As per The Sun, Jude Bellingham is set to be the highest earner of the lot, thanks to his two match-winning contributions so far and also in part thanks to the brand he has formed since his move to Real Madrid, which saw him become one of the best players in the world. He is set to earn over £400 million ($508m) if the Three Lions lift their first major trophy since 1966.
