A star who makes more money than Maja & Bartley could soon need to be let go by West Brom.
The esteemed Carlos Corberan hopes to lead West Bromwich Albion to another finish in the top half of the Championship table, and supporters of the Baggies are bracing themselves for another promotion-chasing campaign at the Hawthorns.
The West Midlands team secured a postseason berth the previous season, but lost to eventual champions Southampton in the semi-finals. This year, they want to exact revenge and, after a protracted and exhausting campaign, make it back to the Premier League.
The two Championship losses under their belt already indicate some chinks in the Baggies’ armor, so it will be a difficult ask, but the driven Spaniard on the sidelines knows he can count on players like Josh Maja and Kyle Bartley to support his team’s continued fight for promotion.
The value of Bartley and Maja to West Brom
Many of the West Brom veteran players left the squad this summer in search of better opportunities, but Kyle Bartley remained loyal to his Championship employers and is still one of the first names on his manager’s team roster for good cause.

The value of Bartley and Maja to West Brom
Many of the West Brom veteran players left the squad this summer in search of better opportunities, but Kyle Bartley remained loyal to his Championship employers and is still one of the first names on his manager’s team roster for good cause.
The resolute 33-year-old continues to excel even when West Brom isn’t at the races; on Wednesday, he won an amazing eight duels away at Sheffield Wednesday, despite his team’s unexpected 3-2 loss.
Josh Maja’s job is to be the attacking spark that seals victories by hitting the back of the net, while Bartley attempts to make Corberan’s team as solid as possible defensively.
For the West Midlands team this season, he has been everything that he has promised to be. He began the campaign against Queens Park Rangers with a hat-trick, then picked up seven goals from seven games before shooting some shocking blanks against Middlesbrough.
Both players are vital to Corberan’s team as they want to improve on previous season and go to the Premier League, but they discover that their pay is actually lower than that of one Baggies player who has been inconsistent in the lineup.
The pay of Diangana at West Brom
West Brom winger Grady Diangana makes a substantial £20.3k per week for the 2024–25 season, according to Capology, making him more wealthy than both Bartley and Maja.
Despite being selected by their manager every week, the center-back and the striker only get £15k and £17k each week, respectively, in comparison to Diangana’s larger salary.
