MANCHESTER CITY’S Treble has put them on course for an astonishing £335MILLION bonus.
The Champions League winners know they will never be universally loved thanks to charges related to 115 alleged breaches of historical Financial Fair Play rules.
But there is no doubting their sensational play on the pitch has brought in an unprecedented amount of prize money this term.
City have lifted the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in the space of three weeks and they could soon have two more trophies in the bag, as they take on Arsenal in the Community Shield and Europa League winners Sevilla in the Super Cup.
A fifth Premier League crown in six years is estimated to be worth £164m.
Their long-awaited first Champions League victory added another £117.2m, while beating Manchester United in the FA Cup saw them trouser £3.9m — taking the total to a staggering £285.1m.

That is not all — Saturday’s win over Inter Milan has guaranteed City entry into the new-look Fifa Club World Cup in 2025, which will be worth about £50m.
That adds up to about £335m, which will delight chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak and owner Sheikh Mansour.
The total amount of prize money could see Man City recruit some huge transfer targets – potentially including Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe signed for Paris Saint-Germain in a huge £166million transfer from Monaco in 2017.
