Looking into the financial situation of Olympiacos and Panathinaikos Aktor, Eurohoops lays out the 2024-25 contracts for every player on the roster of the Reds and the Greens.
The Greek powerhouses carry the largest budgets among teams in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. After taxes, NET money amounts to the two most expensive teams in Europe’s premier club continental competition. Combined with coaches’ salaries, the totals reach 20 million euros.
Since you get what you pay for, quality options for head coaches Giorgos Bartzokas and Ergin Ataman inside a deep squad strengthen the respective bids to contend for the EuroLeague championship.
Serving as an accountant, Eurohoops presents the player contracts between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos for the 2024-25 season.
Which team has the largest budget and which players are the top earners?
In a peculiar case, Luca Vildoza is paid by both sides. Besides the new contract with Olympiacos, his deal to part ways with Panathinaikos included more money.
Highest salaries of the eternal rivals
Sasha Vezenkov is the clear top earner between the Greek clubs after reuniting with the Reds during the offseason. Fellow summer signing Evan Fournier and his French compatriot Moustapha Fall follow second through third.
As for Panathinaikos, the first place belongs to Kostas Sloukas, based on a huge contract signed last year. Kendrick Nunn is a close second. Juancho Hernangomez sits third.
