French winger Kylian Mbappe is one of the biggest names in football today because of his creative and goal-scoring abilities.
He will be one of the most significant players in La Liga next season after he was unveiled as the new Real Madrid player.
No football star in Europe ranks ahead of the French star in terms of wages when he signed a lucrative deal with Paris Saint-Germain two years ago.
Note that he turned down opportunities to earn something bigger just to achieve his long-term dream of moving to Real Madrid.
If he hadn’t left Paris Saint-Germain, the winger would have been earning a whopping £86 million per season.
However, when it comes to wages, he is not on the top of the list of the 10 highest-paid players in Spanish La Liga.
It was revealed that Dutch midfielder Frenkie De Jong, who is currently nursing injuries, is the highest-paid player in the Spanish La Liga. He earns a whopping £31.6 million per season.
Another Barcelona player, Robert Lewandowski, occupied the second spot as the highest-paid player with £28.2 million per season.
Kylian Mbappe comfortably sits in third place with £26.3 million per season. According to the Sun, Mbappe is the highest-paid player at Real Madrid, ahead of Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham.
Apart from his basic wages, Mbappe is expected to keep 80% of the image rights on any new commercial deal he signs as a Real Madrid player.
Other Real Madrid players share a 50-50 rate with the club on any commercial deal signed. David Alaba, who had been out since December 2023 because of an ACL injury, receives a whopping amount of £19 million.
Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak is one of the goalkeepers on the list of the 10 highest-paid players in La Liga. Oblak receives £17.5 million per season.
His impressive performances over the years made Atletico Madrid offer him huge salaries.
The Slovenian goalkeeper receives the same amount as Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr., who also earns £17.5 million.
England midfielder Jude Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid in the 2023–24 season, earns £15.8 million every season.
Bellingham was instrumental to the success of Real Madrid last season, and he will be looking forward to scoring a lot of goals when the 2024–25 season starts.
Former Manchester City captain IIkay Gundogan is the 8th highest-paid player in La Liga. He receives £14 million every season.
Federico Valverde and Thibaut Courtois are the other Real Madrid players who filled the 9th and 10th position as the highest-paid players in the Spanish La Liga.
Valverde receives £12.6 million and Courtois gets £12.2 million per season.
