England international Kalvin Phillips may have only made 46 appearances in the last four years, but the midfielder is still raking in cash off the pitch.
Phillips, who broke onto the scene with Leeds United, has become a forgotten man ever since sealing a £42 million move to Manchester City in 2022. Since joining the Citizens, the 31-cap Three Lions star has only made 32 appearances for the club in four years.
He has spent time out on loan at West Ham and Ipswich Town in the Premier League. Phillips has been on loan to Sheffield United since February as he looks to increase his time on the pitch. However, the holding midfielder has only played three games due to injury and suspension.

One positive from his ill-fated spell at the Etihad is the £150,000-per-week contract he was handed upon signing from Leeds. City are still reported to be covering the majority of his wages while he's playing for the Blades in the Championship.
That's not the only source of eye-watering income for the 30-year-old. According to The Sun, Phillips makes the equivalent of £100,000 per game on top of his already handsome salary.
The ex-Leeds man has signed lucrative sponsorship deals with the likes of Adidas. Accounts for his image rights company, KP23 Ltd, show that the Sheffield United loanee earns £1.3 million every year in off-pitch earnings.
While it appears his England career is over due to his lack of minutes in recent years, Phillips will be able to retire with the memories of his incredible displays on the way to the Euro 2020 final.

Despite only managing 162 minutes on the pitch for his current loan side, Phillips' time in south Yorkshire could extend beyond the end of the current season. That's if Chris Wilder gets his way, at least.
Speaking about the English midfielder, the Sheffield United manager said: "He’ll have a lot of people still after him. We’ve brought a really good pro in. He was unlucky with his injury and he’s not played as much as he wanted to play."

“I spoke to him and said we’d love to be an option for you, your agent and your parent club if that is a possibility," Wilder added. The 58-year-old then urged the club to look into a permanent deal, saying:
"He certainly ticks the box in terms of personality and characteristics, off the pitch and on it. If there’s an opportunity, I’m sure we’ll try and explore that one."
