Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently in 11th place in the Premier League table.

Nuno Espirito Santo the head coach

According to the Daily Mail, Wolverhampton Wanderers’ players can earn a £12 million bonus for earning Europa League qualification.

Wolves took the ‘highly unusual’ step of offering their players incentivised bonus payments depending on how highly they finished in the Premier League.

Indeed, Nuno’s men will only receive a rather modest £3 million payout if they narrowly avoid relegation.

Wolves’ board are only prepared to pay out the bigger fees, if the team perform to their lofty expectations.

Wolves are set to earn £10 million for a 10th place finish, which is the same payment Cardiff City’s players will get just for finishing outside the bottom three.

Nuno Espirito Santo the head coach

The Mail claim that Wolves’ decision to offer such a bonus scheme to their players is very rare for a newly promoted club.

It seems that Wolves will comfortably finish above the relegation zone this term, as they are currently in 11th place in the Premier League table.
