The World Cup performances of Manchester City’s players will bring in the most money of any Premier League team.
The Club Benefits Programme, a payment system run by Fifa, pays clubs £8,100 for each day one of their players competes in the competition.
It also takes into account the weeklong period of preparation before the games began in Qatar.

Man City will receive £4.5 million in compensation for sending 17 players to the World Cup.
Man City and Argentine forward Julian Alvarez is one of largest percentage paid player from Premier league as he has reached the final – where each club receive around £297,000 for every player involved.
Each player receives around £257,000 for the semifinals, £225,000 for the quarterfinals, £177,000 for the last-16, and £144,000 for the group stage since the sums of money rapidly decline the sooner a player leaves the competition.
The payments are made whether or not the players participated in the competition for their nation.
Therefore, even if Argentina had reached the final without him playing a single minute, Alvarez would still be earning the £297,000 for Man City.
He ended up scoring four goals and is still in the running for the Golden Boot going into the France match, one behind Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.
Kyle Walker, John Stones, Ederson, Phil Foden, Kevin de Bruyne, Jack Grealish, and Bernardo Silva are other City players competed in the tournament.
Rival Premier League teams will also profit significantly from their players’ World Cup performances.
Man Utd would earn £2.92 million from the 13 players they sent to the tournament, according to The Times’ calculations, which were published before France’s victory against Morocco.
Chelsea is expected to get £2.47 million from their 12 participants.
Hugo Lloris, the captain of France, is one of 11 Tottenham players who have been in Qatar, with Spurs potentially earning £2.33 million.

Then comes their rivals from North London, Arsenal, who will resume their title defense with a £2.11 million bonus for the 10 of their players that participated in the World Cup.
Liverpool, the last team from the regarded “top six,” will receive £1.55 million from its seven players who traveled to the Middle East.
Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, and Southampton will be the Premier League teams with the lowest earnings from this benefits program.
With just two players on each team participating in the World Cup, none of those three teams will earn more than £291,000 after the tournament.
