I checked it on FBRef and the figure given there is £250k. Anyway, the rest of the figures are closely matched by what I saw on FBRef.
The point is Bayern's wage bill is way more fecked than ours and that is the main reason De Ligt is being sold - a question that was asked at least 64 times in this thread.
Ours isn't really fecked anymore, people just keep repeating this thing because it was true 3-4 years ago.
Varane, Martial, Ronaldo, De Gea, Pogba, Cavani, and Mata all left the club in the last 24 months. That's over 2.1 million per week cleared from the wage bill.
Casemiro, Antony, Greenwood, Sancho, van de Beek, Maguire, Eriksen, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelöf, McTominay, Bayindir, and Amrabat are all likely to leave within the next 24. That's going to be another 1.5 million shaved off of it in the near future.
Of course, if our current promising crop of young players keep doing well, and keep improving, as well as success will collectively be achieved as a team, a lot of our players will need an improved contract, but that's expected and simply how things are.
My point is that there's a lot of space on our wage bill right now, and there's likely going to be even more soon, and a player of de Ligt's caliber will almost never earn less than £200k per week at a club the size of Manchester United.
