5 football stars who are underpaid

#2 Dani Carvajal

Another exceptional yet underrated talent who’s largely overlooked in terms of wages at Santiago Bernabéu is Dani Carvajal. The La Fábrica graduate patiently waited for his turn in the senior squad for a pretty long time and when he got the chance, he made himself indispensable.

His fight for the position was with another brilliant wing back Álvaro Arbeloa but Carvajal impressed so immensely that even Zidane had to admit that he could not think of his starting XI without Carvajal.

Though it seems Carvajal hasn’t made much impact in the minds of the decision maker at Madrid and it shows in his payslip. Carvajal earns £35,000 a week (Source: Total Sportek) which is astonishingly low compared to almost every other regular starters and bench warmers at Bernabéu.

If his performance grade remains even the same then the next transfer window can be a matter of concern for Real Madrid board members if they want to keep Carvajal at Bernabéu.
