Anel Ahmedhodzic Salary in 2024/25: Quick Overview
Anel Ahmedhodzic has been a mainstay in Sheffield United’s backline since he joined in July 2022. Since then, he has made over 100 appearances for the Blades, 30 of which came in the Premier League.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina international had been linked with Premier League moves away from Bramall Lane after Sheffield United’s relegation in 2023/24, and still continues to be linked with moves away now that Sheffield United have failed to secure promotion back up to the top-flight last season.
The 26-year-old spent his youth years in both the Malmö FF and Nottingham Forest youth academies, before moving back to his birthplace in Sweden, where he featured over 80 times for his boyhood club Malmö. Loan stints at both Danish club Hobro IK and French side Bordeaux followed, before moving back to England in 2022. Since then, the 26-year-old has racked up over 70 Championship appearances and over 30 Premier League appearances.
Although his side failed to secure promotion last season, Ahmedhodzic was a key player in the defence, playing 42 times in all competitions and scoring three goals. With just a year remaining on his contract, the question remains whether or not the centre-back will sign an extension or ultimately move away from Sheffield.

Rising through the ranks, Ahmedhodzic earned himself his big-money move to England in 2022.

Whilst in France, he almost increased his wage by five times what he was earning at Forest, picking up £168,783, or £3,246 per week.
His big money move to England came in 2022, moving to Championship outfit Sheffield United, where, again, he increased his weekly wage massively, first picking up £1,3000,000 per year, which equates to £25,000 a week.
After a successful first season in England, Ahedmodhodzic signed a new contract after helping the Blades get to the Premier League, earning an extra £5,000 per week, increasing his wage to £30,000 per week or £1,560,000 per year.

Ahmedhodzic’s earnings put him in the top five earners at Sheffield United. Surprisingly, his salary isn’t even in the top eight of centre-backs in the division.
Whilst at the club, he’s one of the top earners, which is fair, it’s astonishing to see him so low down the pecking order in terms of the whole Championship. Compared to other centre-backs, who play in the second division, the 28-year-old is definitely underpaid. On the other hand, three of the centre-backs now play for Premier League side Leeds United, and two of them were on loan from the top flight.
