Declan Rice has gone from being released by Chelsea as a teenager to making his name at West Ham United to becoming a £105 million signing for Arsenal. This has led to a lucrative contract with the Gunners.
We are taking a look at Rice's earnings, with figures from the football finance website, Capology.
What is Declan Rice's Arsenal contract?
Rice joined Arsenal in 2023, just after helping West Ham win the Europa Conference League. He signed a five-year deal with the Gunners with an option to extend for another year. His current deal will expire on June 30, 2028.
How much does Declan Rice earn at Arsenal?
Period | Gross salary |
|---|---|
Annual | £12,480,000 |
Monthly | £1,040,000 |
Weekly | £240,000 |
Daily | £34,192 |
Hourly | £1,425 |
What bonuses are included in Rice's contract?
It has been reported that Rice's bonuses can see him earn £300,000 per week or £15.6 million annually. Whilst the bonuses have not been disclosed, they will likely be based on individual and team achievements.
Rice will likely get appearance bonuses, which he would achieve as he rarely misses games. He played in 55 games in all competitions last season. The midfielder also scored five goals with 11 assists last season, and he may have a goal contribution bonus. He was also Arsenal's player of the season for the 2024/25 campaign, so he would have got a bonus for that too.
Arsenal won the Premier League, so he and his teammates would likely have earned a team bonus for that. If the Gunners had won the Champions League too, then a far greater team bonus would have been expected.
How does Rice's salary compare with other football stars?
Player: | Weekly wage: | Annual salary: |
|---|---|---|
Jude Bellingham | £345,000 | £18M |
Bruno Fernandes | £300k–400k | £15.6M–20.9M |
Declan Rice | £240,000 | £12.48M |
Martin Ødegaard | £220k–£240k | £11.5–12.5M |
Rodri | £220k–295k | £11.4M–15.3M |
Bernardo Silva | £300k–457k | £15.6M–23.8M |
Figures from Capology.
Rice is believed to earn more than his Arsenal captain, Martin Ødegaard. However, his salary is dwarfed by that of Jude Bellingham and Bruno Fernandes. Rice's wage is above par compared with Rodri's at Manchester City. This is surprising as Rodri is a Ballon d'Or winner. Rodri renewed his contract at City the year before Rice joined Arsenal. Rice was linked with City before he joined Arsenal. As he was in demand, this would have helped Rice, whom his relatives represent in negotiations with the Gunners.
What is Declan Rice's estimated net worth?
According to Salary Sport, Rice's net worth is £52,072,800. His wage from Arsenal contributes mostly to this. He was in the West Ham first team for eight years before joining the Gunners, where he would have already made a fortune. Rice will also earn a great deal from sponsors.
Which brands sponsor Declan Rice?
Rice's main and long-standing sponsor is Adidas. He is also endorsed by Ōura, Burberry, L’Oréal Paris, Xiaomi, Müller Rice, Cadbury, and Prada. As Rice is a young man at a top Premier League club who is also an England player, this makes him very marketable.
Conclusion
Rice has done extremely well for a player who was released by Chelsea when he was a boy. He has shown great resilience and has reaped the rewards for this. If he sees out his Arsenal contract and takes the option for a further year, this will take him to 34 years of age.
It may be that Arsenal will want to renew his contract as he is becoming one of the best midfielders in the world. This would ward off a club such as Real Madrid, which may be interested in his services. Rice could spend the rest of his playing career with Arsenal. Possibly a stint in MLS at the end of his career could be a final big paycheck.
It is too early to speculate what Rice will do once he has retired. He is a leader, so a future as a manager could be on the cards. Rice is a popular character, so punditry may also be a possibility.
