Can you find any list anywhere that confirms that? Because I can’t. He’s not even on any of the 2019 top 20 lists that I can find.
there was a story claiming that Shanghai were going to offer him a contract extension at some insane salary (£30m per year or something).. and over the last few days that seems to have morphed into “that’s what he’s being paid”
Happy to be proven wrong if you can find any evidence other than newspaper articles from the last week.
the only stuff I can find from when he was appointed quoted a figure of ~£5m per year, which isn’t even CLOSE to top 3
It seems like the €30m salary is rumoured, but the Times say he is on £19.4m a year and will now get £25m a year to stay. Benitez is on £12m a year.
