MANCHESTER CITY will earn the most money from their players' World Cup performances than any other Premier League club.
Fifa has a payment scheme called the Club Benefits Programme, which pays clubs £8,100 for every day one of their players is in the tournament.It also takes into account the week-long preparation period before the games began in Qatar.
Man City sent 17 players to the World Cup and will be compensated with £4.5 million.
Julian Alvarez, an Argentine forward, is responsible for the majority of that, having reached the final, where each club receives around £297,000 for each player involved.
The prize money decreases as a player progresses through the competition, roughly working out to £257,000 for the semi-finals, £225,000 for the quarter-finals, £177,000 for the last-16, and £144,000 for the group stage.
The payments are made regardless of whether or not the players appeared for their country in the tournament.So the £297,000 Alvarez is set to earn City would have remained even if Argentina had reached the final without him playing a single minute.
As it turned out, he has four goals and is still in contention for the Golden Boot, trailing Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe going into the France game.
Kyle Walker, John Stones, Ederson, Phil Foden, Kevin de Bruyne, Jack Grealish, and Bernardo Silva are among the other City players competing in the tournament.Rival Premier League clubs will also profit handsomely from their World Cup players.
Prior to France's victory over Morocco, The Times reported that Manchester United will earn £2.92 million from the tournament's 13 players.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are set to earn £2.47m from their 12 participants.
Hugo Lloris, France's captain, is one of 11 Tottenham players who have been in Qatar, with Spurs set to earn £2.33 million.
Arsenal, their North London rivals, will resume their title challenge with a £2.11m reward for the 10 players who participated in the World Cup.Liverpool, the final club from the recognized "top six," will earn £1.55 million from their seven players who went to the Middle East.
Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, and Southampton will be the Premier League clubs with the lowest earnings as a result of this benefits program.
Those three teams will each receive £291,000 for sending only two players to the World Cup, with none progressing beyond the group stage.
