MANCHESTER CITY stars will pick up £1million bonuses if they win the Premier League and Champions League Double.
The table-toppers have scrapped the traditional pool split between the squad when they pick up a trophy.
Now senior players stand to pocket a seven-figure sum if, as expected, manager Pep Guardiola guides them to the Prem title — and they follow that up with a win in the European final in Kiev, Ukraine, on May 26.
Agents now negotiate big rewards for trophies when stars commit their future to the Etihad.
When put together, City stars can get more than £1m in total if they are crowned champions of England and Europe in the next three months.
Clubs usually agree to pool bonuses, which get divided up after any glory.
