Gibbs-White Leads the Wage Structure
At the top of the list is Morgan Gibbs-White, who earns a reported £5.72 million per year, equivalent to approximately £110,000 per week. His position at the top demonstrates his importance within the squad and makes him the highest-paid player in the supplied Nottingham Forest salary list.
Close behind him is Nikola Milenkovic, whose annual salary of £5.46 million works out at approximately £105,000 per week. The Serbian defender is followed by Murillo and Callum Hudson-Odoi, who are both listed at £4.68 million annually, or around £90,000 per week.
The next tier includes Dan Ndoye and Ibrahim Sangare, both earning £4.42 million per year, equivalent to approximately £85,000 every week. These figures underline the considerable financial commitment Forest have made to important members of their squad.
A Strong Middle Tier
Further down the list, the wage structure remains substantial. Dilane Bakwa is listed at £3.64 million annually, while Neco Williams earns £3.38 million. Ola Aina follows at £3.12 million, with an approximate weekly salary of £60,000.
Omari Hutchinson is listed at £2.86 million per year, while Igor Jesus, Matz Sels and Ryan Yates are each on £2.6 million annually. This group demonstrates that Forest have several players earning significant salaries beyond their top two or three earners.
The list then moves towards players earning between £35,000 and £50,000 per week, including Nicolo Savona, James McAtee, John Victor, Jair Cunha, Nicolás Dominguez, Cuiabano, Luca Netz and Morato.
Younger Players on Lower Contracts
At the lower end of the table, the wage figures become much smaller. Arnaud Kalimuendo is listed at £1.56 million annually, while Jota Silva earns £1.3 million.
Meanwhile, younger squad members such as Zach Abbott, Tyler Bindon and Eric da Silva Moreira are listed on £650,000, £520,000 and £416,000 respectively per year. Their salaries translate to approximately £12,500, £10,000 and £8,000 per week.
Overall, the figures reveal a wage structure that ranges from six-figure weekly earnings at the top to significantly more modest salaries among younger players. Morgan Gibbs-White sits at the summit, while the substantial salaries of Milenkovic, Murillo, Hudson-Odoi, Ndoye and Sangare show the level of investment required to assemble and maintain Nottingham Forest’s squad.
The supplied list therefore gives a useful snapshot of Forest’s salary hierarchy, showing exactly how dramatically wages can vary between established first-team stars and emerging players.
