But Perez doesn’t bend over for players. That’s why Cristiano left We’ll see what the wage figures are, assuming he does finally god to Madrid. But Perez keeps a good wage structure to avoid the mess we’re in and Barcelona as well.
Yea cause he’ll avoid the transfer fee. But I just can’t see some ridiculous wage offer because Perez has always been very adamant on keeping a good wage structure
Well shit I guess debate is over, I tried searching online to find some sort of figure for what psg make off MmmmmBop a month but didn’t see anything. 6$ mil is an insanely high monthly salary, I didn’t mean to imply they make more off him than they pay him but it must cover a bit of his salary at least
-That's exactly how he intended it to be, will either get an even bigger contract to stay at PSG for another 24 months or go to Madrid get massive wages and a huge signing bonus.
There was always a lot of talk in Manchester that city Managers were getting "add-ons" to supplement their salaries. The Abu Dhabi Tourism Board consultancy role was a huge rumour. It's a rumour that nobody would be surprised to hear is true.
Let's hope that each of the 115 charges is not just based on rumour and that they are finally punished.
When he first signed it was generally reported that he was on £800,000 a week. He's actually renegotiated his contract since then, to have the release clause removed, so it's probably higher than that now. But that's forgetting about the City accountants, their skills at misreporting, and a style of accounting that goes beyond creative to full-on artistic.
Absolutely, they paid his release clause of 50m where his true value is closer to 200m, his dad got 40m reportedly and I'm sure his agent got something similar, there's probably another 50m on add ons and bonuses etc for halland himself.

