How much does youth football players get paid ??

The likes of Oscar, Coutinho, Sterling, Alaba, Thiago, Callejon, Piazon, Coquelin, Pogba and even less talented players .....

When they get in the first team of their club, how much do they earn ?

I don't think they sign a contract because it's too risky for the club. you don't give a WELL PAID 4 years

contract to a 17yo boy. he may fail to succeed. But i don't think the young player is going to agree with a

very low salary either , as he is likely going to increase his value in those years to come.

Thanks for the replies Very Happy

Florenzi from Roma was in their youth academy until this season. At the start of the season he was on only €30,000 p.a. (usual youth contract) and he signing his first professional contract recently, a five year deal worth €400,000 yearly and increasing by a certain % each season.

Over half of the players OP mentioned are over 20 already, not youth players, imo.

But I'd imagine that there are not many under 20-year-olds who earn five-figure sums in a week.

Yes but when they got in the first team they weren't 20. Taht's my point.

did they sign a well paid contract at 17 ? or is it just now as they are proving to be good and consistent that they get the contract ?

callejon is 25. he does look younger though.

i dont know the numbers but if i had to guess, most youth players (at top clubs) but still playing in youth leagues or in segunda in real madrid's case make around 500.000 - 1m

i think most youth players earn around 500-1000 per week at Arsenal

what a *bleep* joke that is... so some teenage nobody is earning more for the amazing skill of kicking a ball non-professionally than someone in an entry-level graduate position :facepalm:
