Modern England footballers are among the most handsomely paid players in the sport worldwide, earning hundreds of thousands of pounds each week.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Player wages have often been a point of serious debate and derision among the general public. There are those who think public sector workers should be more fairly compensated in comparison and some who find it generally unsavoury for anyone to earn that sort of money in a modern world filled with poverty.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the state of play for England players and how they are compensated financially at international level.<\/p>\n

How much do England players get paid per international match?<\/h2>\n<\/figure>\n

Football is a private industry which allows players and others in the sport to earn huge salaries.<\/p>\n
However, it\u2019s not as simple when it comes to international football as there is a more tangible link with the public purse.<\/p>\n
It was reported by\u00a0Wales Online<\/em>\u00a0during the 2022 World Cup that England players receive around \u00a32,000 per match they play. That\u2019s a lot of money to most people, but in the context of elite-level football it\u2019s a pittance.<\/p>\n
The players don\u2019t see that money, however.<\/p>\n
An agreement in place since 2007 sees all match fees donated to a charity pot, the England Football Foundation. That money is then distributed to various charities, with around \u00a35m believed to have been raised by the England men\u2019s national team since the scheme began.<\/p>\n
It was reported by\u00a0The Mail on Sunday<\/em>\u00a0in the build-up to the last World Cup that\u00a0England\u00a0players could be in line for \u00a3500,000 bonuses if they won the tournament, but it was not clear what the charity aspect of that figure was. The real financial benefit of winning a World Cup to a player is the improved commercial pull and the chance to use that gold medal as leverage in contract negotiations.<\/p>\n
As for England boss Gareth Southgate, he was supposedly set to claim \u00a33m if England had been victorious, which would have seen him take home \u00a39m for that year. England were knocked out in the quarter-finals, meaning each player who featured in all five World Cup games contributed \u00a310,000 each.<\/p>\n

Who are the highest-paid England players?<\/h2>\n<\/figure>\n

Jordan Henderson leapfrogged the likes of Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Marcus Rashford as the highest-earning member of the England squad when he left Liverpool for Al Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League.<\/p>\n
His wages shot up to a reported sum of around \u00a3600,000-700,000 per week, though there were immense complications that led to him\u00a0receiving significantly less\u00a0than that. His decision to leave in January 2024 also meant he gave up a large amount of his proposed wages.<\/p>\n
Now at Ajax,\u00a0Capology\u00a0state he is now earning just shy of \u00a377,000 a week not including bonuses, which puts him way below some of his Three Lions teammates.<\/p>\n
After a summer in which some of the biggest England stars made moves, it\u2019s captain Kane who now sits at the top.\u00a0Bayern Munich\u00a0prised Tottenham\u2019s all-time leading goalscorer away from north London with the promise of regular trophies and an even larger wage packet.<\/p>\n
While silverware looks unlikely to arrive in his first season in Bavaria, Kane now earns around \u00a3415,000 a week in Germany. He is followed by Bellingham, who makes roughly \u00a3345,000 a week after his move to Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
The highest-paid\u00a0Premier League\u00a0player for England right now is Chelsea\u2019s Raheem Sterling at \u00a3350,000 per week, but he has fallen out of favour with manager Southgate in recent years.<\/p>\n
Rashford and Jack Grealish both rake in \u00a3300,000 a week, while John Stones earns \u00a3250,000 a week at Manchester City.\u00a0Manchester United\u00a0duo Mason Mount and Jadon Sancho also get \u00a3250,000 a week.<\/p>\n
