Over the past ten years, FLW has compiled a list of Leeds United’s highest-paid players.
The fact that Leeds is once again a Championship team has not changed the fact that many great players have passed through the Elland Road doors over the years.
Daniel Farke and Leeds, who have been among the busier teams in the division in the market, may have felt relieved that the transfer window has closed and that they must compete with what they now have until January. There will undoubtedly be several changes to the playing group if the team is relegated.
Among the most talented players to leave the team this season are Rodrigo, Tyler Adams, Robin Koch, Marc Roca, Max Wober, Jack Harrison, and Luis Sinisterra summer.
Ethan Ampadu, Joel Piroe, Glen Kamara, and Djed Spence were possibly the finest selections for the Whites out of the group. Leeds needed players to make up for those losses, and they recruited successfully during the window to bring in quality.
Illan Meslier, Pascal Struijk, Crysencio Summerville, and Willy Gnonto are also anticipated to be important contributors in a campaign that the team is hoping will be better than the previous two. Farke has won the second tier twice, therefore he should possess the necessary attributes to compete at the top of the division.
Although several of them are probably among the club’s greatest earners in the Championship, we’ll look at some of the best and highest-paid players below.
2023 – Patrick Bamford
Bamford has suffered from a loss of fitness and form, with the 30-year-old earning England call-ups off the back of 17 goal Premier League haul not long ago, but injuries have caught up to him; but his wage reflects what was a successful period a couple of years ago.
He earns around £70,000 per week, according to their estimates. He still has his part to play for Leeds in the second tier this season, but the persistent issues and concerns surrounding his confidence mean he can’t quite be higher on this list. Bamford scored 16 goals the last time Leeds played at this level and won the Championship, though.
2022 – Rodrigo
The club’s highest earner for the last decade has been the Spanish international forward, as he reportedly earnt £100,000 per week at Elland Road.
He was Leeds’ top scorer last season and finished with 15 goals and two assists from 35 games despite his side finishing 19th in the Premier League.
