    And they only pay Schmidt because she is on the national team.
    However, the fan favourite does earn income from her massive social media platforms.
    And as a result, Schmidt was able to turn down a huge sponsorship deal worth six figures as she felt “uncomfortable” with the brand.
    Schmidt told Bild: “Two months ago I received an offer from a well-known brand. But I wasn’t 100 per cent behind it.

    “I didn’t feel comfortable with that. That would have been in the mid-to-high six figures for a campaign.
    “In principle, I have to say that it is not easy for most German track and field athletes to make a living from sport.

    “Of course there is money to be made from competitions. In most competitions you don’t make any money.
    “Personally, I couldn’t live on these amounts alone, because for many competitions you still have travel and hotel costs, which aren’t always covered.
    “Most of us study part-time in order to build up a second source of income, or even have mini jobs that we do on the side.”

    Their interest, reported by Mail Sport, comes two years on from Kelly signing a three-year contract extension with City which expires next February.
    The winger currently earns £933,500-a-year.
    The WSL ace has flourished for club and country since scoring the match-winning strike that helped the Lionesses win the Euros in 2022.
    This season the London-born forward has helped her side keep pace with Chelsea in the league title race, notching up five goals and four assists in 13 games.

    The team, who visit Arsenal on Sunday, are currently second in the WSL and chasing their first top-flight crown since 2016.
    The Citizens are just three points off the league leaders and will be hoping to keep the pressure on Emma Hayes’ side going into the business end of the season.
    But, victory for Arsenal would see them move level with City, albeit behind on goal difference.
    The Daily Mail claims City hope Kelly will pen a new deal with the club before the final year of her contract.

    However, the Lioness is thought to be pausing discussions concerning her future until the end of this season.

    During an appearance on The MMA Hour, he said: “I’m done. Like I said, everything happens for a reason.

    “So, the fact that I wanted to get in the ring and train and feel that adrenaline, it kind of took over me mentally.
    “I believed that I can really do this, and that’s obviously the nemesis of a fighter: when your mind tells you you can do it, but your body is just not responding.
    “It’s a love-hate relationship that I have with boxing, but everything happens for a reason.
