Balotelli wins £1million for not been sent off the pitch three times this season


Mario Balotelli, Carlos Tevez and Bastian Schweinsteiger are the latest players to have their huge salaries revealed in the book Football Leaks: The Dirty Business of Football.

Sportsmail's publication of extracts from the book, which came out on Thursday, has prompted a FIFA probe into Paul Pogba's deal to Manchester United.

Bonus payments usually relate to winning trophies and appearance targets but Balotelli's Liverpool deal included a £1million bonus clause for not getting sent off three times in a season.

It read: 'If during each season of the term of this contract the player is not dismissed from the field of play on three or more occasions for violent conduct, spitting, for using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures and/or for dissent ... then on the June 30 at the end of each season he shall receive a bonus payment of £1 million.'
