Germany's players will each receive a bonus of 300,000 euros if they win Euro 2016, national soccer association DFB said on Thursday, announcing the same scale of top-up payments on offer when the tournament was last played in 2012. World Cup winners in 2014, Germany are among the front-runners for the 24-team tournament in France starting on June 10. The DFB said that, despite this year's tournament having more teams and an extra knockout round, the bonus levels would be the same as for Euro 2012, where Germany lost in the last four.
