Real Madrid’s wage structure for the upcoming season has been laid bare, with new signings shaking up the financial hierarchy at the Bernabéu.
According to figures sourced from Capology and published by Transfermarkt, French superstar Kylian Mbappé leads the chart with a staggering annual salary of €31.3 million.
Closely following Mbappé is Austrian defender David Alaba, whose €22.5 million salary keeps him ahead of younger talents like Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr., who both earn €20.8 million annually. English fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold, one of the summer’s most eye-catching arrivals, enters the list at 5th with a yearly take-home of €16.7 million, matching the salary of Uruguayan midfield engine Fede Valverde.
Veteran goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois holds the 7th spot with €15 million, despite being sidelined with injury in recent seasons.
Brazilian defenders Éder Militão and Antonio Rüdiger both follow with identical salaries of €14.6 million.
Rising midfield stars Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Rodrygo each pocket €12.5 million annually, indicating Real Madrid’s investment in youth is as strong as ever.
Dani Carvajal, one of the longest-serving players at the club, earns €10.4 million, ranking 13th on the list. At the lower end, young Spanish defender Pablo Ramón Huijsen earns €9 million per year, still a sizeable amount for a 19-year-old prospect.
The salary list not only shows Real Madrid’s financial muscle but also reveals the club’s prioritization of attacking prowess and strategic acquisitions.
