Maro Itoje’s staggering contract demands would make him England’s highest-paid player

#1. Owen Farrell – £820,000

Since firmly establishing himself as one of the leading lights in the professional game, Farrell has amassed over 200 appearances for Saracens, over 90 caps for England and he has also been selected for three consecutive British and Irish Lions tours in 2013, 2017 and 2021.

He has since gone on to captain his country and led them all the way to the 2019 Rugby World Cup Final in Japan.

Farrell’s stellar career thus far has seen him various individual accolades, including 2017 EPCR European Player of the Year after the club’s memorable win over Clermont Auvergne in Edinburgh.
