The highest-earning players in the THY Euroleague, where Europe’s strongest clubs compete in basketball, have been announced before the 2023-24 season, which starts tomorrow. The list prepared by Eurohoops included 14 basketball players with annual net earnings of $2 million or more, excluding taxes. American point guard Shane Larkin, who plays for Anadolu Efes, became the highest-earning basketball player in Europe with his annual earnings of 4 million Euros.
THOMPSON OF EPHESUS RANKS 5TH ON THE LIST WITH 2.3 MILLION DOLLARS
Kostas Sloukas, the flash transfer of Ergin Ataman’s new team Panathinaikos, ranked second on the list with his earnings of 2.8 million dollars, while Kevin Punter from Partizan ranked third with 2.6 million dollars and Nikola Mirotic from Olimpia Milano ranked fourth with 2.5 million dollars. In the fifth place is another Anadolu Efes player, Darius Thompson. The annual net salary of the American basketball player is 2.3 million dollars.
TAXES FOR BASKETBALL PLAYERS IN SPAIN REACH UP TO 52 PERCENT
Since taxation is different in European countries, the costs of players to clubs vary in the same direction. For example, the one-year cost of Willy Hernangomez to Barcelona, who receives a net salary of 2.2 million dollars, is approaching 4.5 million dollars due to the tax rates in Spain reaching 52 percent. For this reason, no player from Real Madrid could reach the 2 million dollar threshold.
REAL MADRID’S MOST EARNING NAME IS WALTER TAVARES WITH 1.9 MILLION DOLLARS
The highest-paid player in Real Madrid is Walter Tavares, with 1 million 900 thousand dollars. Another Anadolu Efes player who made it to the list after Shane Larkin and Darius Thompson was Will Clyburn, who received $2 million. Fenerbahçe Beko, which has been reducing the budget significantly for two years, could not be among the 14 highest-earning basketball players in Europe because no player received a net salary of 2 million dollars.