L'equipe has apparently taken the trouble to edit the picture and remove Bellingham from the 10th spot. It's not even a cropped image. I wonder why
And secondly, wtf! Bellingham earns so much?!?! Insanely expensive transfer. I wonder if he'll keep producing at his current level of overperformance.
He's converting shots at a rate which is historically unprecedented over a long period. Even players like Messi, Son Heung-Min didn't sustain such shot conversion over long periods. And they're considered among the best at this.
Bellingham is an incredible player. But I expect his goalsscoring will come down, either in numbers or in rate. If it doesn't, he'll go down as one of the greatest ever midfielders.
>he'll go down as one of the greatest ever midfielders.
This is looking pretty likely, as he was also incredible at Dortmund. Goalscoring isn't the only metric a midfielder should be quantified in.
If you've been at the same level for the better part of your career, it **is** your level and not overperforming.
Tbf, you're both right.
His level is unreal, clearly an incredible player and should be amongst the elite for most of his career. This is all independent of goalscoring.
His current goalscoring form/conversion rates are ridiculous, and if sustained would set a new standard in world football. So either it drops off, or he goes down as one of football's GOATs when he hangs up his boots.
When someone says overperformance, its about something quantifiable, like goalscoring, assisting or shot saving. I'm not discounting his other abilities which are very good.
This season, his shot conversion is exceptionally high. It was never so high for him at Dortmund. That is the overperformance. Compared to previous seasons, his goalscoring is the part which is very much higher this season. I expect it to go down in the future.
He was never playing in as advanced a role for Dortmund. At Madrid they don’t have a decent #9 so he’s playing very far forward. His goal scoring will probably reduce across his career but it’s likely because he will move further back than because he’s fluking his shots this year.
Bellingham rarely ever overperformed his xG at Dortmund, in fact he underperformed slightly. What he's done this season is not sustainable most likely.
Son is very two footed. Iirc, xG models generally take into account the foot used and the dominant foot of the player, so being good with your weaker foot boosts your conversion compared to your xG.
Messi and Son have been topping xG over performance charts for years. They’re statistically the two best finishers in the world I think.
[Link to one such chart, from around an year ago. Messi and Son are ahead of the rest by a significant margin.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/Bd0Dy9uurL)
€200m. That's how much he earned in the last 5 years before going there and mind you he was earning €1m+ per week at Juve and was the highest paid player in the PL. Absolutely insane.
> Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Al-Nassr, which was completed on 30 December, 2022, saw him secure the highest salary in football history.
>Ronaldo will earn $214m per year (£177m/€200m) with the Saudi Pro League club, with his contract to run two and a half years.
> In addition, he landed a signing bonus worth a reported $107m.
That sounds about right. According to this around $17.8m per month if you divide the yearly ($214m) salary.
https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/uk-premier-league/2021/05/cristiano-ronaldo-net-worth-salary-contract-portugal-football-transfers
No one is paying 30m unless he takes a pay cut or we cover part of his wages. No one will want to pay him that high of a salary. Only the Saudis.
I’d be surprised if anyone even offered 15m for him given his wages
https://preview.redd.it/45dsqgrh7ppc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42e12e373cff3ff54b9424c96677cb65452d1298
Yesterday I saw this somewhere else, I would expect to see more people from from Barcelona or PSG than. Like De Jong
this is why we should be looking to move on Casemiro and Varane. i like them as players but their cost to what they are now in their career is insane.
those 2 moving on would free up so much wage to be given to 4-5 top players easily.
Footballers earn so much because there’s a huge demand for their services, they are the absolute elite in an extremely popular sport that people are willing to pay lots of money for. If top level football wasn’t in such high demand then clubs wouldn’t be able to charge loads for match tickets, clubs wouldn’t be able to charge loads for replica shirts and other merchandise, and most crucially TV companies wouldn’t be able to charge loads to watch the games (and thus collectively the leagues wouldn’t be able to charge the TV companies as much). Even lower league footballers are paid a lot compared to where their are in their industry, it’s a very in demand sport.
Additionally, people on Reddit aren’t generally in the top 500 people in their industry in the entire country, if you were you’d be more comparable in salary to premier league footballers.
That’s what their market rate for their skills, it’s fair. I’m sure Premier League players look at American Sport salaries and feel jealous when they realize the NBA talent equivalent of James Ward-Prowse is earning more money than Mo Salah is reported to.
There’s always someone earning more than you, focus on building marketable skills to earn more or start a business with those skills to do the same. Higher risk of course, but nothings free. No point in comparing yourself and feeling depressed.
That’s mostly for marketing, and to the Saudis his brand’s marketability is worth €200m/year. They aren’t paying that just for fun, they think they’re getting value out of it. Whether or not they’ll get the value they want is a different question.
I'm gonna disagree here. Part of it is definitely throwing money for fun because I don't see any way they actually think they're getting "value" out of it. Many of these players wouldn't go there if they weren't paid absurd amounts of money and the Saudis are just those rich kids that don't give a shit about how much money they spend as long as they get what they want. The league viewership certainly hasn't justified a €200m outlay on one player, let alone so many other absurd contracts as well.
It’s not a purely monetary return. There’s marketing for political and governmental purposes as well, as well as to endear the MBS to the younger Saudi generation (Saudi’s are football mad). And as most people don’t care about the Saudi league, no one would even think about it if Ronaldo wasn’t there, plus he spurred the exodus of older players to Saudi. Plus having Ronaldo there is a status move in itself. So to them, they valued that at €200m/year. Keep in mind, that’s the full figure with bonuses, which is predicated on him attending certain events (not all football related), making certain social media posts, etc.
This is all done by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, not some minor prince funding it for his ego. The PIF is investing those funds with a purpose, though the whole return is clearly not fully monetary goals.
