We all know footballers make a lot of money, but it’s still striking to see it written down in black and white.
Discussions over which players are worth paying millions of pounds are so common that we almost become desensitised to the enormity of their contracts.
It definitely seems odd to think that they have a pay day at the end of the month just like the rest of us.
But it all becomes a little clearer when you see this, the payslip of Bayern Munich defender Mehdi Benatia who apparently makes a pretty penny for warming the German giants’ bench.
It appears the Moroccan defender’s payslip was shared around on WhatsApp after it was stolen from his car.
Is that monthly salary of €333,400 really worth it after taxes?
