Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Henri Lansbury might have struggled at Aston Villa, but he could be set for a major wage rise.
The 28-year-old has suffered an injury-hit second full season at Villa, playing only five times.
In fact, he has only featured 35 times for them since joining from the Reds in January 2017 for around £3m.
Nonetheless, he is set to see a weekly pay packet reportedly worth £40,000 a week, go up significantly, if Villa win the Championship play-off final against Derby.
Nottingham Forest to face Greek club as part of pre-season preparations
The Mirror, who do not report a figure for the rise, say former owner Dr Tony Xia included contract clauses in a number of signings as he splashed out when he bought the club.
Ross McCormack, Scott Hogan, Gary Gardner and James Bree - all of who are well down the pecking order - are other players who could benefit.
McCormack once endured a miserable loan spell at the City Ground, with his career falling apart since he joined Villa. His wage will rise to £70,000 a week if Villa win at Wembley.
Gardner also spent time on loan at Forest, winning over supporters to a much greater degree. He is set for a 'hefty' rise on his salary, although no figure is given.
The Mirror say new owners Wes Edens and Nassef Sawiris will want a compromise over several of those deals to limit the damage which could be as much as £4m at present.
