City Stars To Earn Big For Quadruple

Manchester City players can reportedly pick up £400,000 per-man if they go on to land an historic quadruple of trophies this season.

Pep Guardiola’s team have already picked up the Carabao Cup and will secure a place in the Champions League quarter-finals if they see out last month’s dramatic late 3-2 comeback first-leg win over Schalke in tonight’s Old Trafford encounter.

City defender Aymeric Laporte is fit and poised to replace the suspended Nicolas Otamendi, who saw red against the struggling Bundesliga outfit.

City, who currently top the Premier League table by just one point from Liverpool, also face Championship side Swansea City this weekend for a place in the FA Cup semi-finals.

The Citizens have a lucrative bonus scheme in place at the Etihad, paying their expensive squad lower basic wages in return for huge pay outs if they are successful in the quest for silverware.

Stars including Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling did not pick up much for their recent League Cup triumph over Chelsea at Wembley, but the Manchester giants are believed to be committed to around a further £15m in squad bonuses if Guardiola’s men do manage a clean sweep of trophies.
