Manchester City stand to make about £4.5million from a FIFA programme that rewards clubs for providing players to World Cup squads.
In contrast, neighbours Manchester United will be losing out on a six-figure sum because of their decision to terminate Cristiano Ronaldo's contract at the start of the tournament. 16 of Pep Guardiola's players were in action in Qatar - a total only beaten by Barcelona's 17 - and forward Julian Alvarez will line up for Argentina in Sunday's final. United had 13 players at the tournament, not including Ronaldo, and will make a touch more than £2.9m.
FIFA's Club Benefits programme, which is worth £190m, sees every club paid $10,000 (£8,271) per day that a player is with their national team. But United said that the mutual agreement to release the Portugal forward was from “immediate effect”, leaving them ineligible for another slice of the £190m scheme.
Chelsea, who had 12 players selected, will make about £2.5m, while Tottenham, including France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, have 11 representatives, earning about £2.3m.
North London neighbours Arsenal are in line to receive £2.1m for their 10 players and Liverpool, who had only seven members of Jurgen Klopp's side in the Gulf, will make £1.5m.
Brighton, who had eight players, including Argentina’s Alexis MacAllister, benefited most of the clubs outside the traditional Big Six, stand to make about £1.2m.

But three clubs with only two players who failed to make it past the group stage - Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Southampton - made only £290,000.
More than 160 players who play club football in England - including 29 from the Championship - were involved with their national team squads. The Spanish leagues were next best on 87 - a little more than half of England's total - with Germany's in third with 80.
Meanwhile, the winners of Sunday afternoon's final will make about £50m in prize money. Yet that is a drop in the ocean of FIFA’s total projected revenue for the year, as the governing body confirmed on Friday afternoon, on the back of stronger-than-expected commercial revenues.
