How much England players could earn if they win Euro 2024
Apart from the fulfilment that comes with winning a trophy in national colours, England players are reportedly in line for huge payouts if they beat Spain in Berlin.
GMS reports that the bonuses, most of them from endorsement deals, could rise up to a billion euros. Bellingham is expected to rake in almost half of the payouts, with the Real Madrid star's brand deals reportedly earning him £400 million.
Captain Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer and Kobbie Mainoo are the other players who could make as much as £100 million if they 'bring the trophy home.'
The report further claims that Southgate has already earned almost half of his bonuses after qualifying for yet another final.
