KYLE Walker’s career on (and off) the pitch has seen him become one of the most talked about football stars.
But some footy fans may wonder just how much he takes home each week, plus how much he is really worth.
England defender Kyle Walker plays for Manchester City, and it’s fair to say his lucrative contract with club has seen him rake in the cash.
As of January 2024, he has a net worth £27M.
This was boosted after he transferred to Man City from Tottenham for £50M back in 2017.
Kyle has also had a paid partnership with Nike since 2012 and endorses their football boots including the Nike T90 Laser IV, also worn by Wayne Rooney.
The footballer also owns a £3.5M six-bedroom mansion in Cheshire that boasts an indoor swimming pool.
Walker’s one of the most well-paid fullbacks in the world with a £160K a week salary.
This whopping pay packet totals to £8.32M per year.
Walker’s pay is way above the average Premier League Footballer, who is paid just over £60K a week, which equates to more than £3M a year.
However, as soon as a footballer drops to a lower division they take a huge pay cut.
Championship wages are just over £4K a week, which is around £200K a year.
Players in the bottom division are paid around £750 a week.
As footballers climb the rankings and show off what they have to offer, demand for them increases, which sees them able to demand more money.
David De Gea of Man United is the highest-earning player in the Premier League, and makes around £350K a week.
Salaries in football have increased more than 200% since 2000.
The footballer was born Kyle Andrew Walker in Sheffield on May 28, 1990, which makes him 33 (in January 2024).
He started his career at his boyhood club Sheffield United at the age of seven, and made his first-team debut aged 18.
Since then, he has enjoyed an incredible football career, which includes stints at Tottenham, Queen’s Park Rangers, and Aston Villa, before finally settling at Man City.
Away from the pitch, and his love life often hits the headlines.
In January 2024, Walker’s wife Annie announced she was separating Kyle after two years of marriage.
It came after it was revealed he had fathered a second child with Lauryn Goodman.
Walker and Annie share three kids together and only tied the knot in 2021.
The footballer is no longer living at the family’s Cheshire mansion.
