Mario Götze: assets and salary at PSV Eindhoven

How much does Mario Götze earn?

With a Annual salary of 12 million euros Exclusive bonus payments and advertising deals made Mario Götze a bit jealous of long-established Bayern Munich stars like Bastian Schweinsteiger and Philipp Lahm. With this salary, the newcomer at the time was clearly one of the top earners in terms of salary at Bayern Munich. Only Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer were earning 15 million / year more at the time. But back at BVB, he also had to lower his top salary. The professional footballer at Borussia Dortmund earns “only” 10 million per season out of 12 million per season. In the summer of 2020, the time at BVB came to an end and it has already been officially adopted. For only 3 million / year he signed with the traditional Dutch club PSV Eindhoven until 2022. The contract was prematurely extended to 2025 in the summer of 2021.

Through advertising contracts with exclusive companies such as Nike, Mercedes or Samsung, millions more flow into the young German’s account. The estimated fortunes is according to our projections around 40 million euros.

Mario Götze’s career

Götze didn’t start his football career straight away in one of the numerous youth teams of a large club, but initially played for regional clubs until his family moved to Dortmund, where his father took up a professorship for data technology at the Technical University of Dortmund. In Dortmund he initially played on a regional level, but was then able to move into the Borussia Dortmund youth change, where he went through numerous youth teams.

At Borussia Dortmund they were so convinced of Götze after a short time that they integrated him into the professional squad, where at the young age of 17 he was the ninth-youngest football player who had made it into the Bundesliga to date. And Götze should not disappoint anyone responsible. In 83 games he scored 22 goals and impressed overall with an active and fast game.

The English also noticed this and so it is not surprising that the London club Arsenal FC € 40 million offered for the German – a transfer fee, which the Dortmunders refused. For Götze, however, this in no way meant foregoing a lucrative income, as he was with Borussia during his first contract (2009 – 2012) around one million euros per year earned and during his second contract, which contained a release clause favorable to Götze, 4.6 million per year.

FC Bayern Munich and top salary of 12 million / season

Götze should make use of the release clause before the 2013/14 season when he was appointed under President Uli Hoeneß FC Bayern Munich has changed. This cost the Munich club 37 million euros, but the purchase should be worthwhile for Bayern. After a short time it was used frequently and shone with a remarkable hit rate. He could also do this with a Salary of 12 million euros per year pay royally. Bonus payments and advertising income are excluded from this. But the former dream player of coach Pep Guardiola could never really convince him, which is why he usually only stayed on the bench. Carlo Ancelotti, who took over as coach at FCB in the 2016/17 season, made it clear to Götze that he would not have a chance of many appearances under him and suggested a change.

Return to Borussia Dortmund with wages dropping to 10 million per season

Before the 2016/17 season, coach Thomas Tuchel brought Mario Götze back to Borussia Dortmund. The transfer fee was around 22 million euros, so BVB made a few million for its own coffers just through the transfer and return transfer. The salary at Borussia Dortmund is also a little less for Götze. 10 million euros salary / season should be in the contract. The contract, which expired in 2020, was initially supposed to be extended by BVB, but due to the high level of competition, they wanted to lower the salary significantly, which is why there was no more agreement.

Change PSV Eindhoven with 3 million / season

In October 2020, Mario Götze moved to the traditional Dutch club PSV Eindhoven and should only earn around 3 million euros per season there.

National team

In November 2010 he was appointed to the German national team for the first time by national coach Joachim Löw, where he has since played regularly alongside Mesut Özil, Lukas Podolski and Co. In 2014 he was able to shoot the German national team to world champion in Brazil. With what was probably the most important goal of his career in the final against Argentina in the 113th minute, he made the sensation perfect. The DFB’s premiums are also impressive.

The young superstar signed an exclusive contract with the sporting goods manufacturer Nike in 2012 until 2022, which will bring Mario Götze an additional income totaling 15 million euros 1.5 million euros per year. This contract caused quite a stir at some appearances of the Bavarians as well as the German national team, as they only wear the competitor adidas.
