Here's a detailed look at Newcastle's top 10 earners: 10 Anthony Elanga £100,000 a week
The first 2025 marquee summer signing at St James’ Park was Anthony Elanga, with the winger arriving from Nottingham Forest in a deal worth £55m.
The pacey forward starred at the City Ground which caught the eye of Eddie Howe and co, with Elanga signing a long-term deal.
9 Jacob Ramsey £120,000 a week
Also joining from a Premier League rival in 2025 was midfielder Jacob Ramsey, who cost Newcastle an initial £39m from Aston Villa.
The versatile midfielder is in line to pick up £6.24m per season at St James’ Park, the same figure as three other Magpies stars.
8 Kieran Trippier £120,000 a week
Kieran Trippier was the first signing of the Howe era, and it’s safe to say that it’s been a success on the whole. The former Tottenham full-back immediately settled into the team and became one of the group’s core leaders seemingly overnight.
In his first season at the club, he helped to guide them to safety before guiding them to European football the season after. Trippier’s deal expires in 2026.
7 Aaron Ramsdale £120,000 per week
Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale joined Newcastle on a season-long loan from Southampton in 2025 after the Saints were relegated from the Premier League.
Brought in to rival Nick Pope, Ramsdale earns more than his fellow countryman, and there is the option for the Magpies to make a move permanent in 2026.
6 Sandro Tonali £120,000 a week
Sandro Tonali returned to the Newcastle squad after serving a lengthy ban for breaching betting rules, with the Italian since becoming a mainstay in Howe’s side.
The midfielder joined the Magpies in 2023 from AC Milan in a big-money deal, and those at St. James’ Park will be hoping he can continue to star in the famous black and white stripes.
5 Nick Woltemade £132,500 a week
Newcastle’s all-time record signing, Nick Woltemade arrived at St James’ Park shortly before Isak departed for Liverpool.
In a deal worth up to £69m, the German eclipsed Isak as Newcastle’s most expensive addition, and Woltemade made himself an instant hero by scoring the winner on his Premier League debut.
4 Yoane Wissa £140,000 a week
Yoane Wissa was signed with minutes to spare in the summer on deadline day, hours after Isak’s move to Liverpool was announced.
In similar fashion to Isak, Wissa went on strike at Brentford to force through a move to Newcastle, and he’ll earn £7.28m per season at St James’ Park.
3 Joelinton £150,000 a week
Joelinton, who initially arrived as a forward from Hoffenheim for a then club record £40m fee, has been transformed into a midfield powerhouse at St James’ Park.
The Brazilian is now one of Newcastle’s biggest earners after signing improved terms in 2024. He’s under contract until 2028.
2 Anthony Gordon £150,000 a week
Boyhood Everton fan Anthony Gordon moved to St James Park from the Toffees in January 2023 with a hefty price tag of £45m. Moving to a new club with such a price tag can be challenging enough for many players, but the controversy surrounding his move only brought more scrutiny as he handed in a transfer request to get out of Goodison.
After a rather lacklustre start to his career on Tyneside, Gordon dazzled in his first full season and has rarely looked back. The winger was rewarded with a new contract in October 2024 that is thought to have more than doubled his wages, with Gordon now one of Newcastle’s highest earners.
1 Bruno Guimaraes £160,000 a week
Top of the charts as Newcastle’s biggest earner is Bruno Guimaraes, although compared to other Premier League clubs, £160,000 per week isn’t a huge amount.
Guimaraes was awarded a five-year deal back in October 2023 after his move from Lyon, and he has proven to be worth every penny of the £40m fee.
