Add as preferred source on Google

Newcastle United are big spenders and not only on transfer fees but player wages as well.

It was a tough summer for Newcastle United, in which they learned just how difficult breaking into the true Premier League elite will be.

Newcastle were outmuscled by all of Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool for top targets, not to mention the latter stealing away Alexander Isak, even if they did pay £125m to do it.

PIF may have unlimited wealth at their disposal, but PSR restrictions mean Newcastle aren’t allowed to use all of it freely.

Even though they did offer Benjamin Sesko more money than Man Utd, Newcastle have struggled to compete on the wage front, with Liverpool more than doubling Isak’s salary.

However, Eddie Howe still got to spend £260m in the transfer window, more than any other window in Newcastle’s history, and the club are able to pay their players very handsomely.

Here’s what they reportedly earn.

The figures may not be completely accurate but do give a reasonable idea of who the Magpies’ best-paid players are.

New Newcastle United signings

There currently isn’t enough reliable data available to know what sort of wage summer signings Nick Woltemade, Yoane Wissa, Anthony Elanga, Jacob Ramsey and Malick Thiaw are earning at Newcastle.

However, it’s safe to assume that they will all be getting paid handsomely towards the upper end of the wage bill, given how much each player cost in transfer fees.

Newcastle players out on loan

Newcastle have several players out on loan this season and they will likely still be contributing a healthy percentage of their wages.

Here’s what the three first-teamers reportedly earn.

• Matt Targett – £100,000 – £5.2m a year – On loan at Middlesbrough
• Odysseas Vlachodimos – £26,000 a week – £1.35m a year – On loan at Sevilla – via SalarySport
• Joe White – £3,000 a week – £156,000 a year – On loan at Leyton Orient

How much Eddie Howe earns at Newcastle United

Howe has now been manager at St. James’ Park since taking over from the sacked Steve Bruce in November 2021.

He has already established himself as Newcastle’s most successful manager in decades after ending the long wait for a trophy by claiming triumph in the Carabao Cup final in 2025.

The club wants to keep him as a result and Howe signed a new contract in 2025, which earned him a pay rise.

The Sun reported earlier in 2025 that Howe’s £6m a year deal increased by 50% to £9m a year this summer after he secured Champions League football last term.

That makes him the third highest paid manager in the Premier League behind only Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola.