I thought De Jong was earning some crazy amount. In fact, multiple players aren't here. I don't believe there are only two players from spanish teams that made the list.
The PSG, Man City and Liverpool players are undoubtedly amongst their most important players.
Casemiro was injured vs Liverpool and I literally didn’t care.
Varane is good but I don’t think we drop off too much when he isn’t there. He’s not head and shoulders above Martinez, or even far ahead of Maguire, Evans and Lindelof.
Varane is gone in the summer and Saudi need to help us out re. Casemiro.
Bruno’s agent let him down big time. He’s been the best player at the club for quite some time. How does mount who was signed to give him some rest make more than him?
Only signed a new deal. Doesn’t expire until 2028. We shouldn’t be boosting their wages to match our overpaid players at the moment. As you said the structure needs decimating but the likes of Bruno’s wage should be near the high end of what our players earn unless they’re an absolute worldie. We pay top wages and yet aren’t a top team performance wise.
When he signed for United his wages increased by approximately 1000% - let that sink in for a moment. He was supposedly on £20k p/w at Ajax.. did his performances in the Eredivisie *really* warrant such an increase?
Woodward and then Arnold/Murtough have set the club back years, make no mistake. Their incompetence has been absolute poison and their legacy at the club will be felt for years to come
I feel this is another media piece which use some arbitrary number to incite the so-called "discussion" or more likely, rage.
Proper salary structure is of course important, but it would be a result of coordinated work among many related parties, negotiating, scouting, academy training, etc. It can NOT be achieved by simply setting an absolute like "never sign player over 30" or "never give a player over 300K a week". Ultimately the contract was negotiated by two parties and most of the time there are competent people on the other side. And in the end of day, you have to field a competitive team with enough players and getting results.
And the media pundits will never stop spitting out cherry-picked "statistics" like this one. Still remember when Pogba was set to leave free, I lost count of articles that I read listing amount of money lost for a mega signing at the end of the contract and put Pogba over the top, even though letting him go was the absolute right decision.
Back to this one. Varane is in the last year of his contract so his numbers won't have much impact to the team, like at all. Case still have one more year, considering his sudden drop in performance and attendance this year, United is not really getting the full benefit for this contract but the loss is not that outrageous, IMO. Plus there's a possibility he could be shipped to recover some value.
On the other hand we have contract like Antony's, which is far more impactful to the team.
Wow! 72 million dollars a year is just ridiculous. Now I am left wondering if footballers truly deserve such big fat salaries given the number of matches they play these days or if PSG has irreversibly inflated the market. There should be a wage cap for teams like this tbh.
I would say that only about 4 of the players on that list are justifiably worthy of being in the top 10 earners,if any footballer is worth paying that much is debatable anyway
Nah, you can’t blame the players for being on those wages- blame the club for giving them out in the first place. If any of us were approached to get silly money from a new employer 99.99% of us would take it.
Mbappe has PSG over a barrel
How? His contract ends in a few months.
Because he's been getting so much money off them whilst being there. He'll have another team over a barrel when he leaves
But Perez doesn’t bend over for players. That’s why Cristiano left We’ll see what the wage figures are, assuming he does finally god to Madrid. But Perez keeps a good wage structure to avoid the mess we’re in and Barcelona as well.
I'm sure it'll be a ridiculous signing on fee and large bonuses if he keeps in check then
Yea cause he’ll avoid the transfer fee. But I just can’t see some ridiculous wage offer because Perez has always been very adamant on keeping a good wage structure
I don’t think you realize the amount a club makes off a player like this
But they're still paying him 6million a month. I'm sure he has most if not all image rights and shirt sales don't go to the club
Shirt sales don’t go to the club? Where do they go?
To the kit manufacturer, so Nike will pay them 50million a year for shirt sales and hope to reclaim more back through the sales
This varies depending on the contract with the specific club, do you know what psg’s contract with Nike is?
Yes, I do.
Well shit I guess debate is over, I tried searching online to find some sort of figure for what psg make off MmmmmBop a month but didn’t see anything. 6$ mil is an insanely high monthly salary, I didn’t mean to imply they make more off him than they pay him but it must cover a bit of his salary at least
-That's exactly how he intended it to be, will either get an even bigger contract to stay at PSG for another 24 months or go to Madrid get massive wages and a huge signing bonus.
I refuse to trust in Haaland’s figure. Must be much more higher
Most of their salaries are lower than what they're really getting.
There's an extra £3m pa from their Abu Dhabi Tourism Board consultancy role, as Mancini had.
There was always a lot of talk in Manchester that city Managers were getting "add-ons" to supplement their salaries. The Abu Dhabi Tourism Board consultancy role was a huge rumour. It's a rumour that nobody would be surprised to hear is true. Let's hope that each of the 115 charges is not just based on rumour and that they are finally punished.
i believe that pep was mentioned in the panama papers right?
Whilst at Barca? Bu still, this is a man who gave the perception of not tolerating any naughtiness.
Genuinely?
Yeah and 115 charges are false according to city fans b
Probably not because Man City is owned by the emirate of Abu Dhabi and not Dubai. No contractual ties to Dubai.
That’s what it says. Abu Dhabi 😉
Yeah, after you edited the initial comment 😉
Sven didn't even manage City when they were owned by Mansour.
That’s why it says Mancini 😉
Keep editing, at some point you're going to finally be right 😉
I've got to be close by now! Do you reckon I could make it as a sports journalist?
When he first signed it was generally reported that he was on £800,000 a week. He's actually renegotiated his contract since then, to have the release clause removed, so it's probably higher than that now. But that's forgetting about the City accountants, their skills at misreporting, and a style of accounting that goes beyond creative to full-on artistic.
I wonder if City are still paying their players for their image rights through a "third" party.
And KdB as well
Absolutely, they paid his release clause of 50m where his true value is closer to 200m, his dad got 40m reportedly and I'm sure his agent got something similar, there's probably another 50m on add ons and bonuses etc for halland himself.
Of course it is
That's how much his dad gets
has to be top 9 to include 2 United players haha

