England players' bonus for winning Euro 2024 revealed as Three Lions close to first major victory in nearly 60 years

England players' bonus for winning Euro 2024 revealed as Three Lions close to first major victory in nearly 60 years

There are motivations other than money, but it'd help sweeten the deal

Not to get ahead of ourselves here, but 90 minutes or so on a football pitch is all that separates the Three Lions from their first major trophy since 1966.

In England's way stands Spain, who most would expect to be favourites for the tournament considering the way they've played.

On top of that is the fact that no Spanish men's team, club or country, has lost a cup final against foreign opposition since 2001, a record that covers a whopping 22 games.

England has it all to do, but anything can happen in football, while the hopes and dreams millions have invested in their success will go on regardless of the result.

It's England's second consecutive Euro final, having reached the final at Wembley against Italy in 2021, only to go out in the most heartbreaking of ways in a penalty shoot-out.

In the time between, the women's team won Euro 2022 with a 2-1 win over Germany and reached the final of the World Cup before falling to Spain of all nations.

However you slice it, England have been doing pretty well in tournaments in recent years but a win at Euro 2024 could make it all songs in the street.

If they do win the tournament, England's players will be in line for a bonus pot worth up to £10 million, which would be shared throughout the squad.

Of course, the victorious Three Lions would also be expecting some more lucrative sponsorship details to come their way if they won Euro 2024.

However, according to the Daily Telegraph, most of the players have no idea how much money would be coming their way because it's such a 'low priority' for them.

Ultimately, that bonus pot isn't going to make the difference between England winning or losing the final.

Rest assured, the team that takes to the pitch tomorrow (14 July) night will be sufficiently motivated by the chance of victory that whatever prize there is beyond the trophy isn't going to help.

England manager Gareth Southgate has said he wants 'to win so much on Sunday it hurts', so you can be certain they're sufficiently motivated by the high stakes surrounding the final.

He's said he wants to 'bring some temporary happiness' to an 'angry country'.

The manager added that the squad was in a different place compared to the last time he got them to a Euros final.

Southgate said it was 'a little bit more normal' this time around as he spoke of a team that has reached the finals of a tournament twice in four competitions under his management, having not reached any since the 66 World Cup victory.

Here's to an England team that only grows more accustomed to reaching the finals of major competitions.
