Sunderland wage bill: Black Cats’ top earners ranked
Weekly wages: Sunderland’s highest paid earners. Football FanCast takes a look at the biggest earners at the Stadium of Light for the 2023/24 season.
Sunderland have been on the up in recent years, finally winning promotion to the Championship from League One. There has been plenty of change in the dugout, with former managers Tony Mowbray and Michael Beale both departing, leaving owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus on the hunt for a new long-term boss.
On the pitch, the Black Cats have arguably been punching above their weight, considering they have one of the lowest-paid squads in the Championship. But who earns what? Football FanCast has taken a look at what Sunderland are paying their players, as per Capology.
Disclaimer – only the club and the players themselves truly know their wages, so take each of these figures as you will.
