Jadon Sancho Becomes The Second Highest-Paid Teenager In World Football

Jadon Sancho has catapulted to second place alongside Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior in the highest-paid teenagers in world football.

The Borussia Dortmund star, 19, has agreed to a stunning new deal that will see him pocket £190,000 per week in Germany.

And the Daily Mail has found that Sancho, who will earn £10m a year in his new contract, has become one of the best-paid youngsters in football.

According to the newspaper, only Callum Hudson-Odoi is above him as he edges closer to signing a five-year deal with Chelsea worth up to £200,000 per week.

The Blues winger, 18, has been in talks with the club over a new contract and has returned to training early after being sidelined by an Achilles tendon injury he picked up in April.

Further behind Hudson-Odoi, Sancho and Vinicius is Madrid's highly rated Rodrygo, who arrived at the club this summer and is on a £76,000-a-week contract.

Tottenham Hotspur summer signing Ryan Sessegnon is on £70,000 per week and rounds off the top five.

And Joao Felix, who was Atletico Madrid's marquee signing after they splashed out £113m to sign him from Benfica, came sixth with his £58,000-a-week deal.

Posted below are the top ten best-paid youngsters in the world.

• Callum Hudson-Odoi (Chelsea): £200,000 per week (*subject to official contract confirmation)
• Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund): £190,000 per week
• Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid): £190,000 per week
• Rodrygo (Real Madrid): £76,000 per week
• Ryan Sessegnon (Tottenham Hotspur): £70,000 per week

• Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid): £58,000 per week

• Phil Foden (Manchester City): £30,000 per week
• Reiss Nelson (Arsenal): £30,000 per week
• Takefusa Kubo (Real Madrid): £17,115 per week

Last week, the CIES Football Observatory ranked Sancho as the fifth most valuable player in the world, only behind the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Mohamed Salah, Raheem Sterling and Lionel Messi.
