Ipswich Town wages: Who is the best paid player at the Tractor Boys and everything you need to know about Ipswich’s salary bill.
How much does each Ipswich Town player make every year, and who gets the most money into their account?
Ipswich Town made a remarkable comeback to the Premier League after 22 long years, finishing second in the Championship at the end of the 2023-24 season.
Kieran McKenna has restored optimism at the Portman Road Stadium, with the Ipswich Town fans ecstatic once more. That delight, however, may be short-lived as the Tractor Boys remain in the drop zone.
There is no disputing that Ipswich lacks the financial strength of other English teams, since they have the Premier League’s lowest yearly payroll. What they do have, however, is guys with enormous promise. Despite their lack of top-flight experience, players such as Liam Delap, Omari Hutchinson, and Leif Davis have made an impression this season.
So, who had the most earnings at Portman Road this season? Who is at the opposite end of the spectrum?