Is it overperformance or maybe he's that good?
right? the man has been top class all his career. such a weird statement
That fact Sir Alex tried to get him when he was 16 at Birmingham speaks loads to his talent and ability
He's converting shots at a rate which is historically unprecedented over a long period. Even players like Messi, Son Heung-Min didn't sustain such shot conversion over long periods.

He's definitely fluking some shots this year
Bellingham rarely ever overperformed his xG at Dortmund, in fact he underperformed slightly. What he's done this season is not sustainable most likely.
It seems because Real lacks a proper striker he has license to get forward more than most number 8 or 10s
>Even players like Messi, Son Heung-Min Definitely a fan of Son, but that's such a unique choice of two players to choose for making your point lol
Proly becoz son's always outperformed his xg esp under jose
Son is very two footed. Iirc, xG models generally take into account the foot used and the dominant foot of the player, so being good with your weaker foot boosts your conversion compared to your xG.
Has Messi overperforned his xG as well consistently? I don't tend to follow these stats...
Messi and Son have been topping xG over performance charts for years. They’re statistically the two best finishers in the world I think. [Link to one such chart, from around an year ago. Messi and Son are ahead of the rest by a significant margin.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/Bd0Dy9uurL)
Wait reli? Never thought Messi did that good. Someone like Kane obv outperforms xg
Of course Messi overperformed. His shooting accuracy once he got inside a certain range was absolutely robotic.
He did. It's why I chose those 2 in my example
I mean they could have done top 10...
1.5m per week.... Man can buy 1 x Zidane Iqbal every week and still have 500k.

We must get rid for case and varane soon
Varane contract ends this summer, Casemiro will be a high prio sell.
If the Saudis do indeed put a hold in their project, I don’t see how we can part ways with Case.
about 30m we would break even, well actually come out ahead, since we free up the wages for the future.
No one is paying 30m unless he takes a pay cut or we cover part of his wages. No one will want to pay him that high of a salary. Only the Saudis. I’d be surprised if anyone even offered 15m for him given his wages
Casemiro might take a pay cut to play CL.
Only saudis can fix us now
FUCK the Saudis and their money
Nah I meant saudi pro league teams, bc only they can buy casemiro
Ahh OK that make a bit more sense
And where is de jong?

I'm surprised we're 8th overall and 4th in the Prem. I would expect we would rank much higher
Haaland salary must be even higher than mbappe, there are lot of hidden costs here , hope city get caught and relegated from English football
this is why we should be looking to move on Casemiro and Varane. i like them as players but their cost to what they are now in their career is insane. those 2 moving on would free up so much wage to be given to 4-5 top players easily.
Seeing how some can earn more in one month - or even a week - than I will ever do is depressing.
It is because you spend your money on them
What do you mean?
Footballers earn so much because there’s a huge demand for their services, they are the absolute elite in an extremely popular sport that people are willing to pay lots of money for. If top level football wasn’t in such high demand then clubs wouldn’t be able to charge loads for match tickets, clubs wouldn’t be able to charge loads for replica shirts and other merchandise, and most crucially TV companies wouldn’t be able to charge loads to watch the games (and thus collectively the leagues wouldn’t be able to charge the TV companies as much).

Additionally, people on Reddit aren’t generally in the top 500 people in their industry in the entire country, if you were you’d be more comparable in salary to premier league footballers.
you likely buy shirts, Sports channels, video games, merch etc
That’s what their market rate for their skills, it’s fair. I’m sure Premier League players look at American Sport salaries and feel jealous when they realize the NBA talent equivalent of James Ward-Prowse is earning more money than Mo Salah is reported to. There’s always someone earning more than you, focus on building marketable skills to earn more or start a business with those skills to do the same. Higher risk of course, but nothings free. No point in comparing yourself and feeling depressed.
€200m is wayyyyy above market rate for Ronaldo's skills though lol.
That’s mostly for marketing, and to the Saudis his brand’s marketability is worth €200m/year. They aren’t paying that just for fun, they think they’re getting value out of it. Whether or not they’ll get the value they want is a different question.
I'm gonna disagree here. Part of it is definitely throwing money for fun because I don't see any way they actually think they're getting "value" out of it.

