4. Owen Farrell (Saracens) – £750,000
In 2020, the captain of the England rugby team inked an agreement to remain with Saracens until at least the 2023 World Cup.
However, earlier this year, there were unverified claims that he had secured a significant new contract, potentially elevating his earnings to approximately £820,000. These reports lacked solid evidence to support their validity.
Furthermore, it had been disclosed earlier that he had voluntarily deferred 90% of his salary to assist the club in navigating the financial challenges arising from the Covid-19 pandemic.
3. Dan Biggar (Toulon) – £800,000
The only Welshman on this list, Biggar was previously earning around £600,000 at Northampton Saints, having joined the Gallagher Premiership side from the Ospreys. However, he recently left the Saints to join French giants Toulon, where he is reportedly earning around £800,000.
