Lineker: ‘I'm kind of the whipping boy for the Âé¶¹Éç’

Gary Lineker has told Âé¶¹Éç Radio 5 Live that he’s in negotiations over his pay.

Speaking to Nihal Arthanayake, the Match of the Day presenter described himself as “kind of the whipping boy for the Âé¶¹Éç on all sorts of topics.â€

He added, “we can't really justify our salary compared to people who do a real job but that's the market rate".

Lineker topped a list of the Âé¶¹Éç's highest paid stars in July 2019.
