It's in the interests of the agents to put out a figure a lot higher than what's being paid in reality for various reasons. I don't think the clubs themselves will ever disclose it.

Well we can't say for sure how much he's on, but to me it's not logical for wages to remain relatively low at a time when transfer fees are spiralling out of control. Why would any player renew his contract ? ? You could earn far more by just running down your contract. Therefore I expect wages to rise too
It's not really relatively low though. Sanchez is worth what, £70m odd in the current market? If we paid him 275k over 5 years that's £72m over the course of his contract. It marries up quite nicely, he's not exactly being done over. They won't run down their deals for the same reason they haven't all this time, security. They might start running it down for different reasons, i.e. because cash rich clubs will now be much more reluctant to sell their best players.
