Foden and Maguire's huge off-pitch earnings despite Man City and Man Utd woes
England stars Phil Foden and Harry Maguire made millions from their image rights last year even as their teams endured miserable seasons on the pitch.
Man City midfielder Foden, 25, is sitting on a £8m fortune while Maguire's outfit was also valued at around £8m, including an impressive property portfolio. Last year Foden earned around £67,000 a week thanks to his name and profile. That's on top of his reported £225,000 a week City wages.
He is also sinking his cash into bricks and mortar. His company Rondog Sports Limited has £7.8m in cash and investments for 2024, up from £4.3m in 2023. It takes in cash from his earnings away from the pitch.
Top players earn extra cash from the sale of merchandise like shirts that bear their 'name, nickname, slogan and signatures, image, likeness, voice, logos, get-ups, initials, team or squad number'.
The nature of business for Maguire's firm HM5 was given as 'activites of patent and copyright agents'. Foden has a contract with City that stretches until 2027. He also has a lucrative boot deal with sportswear giant Nike.
Harry Maguire 's HM5 Ltd has £8m in cash and assets for 2024, up from £6.4m. He earns a reported £10m a year at United and has sunk £5m of his riches into investment property.
In 2022 , Foden won the PFA Young Player of the Year award. He was also the Premier League Young Player of the Season for the second consecutive year. He scored for City as they were knocked out of the World Club cup by Saudi Arabian side Al HIlal last night.
Pep Guardiola's side had come through the group stages unscathed but failed to reach the quarter-finals losing 4-3. It was a disappointing exit for Foden. City were reigning world club champions.
Maguire enjoyed a renaissance with United. He scored a late extra time winner for United in their 5-4 (agg 7-6) quarter final in their Europa League victory over Lyon. They went on to lose 1-0 to Spurs in the final.

Shin Yamada embracing his early days as a Celtic player
Shin Yamada is embracing his early days as a Celtic player as the Japan international gets used to life outside his comfort zone. The 25-year-old forward had spent his entire senior career with Kawasaki Frontale in his homeland prior to joining the Hoops on a four-year contract just over a week ago. Yamada has been in Italy with his new team-mates over the past week training and competing at the Como Cup. 'I'm glad to be a part of this Celtic team,' he said, speaking through a translator, in a club interview. 'This is the first time I have moved to a different club, so I am enjoying that. The quality of the team is very high, so I'm enjoying the football side of things. 'The first league game is coming soon, and we'll play in different competitions, so I would like to score a lot of goals and share good moments with the fans.' Yamada made an eye-catching first appearance for Celtic in Como on Saturday night and scored the winning penalty as his new side defeated Saudi Arabian team Al-Ahli in a shoot-out following a 1-1 draw. 'I'm happy to score the last goal to win the game,' he said. 'I wish I could have scored during the game, but in the end I contributed so it's good.' Celtic captain Callum McGregor believes his side are in good fettle as they prepare to kick off their William Hill Premiership title defence at home to St Mirren next Sunday. 'Pre-season has been good,' the midfielder said before the Hoops flew from Italy back to Scotland on Sunday. 'Every season throws up different challenges of trying to get up to speed, trying to integrate new players and find the rhythm of the team. 'At times it's looked really good and there are always bits we can brush up on. 'It's been a good five or six-week block. The boys have worked really hard. Everyone knows the objectives and we're ready to go. The big test for us will be next week. 'We'll be ready for St Mirren. We know that they always give you a tough game. The start of the week will be nice and chilled, and then we'll ramp it up as we go. 'We've been here a million times, so we know what to expect. The players know what's expected of them as well, so come Sunday we have to be ready.'

