Man City set to be paid the highest bonus by FIFA for having the most players involved in World Cup.
FIFA is set to pay Manchester City the highest bonus of any club for sending players to the World Cup.
The Premier League champions sent 16 stars to the tournament, representing nine different countries.
All but Julian Alvarez have returned home, with the striker still with Argentina as they prepare for the World Cup final on Sunday.
Man City are set to receive the largest compensation payment of any club in the world as a result of nine of their players reaching at least the quarter-finals.
In exchange for sending their stars to the tournament, FIFA distributes a £169 million Club Benefits Programme fund.
It works out as roughly £8,100 a day for each player who is at the World Cup, as well as the week building up to it.
According to The Times, City will be given a payment of £4.5m, far ahead of any of the Premier League rivals.
For each player who reaches the group stage, clubs can apply for a £145,000 payment from FIFA.
That payment rises to £177,500 for those who reach the last 16, £226,000 for the quarter-finals, £258,000 for the semi-finals, and £298,500 for reaching the final.
FIFA will payout for all the players at the tournament, regardless of whether they played any minutes or not. If a player has been at a club for less than two years though, the payments are shared with their former team.