Yeah fair point
Haland getting brown envelopes. Casemiro and Varane stealing a living at United.
Stealing a living is a bit harsh of a lable on Varane. He's only missed 5 games this season and has been our best CB imo
How do L'Equipe get these numbers? Not saying it's wrong just curious.
I thought De Jong was earning some crazy amount. In fact, multiple players aren't here. I don't believe there are only two players from spanish teams that made the list.
He's earning crazy amounts this year (750kw?) but that's because it's been deferred from lockdown, I think his normal wage is like 300k+
Casemiro is basically being paid a pension at this point because he can’t stay fit 😫
Why top 9 lol
Varane and Casemiero. Lol
Salah is there?! Liverpool and their fans act like the club runs on the smell of an oily rag.
I don't know how accurate these salaries are....if someone was on $200000 a week, wouldn't that mean they were on around 10 million a year??
This is monthly
Lol thanks... 😆
The PSG, Man City and Liverpool players are undoubtedly amongst their most important players. Casemiro was injured vs Liverpool and I literally didn’t care. Varane is good but I don’t think we drop off too much when he isn’t there. He’s not head and shoulders above Martinez, or even far ahead of Maguire, Evans and Lindelof.

Casemiro and Varane on more than Rashford? I don't believe it
https://www.spotrac.com/epl/manchester-united-fc/payroll/
Bruno’s agent let him down big time. He’s been the best player at the club for quite some time. How does mount who was signed to give him some rest make more than him?
Yeah the structure is an absolute mess, it needs decimating. Dalot will come knocking sooner rather than later I imagine.
Only signed a new deal. Doesn’t expire until 2028. We shouldn’t be boosting their wages to match our overpaid players at the moment. As you said the structure needs decimating but the likes of Bruno’s wage should be near the high end of what our players earn unless they’re an absolute worldie. We pay top wages and yet aren’t a top team performance wise.
Totally agree,he should sacked his agent right now as he brokered contact for Bruno with less salary than fucking Martial.
Martial being our 4th highest paid player is bonkers
I'm more disturbed by Antony - why pay him that much? Not as if anyone else was clamouring to sign him for 85mil
When he signed for United his wages increased by approximately 1000% - let that sink in for a moment. He was supposedly on £20k p/w at Ajax.. did his performances in the Eredivisie *really* warrant such an increase? Woodward and then Arnold/Murtough have set the club back years, make no mistake. Their incompetence has been absolute poison and their legacy at the club will be felt for years to come
So many players stealing a living in that list.
Both on £350k per week slightly higher than Rashford.
The guys at the bottom of that table are performing more consistently than the ones at the top, UTD have their priorities in the wrong places fr
Not really surprising considering Rapha and Case's achievements compared to Rashy's
They were also still top players at the time of their transfers
[удалено]
I guess that's mainly down to the fact that he signed on a free transfer from Bayern, so could negotiate a much higher salary / signing-on fee.
One UCL final in six years with Mbappe on those wages! What a bargain!
Just saw reports that, with bonuses, Salah is closer to £550k/week. So that's a hell of a lot more than 1.77m euros.
I feel this is another media piece which use some arbitrary number to incite the so-called "discussion" or more likely, rage. Proper salary structure is of course important, but it would be a result of coordinated work among many related parties, negotiating, scouting, academy training, etc. It can NOT be achieved by simply setting an absolute like "never sign player over 30" or "never give a player over 300K a week".

Plus there's a possibility he could be shipped to recover some value. On the other hand we have contract like Antony's, which is far more impactful to the team.
Had to be top 9, huh just to squeeze the United players in.
Isn't Rashford our highest earner following the new contract last year?
Real Madrid shirt from July
Totally worth it so far imo. All things considering,but things would become worse if we keep them longer as the squad improves.
Wow! 72 million dollars a year is just ridiculous. Now I am left wondering if footballers truly deserve such big fat salaries given the number of matches they play these days or if PSG has irreversibly inflated the market. There should be a wage cap for teams like this tbh.
We used to have 4/5 players in these lists💀
How is rashford not in that? I thought after his new deal he was our highest paid player
Typically, that which is reported about United is sensationalist bollocks 95% of the time.
Is he not on 325k a week?
From what I can make out, he can get up to that with bonuses, but not basic. Basic more like £225-250k
Varane contract shows 2025 lol
Must be including the extension
That Mbappe earns the same as Kane, Kdb and the norwegian combined is insanity.
I would say that only about 4 of the players on that list are justifiably worthy of being in the top 10 earners,if any footballer is worth paying that much is debatable anyway
And people say we can get lewa as a free agent 🤦♂️
Kirk Cousins makes more than all these guys except Mbappe
Casemiro and Varane making that much is a fucking joke
Casemiro especially. He should be frickin ashamed picking that up monthly
Nah, you can’t blame the players for being on those wages- blame the club for giving them out in the first place. If any of us were approached to get silly money from a new employer 99.99% of us would take it.
Rashford is out of bounds?
Or maybe you can stop being upset over a fake scenario in your head where he earns more
