- But who earns the most, and how do they spend it? From Jack Grealish and Jadon Sancho to Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka, we crunched the figures
It may be all tears and recriminations in the England football camp today, after the national team were heartbreakingly denied the Euro 2020 trophy, losing to Italy on penalties at Wembley Stadium late on Sunday night. It marked the team’s first major tournament final in 55 years, and a well-deserved result for a squad that is likely to go down in the history books.
But there’s one title no one can take away – the most expensive team in the tournament. According to pre-kick-off estimates, the 26-member squad is collectively worth an eye-watering US$1.63 billion to the teams they play for.
While they may be hot commodities on the transfer market, that’s not the same thing as a monthly pay packet. So how much of that wealth do the players actually see themselves, and who is worth the most?
Here’s STYLE’s list of the top 10 highest earners in the Euro 2020 England squad.
Raheem Sterling – US$52.8 million
Earning more than US$417,000 per week for his contract with Manchester City, Sterling is probably the highest-paid native player of England’s Premier League. Sterling previously had a sponsorship deal with Nike, featuring in various advertisement campaigns for the shoemaker. In May 2021, he signed up with American sports footwear brand New Balance.
And spending it? Sterling is no stranger to extravagant living, as per The Sun, he reportedly bought a US$4.1 million mansion with five luxurious bedrooms and three garages. His net worth is estimated at US$52.8 million.
Harry Kane – US$46 million
