EuroLeague top 10 salaries: Vasilije Micic leads with €5.6 million
Vasilije Micic remains the highest-paid player as Panathinaikos places four players among the EuroLeague top 10.
The EuroLeague season is about to begin with Olympiacos defending the crown, and the other 19 clubs aiming to unseat them. Ahead of the new campaign, a salary table listing the ten highest-paid players in the competition was published, showing only modest change from last season.
Panathinaikos stands out: the Greek club has four players among the ten top earners after summer roster moves under coach Željko Obradović. Many of the names are familiar, though a few newcomers appeared on the list.
Who tops the payroll?
At the summit remains Vasilije Micic, collecting €5.6 million per season at Hapoel Tel Aviv. He is followed by Nigel Hayes-Davis of Panathinaikos on €5 million and Kendrick Nunn, also of Panathinaikos, on €4.5 million.
The full ranking of the ten highest-paid EuroLeague players is:
- Vasilije Micic (Hapoel Tel Aviv) – €5.6 million
- Nigel Hayes-Davis (Panathinaikos) – €5 million
- Kendrick Nunn (Panathinaikos) – €4.5 million
- Gershon Yabusele (Panathinaikos) – €4 million
- Sasha Vezenkov (Olympiacos) – €3.7 million
- Elijah Bryant (Hapoel Tel Aviv) – between €3 and €4.3 million
- Sylvain Francisco (Panathinaikos) – €3 million
- Mfiondu Kabengele (Dubai) – €3 million
- Edy Tavares (Real Madrid) – €3 million
- Mike James (Efes) – €2.9 million
The list confirms that salary concentration remains high among a handful of clubs and players. With the opening games approaching, teams will test whether payrolls translate into on-court advantage this season.
