Real Madrid are in the league of their own as far as recent success is concerned, 3 champions league titles and last 4 years and beating Barcelona to La Liga title in 2016-17 season wrapped up incredible few seasons for Madrid. However unlike the other top European teams, Real Madrid have had a very quite summer transfer window only buying two players. We breakdown entire Real Madrid squad, contracts and player salaries going into the 2017-18 season.
Real Madrid are widely considered as the biggest club in the world and their recent success goes along way to justify the tag. However Florentino Perez will be gutted of losing the “Richest Club” tag to Manchester United who became the most valuable team in the world in 2017. Madrid will be keen to get back on top and they are on a right track as their squad is finely balanced with experience and youth.
Real Madrid’s wage bill is lower than that of Barcelona but way ahead of any other spanish side. We can safely assume Madrid’s wage bill is set to decrease as they have only brought in couple of quality youngsters in Theo Hernandez and Dani Ceballos while sending James Rodriguez on loan to Bayern and disposing off the likes of Alvaro Morta, Danilo, Mariano Diaz and Diego LIorente and Pepe.
Real Madrid Highest Paid Player:
- Cristiano Ronaldo is not only Madrid’s highest paid player but also worlds highest paid footballer earning a massive £365,000 a week which is after tax which means he cost around £700,000 a week to Real Madrid if we count the tax Real Madrid has to pay on his salary which is around 52% in Spain.
- Gareth Bale also signed a financially improved contract which is set to keep him at the club till 2022. He will be paid around £150m over the next six year if he stays at the club with new deal.
- Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Marco Asensio all signed new financially imroved deals in the last few months and we can expect Isco to pen his long term future to the club by december 2017 as he move into last year of his contract. We take a look at Real Madrid entire squad contracts and how they are getting paid weekly.

this is crazy
Nah! Real Madrid’s revenue last year was $660Million… and profit was $42 Million, that after they pay all their players and all other cost. Dont you think the players should deserve that money? Ronaldo alone sells over 1 million jerseys a year, lets says $50/Jersey. His salary a little over $20 million/year. He also brings fans to the stadiums, etc. Shouldnt he deserve that when he bring all that much revenue to Real?
more like 120/jersey. lol
It is a business , if they don’t perform they still get pay
He deserve it but jersey sale: the club only gets around 15-20% from jersey sales. They have already got the money in terms of sponsorship.
its SHAME ,, Really Shame ,, they just play !!
I know one guy he only shoot plenalty and he get 288,000 Pound a week
Unfair,, Millions of people die every year cuz of starve and These guys took millions cuz they just play
Retard, do you think at Barcelona the players play for food or what?
Bastard, SHAME on all european clubs who pay all this to players !
You are not making sense. If they don’t pay all this to the players they end up pocketing it. Who would you rather pocket all that money? Presidents? Clubs? Let the players have it they are the ones that solely sell jerseys and bring fans to stadiums. Do your research! Ronaldo for example sells over 1 million Jerseys/year for Real. That is just Jerseys. Lets say $50USD/jersey…. do the math. Doesnt he deserve all he makes even if not scoring (which he does even under-form)? Real Madrid in 2014 made $600 Million USD and after all the cost including what they pay players, they profited $45MIllion USD. Think about that!
U misunderstood my Fren…. They struggle their whole life to reach this level… How can you blame them?… Go to Google and search, how much CRonaldo & other players helps the needy people… And come back with some good comments… M sure you will…
Totally agreed with you! It is definitely a lot of money, however, what people need to understand is that, if that money is not distributed between the players, it would stay in the clubs and presidents like Florentino and others will end up piling all that money. Fans will continue buying tickets and jerseys no matter what…. let that money go to the players that really deserve it not those sitting in VIP watching them sweat day after day.
Hey @Barca Barcaa, have you taken training into consideration this guys work harder than labourers in training. It’s not just about getting on the pitch nd kicking the ball dats y it is not street football
Have you ever watch them training ?
it’s only runing and passing balls and get massaged !!
Not worth to get all this money
@disqus_BB6jZQR0e3:disqus you definitely sound like a freak.
you are really dumb dued
are u okay?
Please talk with sense. That same guy you talk of is the most charitable athlete in the world. you are here saying and i quote “Millions of people die every year cuz of starve”… what have you done about it? the other (CR7) who assists the needy, have you thanked him or encouraged him? YET HE DOES. I hate the fact that people just try to condemn others even when there’s no need to. @Barca Barcaa Baaarca please look at the man in the mirror
Great comment! These players work so hard and deserve to live life abundantly
Happy to pay!!! Love REAL!!!! LOVE FOOTBALL!!!
So you can just take penalties and score against minnows and get 288000.00 a week?!?! Holy crap, what do the good players make? I mean like Iniesta and Messi and players that make others around them better.
yor stupid
La Liga … a two team league, with one genuine outsider as a contender if all the stars line up …. and the rest happy to battle for that 4th spot.
He is help many people in his life
The players deserve more that, after all the labor per season. Especially Cr7
I think Marcelo deserves a new contract, he should earn much more, he has been with us for a long time. It’s a pity that he gets such a small salary, he’s a special player.
My friend I respect you a d your views
His love for Madrid may made him accept this peanut pay but deserves much better. Could get double with other clubs if willing to move.
Sadly, there’s hundreds, probably thousands, with the same skill, or better, just not the ability to be seen …same as many others sports, cough, “games*…..mainly golf..
Isco also signed a new contract.
he really deserve it cr7 he always try his best for the club
Marcelo earning £100,000 per week with his quality contributions to Madrid in comparison with others in the squad, is not fair. He deserves to be in paid in the region of £150,000.
