Fact check: Has Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal players promised massive bonuses if they complete historic Premier League and Champions League Double?

Arsenal players are closing in on one of the biggest moments in the club’s modern history. Mikel Arteta’s side are just three wins away from lifting their first Premier League title since the famous Invincibles season in 2004. The North London club has remained consistent over the last few years but narrowly missed out on the league crown in the previous three campaigns. This season, however, Arsenal are in a strong position to finally end their long wait for domestic glory.

The excitement around the club has grown even more after Arsenal booked a place in the UEFA Champions League final. The English giants defeated Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals and will now face Paris Saint-Germain in the final at the Puskas Arena in Budapest on May 30. Along with the chance to make history, Arsenal players could also receive huge financial rewards. Reports suggest the squad is in line for multi-million-pound bonuses if they complete a famous Premier League and Champions League Double this season.

Arsenal players could earn more than £2 million in bonuses

According to reports by The Times, an Arsenal player who features in every match and helps the club win both competitions could earn around £2.13 million in bonus payments. The reward package includes several different performance-based payouts linked to both domestic and European success.

The biggest share would come from winning the Champions League. Arsenal players are expected to receive around £1.175 million if they beat PSG in the final. That figure reportedly includes bonuses collected during the knockout rounds, including rewards from the semi-final stage and the final itself.

The players have already secured another large amount through qualification for this season’s Champions League after finishing second in the Premier League last year. Arsenal’s squad is also set to benefit from league appearance payments across the 38-match campaign. Reports claim players receive close to £6,000 per league appearance throughout the season.

There is also a separate shared bonus pool linked to Arsenal’s progress in league and cup competitions. The final amount distributed to each player reportedly depends on the number of appearances made during the season.

Arteta’s side still have important matches remaining in the Premier League title race. Arsenal will travel to face West Ham United and Crystal Palace away from home. Their final home game of the campaign will come against Burnley on May 18.

With both the Premier League title and Champions League trophy within reach, Arsenal’s players now have the chance to secure club history along with a massive financial reward.
