The Rondo - Wages Club vs Club - 11AUG2025

Player salaries are always a hot topic, but which clubs are paying more than the others

Today, we're going to match the player to the wage and see if they're overpaid

underpaid, or properly valued. Let's get into it. All right, guys, we're going to get into it real quick. This is really interesting on how much per

week some of these players make. Honestly, with the taxes in England, they do make a lot less

but on paper, bro, if I was ever making £277 a week, bro, nobody could ever talk to me

by the way. But Arsenal versus Liverpool, who makes 277,000 euros a week

Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah, Martin Odegaard, or Bakayo Saka? Alright, here's my thoughts

Van Dijk and Salah are probably on like 400k. That's probably ridiculous

And Saka probably makes more too because he's like a homegrown Arsenal guy and he's

like their star boy, whatever. To me, the one that makes the most sense there is

Odegaard. And if it was to be Martin Odegaard, do you guys think that's

overpaid underpaid or properly valued i feel like for his caliber of player uh on the caliber of

of club the arsenal is you know if you're gonna consistently finish second i feel like 277k is

good if you were to win anything you'd probably have to bump it up a little bit more but for what

they are accomplishing now i feel like that's fair i think that's fair if it's odegaard because we

don't know which player it is gonna be but i would say that about martin odegaard is that he had a

great year two years ago last year i didn't think he had that much of an impact on our team as i

would have liked this year i think the jury's out bro either he plays well enough to get a new

contract or arsenal look at making an upgrade there what do you think amen yeah i think he's

fair i think it's fair all right and the verdict is martin odegaard who makes 277 000 euros a week

do you guys think that's overpaid underpaid or properly valued oh it's proper yeah probably

that's a good one for me honestly 277 000 a week for our captain can't complain yeah i'd probably

take 277k a week to myself being honest right bro you might be worth that in today's market

everybody going for 90 million yeah each of us could go for 30 35 all right guys manchester united

versus man city who makes 205 000 euros a week bruno fernandez matthews cuña shijani reinders

or phil foden okay foden star boy's probably on a billion pounds i'm dead uh you said bruno is the

First one, he's too much of a star. He probably makes more than that, too. I think Bruno makes more than 205 for sure, bro

Probably over 300. Yeah. So who's left? Cunha and Reinders? Cunha, Reinders, Foden

Just my guess? Cunha and Reinders. My guess is that it would be Cunha

I have no really reason to think that, but that's my guess. I don't know. I'd say between Cunha and Reinders, but I'd say Reinders

Because Doos City do be giving some good contracts. That's why Holland makes a lot, a lot

Not that he on the same level but they have a wage bill You know what crazy guys I think I gonna shift the narrative a little bit I think I gonna go Phil Foden I think Phil Foden makes 205k Oh so everybody got one Yeah So I think we all got one So Mateus Cunha on the list 205 euros a week is actually making the

least out of Bruno Fernandes, Johnny Reinders, and Phil Foden. How do you guys think about that

Yeah that's fair. Properly valued. He's not he's not better than all those guys. I don't think that

he's better than it's it's it's tough because he plays a different position. He's like a number 10

striker and from his stats at wolves last year he had an excellent season i think matthews kuny is

going to be a great player but he hasn't shown it at like a top club yet like you know like i feel

like rinders proved it at ac milan bruno fernand's bruno fernand yeah phil folden performed at city

so they make sense you need a year to really show that he him that's what i'm saying they'll give

him a new contract if he performs that well whenever his current ones up what do you think about matthews kuny yeah that's what i'm saying it's not gonna work because the thing is they give

one year to ship him out. It's the United tax. It's the United tax

It's how it be, though. It's how it be, though. All right, get off. Get off. He's going to go to United. Another one

Another one. Another one. That's what we keep doing every year. Every year. Yeah, yeah

They keep on doing it. Nah, this new signing is going to replace the last one that was going to replace the last

one that was going to replace the last one. It's a constant cycle, bro. They just want to immediately start