European shares jump to 4-month peak on US-EU trade deal
July 28 (Reuters) - European shares advanced to a four-month high on Monday, led by gains in pharma and semiconductor stocks, after the EU signed a trade deal with the United States, avoiding steeper tariffs ahead of the August 1 deadline. The pan-European STOXX 600 index (.STOXX), opens new tab rose 0.7% by 0815 GMT. Most regional bourses were also in the green, with Germany's blue-chip DAX (.GDAXI), opens new tab rising 0.6% and France's CAC 40 (.FCHI), opens new tab gaining 0.8%. UK's FTSE 100 (.FTSE), opens new tab added 0.1%. The trade agreement imposes a 15% tariff on most EU goods and requires the bloc to invest around $600 billion in the U.S. Tariff rates on spirits are still under negotiation. The deal "is positive for markets because it removes a lot of the uncertainty", said Anthi Tsouvali, multi-asset strategist at UBS Wealth. European companies are now "getting that clarity and I didn't see anything in the fine print that is outward and more negative," Tsouvali said. Expectations of similar trade agreements before the August 1 tariff deadline have helped lift the benchmark STOXX 600 to within 1.8% of its all-time high hit on March 4, marking a 19.5% rebound from its April trough. Pharmaceutical (.SXDP), opens new tab and automobile stocks (.SXAP), opens new tab - sectors with the largest exports to the United States - hit their highest in one month and two months, respectively. The baseline tariff brings tariffs for the auto industry down from the 27.5% faced before. Pharma heavyweights Novo Nordisk ( opens new tab and Roche (ROG.S), opens new tab rose 0.4% and 1.4%, respectively. Shares of Stellantis ( opens new tab and Volvo Cars ( opens new tab, which have pulled their 2025 financial guidance due to U.S. trade uncertainty, rose marginally. Spirits stocks Pernod Ricard slipped 1.4% and 1.3%, respectively, as the trade deal did not contain any decision regarding the spirits sector. Heineken ( opens new tab fell 4.3% after the Dutch brewer said it was weighing all options to deal with growing tariff challenges long-term, including shifting manufacturing. LVMH ( opens new tab rose marginally after media reports said French luxury goods group is in discussions with multiple buyers to offload its fashion label Marc Jacobs. ASML ( opens new tab, the world's biggest supplier of computer chip-making equipment, jumped 4.2%, while chipmakers Besi ( opens new tab and ASM International ( opens new tab were among the top gainers on the index adding 5.5% and 3.8%, respectively. In a week full of key events, investors will closely monitor policy decisions from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, earnings from several "Magnificent Seven" companies and the looming August 1 tariff deadline.

Europe Inc swerves Trump trade war 'hurricane' but laments higher tariffs
LONDON, July 28 (Reuters) - European companies were left wondering on Monday whether to cheer a hard-won U.S. trade deal or lament a still sharp jump in tariffs versus those in place before President Donald Trump's second term. A day earlier, European leaders heralded a framework trade deal with the United States that would impose a 15% import tariff on most EU goods, averting a spiralling battle between two allies which account for almost a third of global trade. Although the deal is better than the 30% rate threatened by Trump and will bring clarity for European makers of cars, planes and chemicals, the 15% baseline tariff is well above initial hopes of a zero-for-zero agreement. It is also higher than the U.S. import tariff rate last year of around 2.5%. "Those who expect a hurricane are grateful for a storm," said Wolfgang Große Entrup, head of the German Chemical Industry Association VCI, calling for more talks to reduce tariffs that he said were "too high" for Europe's chemical industry. "Further escalation has been avoided. Nevertheless, the price is high for both sides. European exports are losing competitiveness. U.S. customers are paying the tariffs." The deal, which also includes $600 billion of EU investments in the United States and $750 billion of EU purchases of U.S. energy over Trump's second term, includes some exemptions, even if details are still to be ironed out. Carmakers Volkswagen ( opens new tab and Stellantis ( opens new tab, among others, will face the 15% tariff, down from 25% under the global levy imposed by Trump in April. Stellantis shares rose 3.5% and car parts maker Valeo ( opens new tab was up 4.7% in early trade. German pharma group Merck KGaA ( opens new tab gained 2.9%. Aircraft and aircraft parts will be exempt - good news for French planemaker Airbus ( opens new tab - as will certain chemicals, some generic drugs, semiconductor equipment, some farm products, natural resources and critical raw materials. Shares in the world's biggest chip maker ASML ( opens new tab rose more than 4%, among the biggest gainers on the pan-European STOXX 600 (.STOXX), opens new tab index. Dutch brewer Heineken ( opens new tab cheered the deal, with CEO Dolf van den Brink welcoming the certainty it brought. The world's No.2 brewer sends beer, especially its namesake lager, to the U.S. from Europe and Mexico, and has also suffered from the indirect effect on consumer confidence in important markets like Brazil. The rate on spirits that could impact firms such as Diageo (DGE.L), opens new tab, Pernod Ricard ( opens new tab and LVMH ( opens new tab, is still being negotiated though. "It seems that in coming days there could be negotiations for certain agricultural products, zero for zero, which is what the European and U.S. sectors have been calling for," said Jose Luis Benitez, director of the Spanish Wine Federation. Benitez added that a 15% rate could put Europe at a disadvantage versus other wine exporting regions subject to 10% tariffs. "If there are any exceptions, we hope that the (European) Commission understands that wine should be one of them." Lamberto Frescobaldi, the president of Italian wine body UIV, said on Sunday that 15% tariffs on wine would result in a loss of 317 million euros ($372.63 million) over the next 12 months, though the group was waiting to see the final deal text. Others said that the agreement- which followed on the heels of a similar one with Japan - helped bring greater clarity for company leaders, but still threatened to make European firms less competitive. "While this agreement puts an end to uncertainty, it poses a significant threat to the competitiveness of the French cosmetics industry," said Emmanuel Guichard, secretary general of French cosmetics association FEBEA, which counts L'Oreal ( opens new tab, LVMH ( opens new tab and Clarins among its members. ($1 = 0.8507 euros)
