Man City To Receive $5M From FIFA For World Cup Players

FIFA announced Man City is the the biggest beneficiary from the $209M handed out by FIFA to clubs that released players for the 2018 World Cup, according to Brian Homewood of REUTERS. Man City will receive $5M, ahead of Real Madrid ($4.8M), Tottenham ($4.4M), Barcelona ($4.14M) and Paris St. Germain ($3.9M). They are followed by Chelsea, ManU, Atlético Madrid, Juventus and Monaco. In all, English clubs -- including those from the lower tiers -- will receive $37.41M between them while Spanish clubs will receive $22.56M, German clubs $18.9M and Italian clubs $17.45M. FIFA pays a club a basic amount of $8,530 per day for every player released for the World Cup, "although this has to be split with any club which the player has represented in the previous two years" (REUTERS, 12/4).