It's like, yo, come on. This is a trial. It don't work like that, bro. It don't work like that. Nah, bro

We know, we know Hojland is bun, so we got to replace him. And we know that who was there before Hojland, who was terrible

And we know Lukaku is bun, so we had to replace him. We knew that Lukaku, where Martial was bun, so we had to replace him

It's like, guys, he just, come on. Bro, they just keep doing that. I'm like, yo, bro, it don't work like that. We're going to move on to Barca versus Real Madrid

Who makes 240,000 euros a week? Dani Omo, Pedri, Fede Valverde, and Dean Hoisin

All right. Barca is broke, right? Yeah, I know my club is broke

Yeah. So, Hoisin's new signing, they probably gave him a good contract

Valverde's been there for a while, but he's solid. So, he's probably making good old money at Madrid

So, it's Daniomo and Pedri. Pedri? I might give this one to Pedri

He's worth it. I feel like Pedri for 240 makes sense. He's worth it. No, that doesn't make sense to me

He's the best midfielder in the world. For him, I would just want to make more. So, I'm going to say Daniomo, who's also a great player

But he's never registered. He wasn't even registered. He wasn't even registered. That's the problem with Barcelona, too

It's like you're buying all these players and you want them to play for your club, but they can't even play the games, bro

You can't even fill out the paperwork. Danny Omo's playing for Barcelona Esports FC

So we're going with, I'm going with Pedri. You're going with? I'm going with Danny Omo

And you're going with? This is the verdict. It's actually Danny Omo and Pedri both on 240,000 euros a week

Oh, my God. It's like you and your boy working your high school job making minimum wage together

580,000 combined on Pedri on Daniomo. Is that good business? Yeah, for sure

They're great players. Yeah. Yeah. Because if you think about those dudes in the prem, they're making like 350k

That's very good business. But then thinking about it like looking at it from Pedri standpoint Like you be worth more Like the ego would cook in yeah he not an ego guy yeah he really guy i just want to play footy and win yeah because

it's even for me what's shocking is like a lot of people think pedri's from like barcelona's academy like he's not he's not bro so for him to be that loyal to the club making bro i'm telling

you pedri could make 300k plus he's the most for sure he's the most 500 but he's he's the best

midfielder in the world he's one of the best midfielders in the world he's so barcelona academy

coded it's ridiculous that he did not come through that so i swear to god he's one of those players

where it's like yeah he put you would throw money on it that he played for barca academy the way he

the way barca coded he is but he didn't and the fact that he makes 240k a week i'm not gonna lie

that's kind of a steal for pedri bro yeah that's really good that's good business i would say

underpaid yeah underpaid for sure yeah underpaid ac milan versus inter milan who makes a hundred

thousand euros a week oh boy christian pilisic mike mangon denzel dumphries or nicolo barea

oh okay this is a hard one it's not it's not holistic this is how i know syrian do not be

paying bread this is some quality players in this four and they're making 100k a week it's not

and it's not done for you why this is what i think my yan is a great goalkeeper but do goalkeepers

make less that's our biggest question goalkeepers traditionally remind me how old bro is he one of

So, Aurelia is, what, 28 or 27? This is a hard one, bro, because 100K is not much

I'm about to give it to Mike. I'm going to go Mike Banyong. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too

Yeah, maybe goalkeepers make less. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They're probably not going to pay the leading guy

They're probably going to be locking it down. They're not little. Facts. I just can't believe that Serie A is paying guys like 100K a week on these clubs

I don't know how they survive, man. And the verdict is it's actually two players who make 100,000 euros a week

It's both Christian Pulisic and Denzel Dumfries. Pulisic is only making $100,000

He's, wow. No. Pulisic, come home. Come to MLS, bro. Come back

Come to FC Cincinnati. Nah, they're scamming my mans, bro. AC Milan's scamming my mans

