Professional footballers who have made it to the Bundesliga mostly earn millions per year. But just how princely are the individual HSV stars paid over a season? And where do the summer signings rank in the salary table? We’ve put together an overview.
It’s easy to guess who the top earner is at the Rothosen. According to the platform Capology, which is considered one of the leading and most comprehensive databases for footballers’ salaries, there is a clear winner in HSV’s salary ranking: star signing Fábio Vieira earns by far the most. If you add the guaranteed base salary to the estimated bonuses, the total comes to a proud annual sum of more than €4.7 million. His fixed salary is said to be €3.7 million — a remarkable amount for HSV.
After that, there is quite a big gap. At an estimated annual salary of around €3.5 million, several HSV players follow, all of whom only joined Hamburg in the summer: striker Patson Daka, defensive leader Sebastiaan Bornauw, and wide player Zakaria El Ouahdi. Sebastiaan Bornauw in particular has so far failed to live up to expectations in the still-young season. Interestingly, newcomers Terem Moffi (around €3 million) and David Moller Wolfe (€2.3 million) do not make the top five.
Yussuf Poulsen is the only one who has been at the club for longer than a few weeks and still ranks fifth (€3.3 million). Other stars who are believed to earn more than €2 million gross per year for their services, according to Capology, are Nicolás Capaldo, Jordan Torunarigha, and Miro Muheim.

IMAGO
Albert Sambi Lokonga is just shy of the mark at €1.8 million, followed by Warmed Omari and Nicolai Remberg at around €1.6 million. At the very bottom are — unsurprisingly — players from HSV’s youth setup, though they are already included in the ranking as well. Louis Lemke, Joel Agyekum, and Elias Lahti each earn around €188,000 per year. Otto Stange already receives around €710,000 for his efforts.
