That amount includes sponsorship, i'm guessing?

If that is the case, Yaya Toure is probably getting paid as much per week by Man City as Ronaldo gets paid per week by Real Madrid. :o

I don't think so, because Beckham would surely be near or at the top if it did.

Regardless, didn't know that Torres was getting that much more than JT and Lamps...

I don't disclose my wage, how do people know that's what they earn?

Its media specultion because if i remember rightly Terry has a clause in his contract to be on par with the clubs top earner.

Futebol Finance and Kam Sports International are marketing agencies that release a list of the top football salaries periodically.

They mentioed during the fa cup final that Yaya Toure is on about £220,000 per week. So I can't imagine Torres is earning that much..

Last time I heard, Lampard, Terry and Torres were all on about 150-160,000 per week?

Well Terry has a clause in his contract that makes him top earner or on par with top earners and i would think lamps has some thing similar, also rooney apparently is on close to 250 grand a week and so is yaya toure is on simlar wages, Nobody really knows the correct amount its speculation.

I've heard people talk about this, but does he really have such a clause in his contract? Can someone offer me a link to an article(that is not just media speculation) or an interview that proves that the clause exists?

Is this raw wages, or with endorsmenets and the like added on?
