Leeds United defender Rasmus Kristensen has revealed he sometimes feels ashamed by his Elland Road pay-packet compared to people who he believes offer a greater function to society than football players.
The international full-back is currently at the European Championships with Denmark with whom he has qualified for the Round of 16 in Germany after spending the 2023/24 campaign on loan at Italian giants AS Roma.
Regarding his Elland Road salary, Kristensen said in a recent interview with Danish channel TV Midtvest: 'It is not me who decides how much money I earn. I am offered a contract, and then I just politely say yes, thank you. But it's crazy that there is so much money in football. 'I can be embarrassed that we as footballers earn so much. I'm actually ashamed sometimes.
