Here’s a detailed look at FC Porto’s top 10 earners…
10
Alan Varela
€24,038 per week
Alan Varela signed a new deal with FC Porto in 2025, seeing his salary increase by €10,000 per week.
The Argentine midfielder has gone from strength to strength in Portugal and is now under contract until 2030.
9
Nehuen Perez
€24,038 per week
Centre-back Nehuen Perez made the move to FC Porto from Udinese in 2024.
The Argentina international was only on loan at the Estadio do Dragao, but he made a move permanent in 2025.
8
Diogo Costa
€27,692 per week
Academy graduate Diogo Costa made his senior debut for FC Porto in 2019 and hasn’t looked back.
The Portugal international has gone on to be first-choice for club and country in recent years and has even been linked with a big-money move away, so eventually, FC Porto could cash in on one of the best goalkeepers in the game today.
7
Samu Omorodion
€31,346 per week
It looked as if Samu Omorodion would be joining Chelsea from Atletico Madrid in 2024, but after a deal broke down, FC Porto came in and secured the forward’s services.
The youngster made an instant impact in Portugal, scoring 11 goals in his first 10 appearances in all competitions.
6
Alberto Costa
€36,923 per week
Portuguese full-back Alberto Costa returned to his native country in 2025 after a brief spell in Italy with Juventus.
The former Vitoria S.C right-back cost Porto €15m and signed a five-year contract.
5
Gabri Veiga
€38,462 per week
Gabri Veiga was handed the number 10 shirt after signing for Porto from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli in 2025.
Like Costa, Veiga also cost €15m and signed a deal until 2030 and can play as an attacking midfielder or out wide.
4
Pepe
€40,385 per week
Not to be mistaken with the iconic centre-back who also played for FC Porto, Brazilian winger Pepe is one of three players on €48,077 per week.
After joining from Gremio in 2021, Pepe is under contract until 2027.
3
Jan Bednarek
€40,385 per week
After eight years as a Southampton player, Jan Bednarek swapped St Mary’s for FC Porto in 2025 in a deal worth €7.5m.
The centre-back signed a four-year deal and is set to earn €10m in wages during that time.
2
Luuk de Jong
€40,385 per week
Experienced striker Luuk de Jong was announced as a shock signing during one of FC Porto’s pre-season fixtures at the Estadio do Dragao.
He didn’t cost Porto a penny, allowing them to give De Jong a €2.5m per year deal.
1
Jakub Kiwior
€66,731 per week
Top of the list as FC Porto’s hughest paid player for 2025/26 is defender Jakub Kiwior, who is on loan from Arsenal for the season.
The Poland international found game time hard to come by at the Emirates and there is thought to be an obligation for a deal to become permanent in 2026.
