What is the median salary for Football players in English Premier League EPL?

Answer 1

Median Salary for the Premier League

Here are answers and opinions from FAQ Farmers:

• I remember reading a report (a Deloitte & Touche Report) that back in the 2000/2001 or 2001/2002 season, the median salary/wage was 400,000 pounds or approximately $600,000. It has defintely risen since then.

• The 400,000 pounds ($600,000) is tax free because the football clubs pay the taxes in England.

• �400,000, that's what some of the big footballers take home in a month! Sol Campbell of Arsenal is reportedly on a contract worth �100,000 a WEEK. That is take home so the gross figure is a lot more than that.

• All players take home more than $600.000 a year, they make that in maybe 4 to 5 weeks.

• The top ten earners in British Football earn about $250,000 a week but no more than that. However, when you add all the money they get from sponsorships and endorsing products it probably comes out as over $400,000 a week for the richest - that's about how D. Beckham earns in Madrid.

• I dont think anyone knows this exactly beside the players and the club managment.
