#4 Marcelo, £200,000 per week
Marcelo is one of the greatest left-backs of our generation. The Brazilian international has been phenomenal for the Galacticos over the past five to six years and hugely successful for the Spanish giants. With his great pace and exceptional crossing abilities, the 30-year-old has been one of the most influential Real Madrid players of the modern era. It is no surprise that he earns a huge salary at the Santiago Bernabeu.
#3 Sergio Ramos, £200,000 per week
The Real Madrid and Spain captain is one of the greatest defenders of the modern era. Sergio Ramos has played 556 competitive games for the Los Blancos and scored 74 goals. He has won four LaLiga titles, four UEFA Champions League titles, and many more during his trophy-laden career at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Spaniard is one of the highest paid defenders in world football.
#2 Toni Kroos, £200,000 per week
The German international is one of the greatest midfielders of our all-time. The 28-year-old has won UEFA Champions League titles with two different clubs and is one of the most influential players in world football at the moment. Kroos has won almost everything in Spain and Germany, and has also won the FIFA World Cup in 2014. One of the best passers of the game, Kroos’ vision, and technical abilities are impeccable.
#1 Gareth Bale, £350,000 per week
The Welshman is easily the highest paid player in the Real Madrid squad after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus this summer. Bale’s salary of £350,000 per week puts him in the bracket of one of the highest paid footballers in the world. He is expected to lead Real Madrid’s attack this season and will play a huge role under his new manager. On his day, there is no defense in the world that can stop him.
