Early Life and Career
John Yeboah Zamora was born on June 23, 2000, in Hamburg, Germany, to a Ghanaian father and an Ecuadorian mother, a heritage that later gave him three possible national teams to choose from.
He grew up playing for two local Hamburg clubs, SV Rönneburg and FC Türkiye Wilhelmsburg, before VfL Wolfsburg picked him up for its academy in 2015.
Wolfsburg’s youth setup became the foundation of his early development. He worked his way through Germany’s age-group national teams, debuting for the under-16 side in a 1–1 friendly draw away to France in May 2016.
The following year, he represented Germany at the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Croatia, scoring against Serbia as the team reached the semi-finals before losing to Spain on penalties.
That same year, he played at the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India, scoring against Colombia in the round of 16. He continued through Germany’s U18, U19, and U20 setups over the following two seasons.
In February 2018, Yeboah signed his first professional contract with Wolfsburg, a three-year deal that ran through June 2021.
That contract marked the formal start of his career as a paid footballer, even though his route to regular first-team football would take several more years and a handful of loan spells across three different countries before he settled into the senior role he plays today.
Professional Career
Yeboah made his Bundesliga debut for Wolfsburg on November 3, 2018, coming on as an 81st-minute substitute in a 0–1 home loss to Borussia Dortmund.
First-team chances stayed limited, so the club sent him on loan to Eredivisie side VVV-Venlo for the 2019–20 season, where he made 18 appearances and scored once.
Wolfsburg sold him to Willem II in 2020. Loan spells followed at Almere City (2020–21, 17 appearances, 4 goals) and at 3. Liga club MSV Duisburg (2021–22).
His career picked up real momentum after he joined Polish side Śląsk Wrocław in June 2022: he scored 10 league goals in the 2022–23 Ekstraklasa season and won the league’s Player of the Month award for February 2023.
That form earned him a move to defending champions Raków Częstochowa in July 2023 for a reported €1.5 million, where he played in the UEFA Europa League group stage and started in a Polish Super Cup final defeat on penalties.
In August 2024, Italian club Venezia signed Yeboah on a four-year deal for a fee of more than €2.5 million.
He became a regular contributor in attack, and helped Venezia win the 2025–26 Serie B title, securing an immediate return to Serie A after the club had been relegated the previous season, a promotion run that Goal’s coverage of the Serie B promotion race tracked closely throughout the spring.
On the international stage, Yeboah received his first Ecuador call-up in October 2023 for World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Colombia.
He scored his first senior goals in 2024 friendlies against Guatemala and Bolivia, then played at the 2024 Copa América, where he assisted Kevin Rodríguez’s stoppage-time equalizer in a quarter-final against Argentina and converted a penalty in the resulting shootout loss.
Ecuador named him in its 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, and he started the team’s Group E opener, a 1–0 loss to Ivory Coast on June 14, 2026, a match detailed on Ecuador’s official tournament page at FIFA.com.
John Yeboah’s Net Worth Details
As of 2026, John Yeboah’s net worth is estimated at around $1.5 million.
This figure is not an official disclosure from Yeboah, Venezia, or any financial body — players’ personal finances are rarely made public — but a reasonable editorial estimate based on his confirmed wages since turning professional in 2018, the transfer fees paid for his services, and his new commercial representation through Roc Nation Sports.
Contract
Yeboah is under contract with Venezia through June 30, 2028, the result of a four-year deal signed when he joined the club in August 2024 for a reported fee of more than €2.5 million.
According to Transfermarkt’s player profile, his market value has climbed as high as €5.5 million following his World Cup appearance, well above the figure attached to him when he first arrived in Venice.
No contract extension has been reported, which is expected given that more than two years remain on his existing deal.
Salary
Wage-tracking data that Capology supplies to FBref puts Yeboah’s current weekly salary at around €21,346, or roughly €1.1 million a year, expiring alongside his contract in June 2028.
That marks a significant jump from his Willem II days, when his annual salary was reported at around €220,000.
There is no public data ranking Yeboah among Serie A’s highest earners, and given Venezia’s modest wage structure relative to Italy’s bigger clubs, he is unlikely to be near the top of that list once the 2026–27 Serie A season begins.