He need to get an upgrade ASAP. I can show you how broke they are. They know you're just broke

Bro, Serie A clubs are broke, fam. Because you think about it. Pulisic was making $150,000 plus at Chelsea

Not everyone is watching Serie A, though. You got to be honest. Of course. Of course

Everybody's tuning in with the Prem or La Liga. Yeah. It is. That's actually really surprising

Bro. that he's making that that little denzel duffries and pulisic on 100 grand a week

yo that's crazy to me bro i'll be going into the office tomorrow now they're broke they just have

a club name that's it yeah that's crazy that is absolutely absurd do you so that's completely

under like undervalued i heard about that but i don't know if he's gonna fit because you know

laminiam all love taking guys on 1v1 there's no yeah overlap yo 100k a week that's obviously

undervalued for Pulisic and Dunbar. Oh, yeah, for sure. And if they were playing anywhere else, they'd be making significantly more money

I bet that there's an element from their perspective, like, we're at AC Milan. It's one of the biggest clubs in the world

It is And the endorsement money and the PR that you get from playing there versus like a I don know you pick out a decent Bundesliga club that probably the same level

Like if you're playing at Leverkusen or something, even if you're making 100K in wages every week

you're not making as much as you are at Milan in endorsements or marketing or PR outside things

So last but not least, Inter-Miami versus Saudi teams. Who makes 480 grand a week

Is it Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, Alexander Mitrovich, or Ivan Toney? I'm going with Ivan Toney on this

This one is tough because they are paying those Miami boys a lot of money

They're paying Suarez a lot. Saudi money, though. That is 10. Bro, that's a million every two weeks

And that's within the DP caliber of salary for MLS. I'm actually going to go Suarez just because I know that he makes a ton

Okay. Who are you going with? First of all, MLS. I'm going to start

Ivan Tony. Ivan Tony making bread, bro. He left England for a reason

I'm watching his Instagram. He living life. He's living life. He's like, yeah, I got a Jaguar and a Cheetah now

What are you going to do? And he's still banging goals. Banging goals, bro. People think, oh, why would you go to Sidi

You're still playing footy. Yeah. You're still doing what you love, getting bread

What's wrong with that? It's not at the best level, but you are still playing football. That's what I think about John Duran, man

And he provided his family and friends with generational wealth for like three generations of people

And he came back. And he came back. And he can come back. So we're going with Ivan Tony. You're going with Luis Suarez

Yeah, give me Suarez. So the verdict is in. Alexander Mitrovic actually is the player who makes 480,000 euros a week

And what makes it even worse on this list, Luis Suarez is by far the lowest paid player on this list

He makes 24 grand a week. I don't even understand how that's possible. I told you. What did I say

I said, did I not say this? Emma, come out of here. It just shows you, though

We talked about this last week with the MLS and how they have all these rules to make Messi happy, bro

Yeah. Luis Suarez is not taking 24 grand a week anywhere other than the reason of playing with Messi

Now, he's also completely washed. You saw the way he runs, bro

He looks like he's in pain when he moves. Yeah, but guess what? He is playing off touches

Is Aleksandr Mitrovic underpaid, overpaid, or valued for money? Bro, in Saudi, he might be valued for money

I don't really know. Because what? His record over there is pretty insane for Al-Hilam. He's one of the best strikers in the league, right

He always gets the most league goals. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, if you take the whole world in account, obviously it's to overpay

But for Saudi, money's not real over there. So for them, it's hard to even, let's say properly paid

Bro, Mitrovic, bro, Al-Hilal fans, they love him. They go like this every time

Metro, Metro, ah, yeah. They love him out there. I think, listen, for a Saudi club, it's proper value, I guess, because they have so much money

So 480 grand to them. And he's banging goals. And he's banging goals, so you can't say it

But Luis Suarez, 24 grand a week, man. That's undervalued. I don't care if Luis Suarez is in a wheelchair

Talk about Luis Suarez
