Newcastle United set for cash bonus following FIFA World Cup announcement

Newcastle United, along with all other Premier League clubs, will receive compensation for each player taking part in this winter’s World Cup in Qatar.

FIFA has confirmed a compensation package worth £189m, with clubs set to receive £9,000 per player, per day.

This means that for every player who reaches the World Cup final, in a 28-day tournament, a club will receive just over £250,000.

From a Newcastle United point of view, Eddie Howe hopes to say goodbye to at least two players.
