Salary by season
Reported Press estimate Model
Base salary only: bonuses, prize money and personal sponsors come on top.
Press estimate, single source. €750k is what Universo Sportivo put his current salary at (2026-05); we use it as the figure rather than our own estimate, because a journalist with a source is closer to the truth than a model. It is one outlet and it is not an official figure. Published as 500000-1000000; we take the midpoint. Our own model, without this figure, would say €571k. source
