#8 Thibaut Courtois | Goalkeeper | £150,000-a-week
After a shaky start to life in Madrid, Thibaut Courtois is on the verge of one of the most spectacular seasons by a goalkeeper in LaLiga, let alone for Real Madrid. The towering Belgian has conceded an astonishing 18 goals in 32 league games for Los Blancos and is all set to win the coveted Zamora Trophy for his performances. He is one of the cornerstones of Real Madrid's unbreachable defence.

#7 Luka Jovic | Forward | £170,000-a-week
One of Real Madrid's more disappointing seasons in recent times, Luka Jovic's transfer has not panned out the way either party hoped for it to. The Serb was in cracking form in the 2018/19 campaign and was brought in as Karim Benzema's eventual successor. However, he's failed to hit those heights and notably struggled for form in Madrid. To make matters worse, he made headlines during the lockdown for the wrong reasons.
The recently-recruited striker is on a deal that sees him earn a figure of £170,000 per week and is contracted to Zidane's side until 2025.
#6 Luka Modric | Midfielder | £180,000-a-week
Luka Modric remains, so far, the only Ballon d'Or winner in an era dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The Croat was arguably one of the best midfielders of the last decade, but his powers have begun to wane over time. Despite that, Modric has amassed 29 league appearances under Zidane this season. He is widely expected to part ways with Los Blancos in the near future.
The World Cup finalist turns 35 in less than two months and is currently on a £180,000-a-week deal at the club.
#5 Toni Kroos | Midfielder | £200,000-a-week
It is difficult to think of a trophy that Toni Kroos has failed to capture in what has been a fairytale career so far. The German midfield controller has won every trophy he's competed for barring the UEFA Euro with Germany. Kroos will retire as one of the greatest midfielders of a generation for his unbelievable ability to regulate the tempo of a game. The 30-year-old has been at the heart of Real Madrid's achievements since his move in 2014.
The midfielder orchestrator earns a salary of £200,000-a-week at the Santiago Bernabeu and is contracted until 2023.
#4 James Rodriguez | Midfielder | £200,000-a-week
Ah, how the mighty have fallen. James Rodriguez once had the world quite literally at his feet after a stellar World Cup 2014 campaign where he won the Golden Boot. After a fantastic couple of seasons with Real Madrid, Rodriguez was sent out on loan and is now struggling to break into the first-team setup, let alone the first XI. He has been repeatedly left out of Matchday squads by Zidane and has managed just five LaLiga starts this year.
Regardless, he is one of their highest earners at a whopping £200,000-a-week salary and is expected to depart from the capital this summer.
#3 Sergio Ramos | Defender | £200,000-a-week
If there is one player who could personify the mentality of this Real Madrid side, it just has to be their leader and legend, Sergio Ramos. The veteran defender is one of the greatest defenders to have donned the white of Real Madrid. Ramos has been in fine form this campaign and has been key to the best defence in Spain. On the other end of the pitch, he's scored a whopping ten goals in his 32 LaLiga games.
The captain's expiring contract and future has been a topic of much debate and is said to currently earn £200,000-a-week at the club.
#2 Gareth Bale | Forward | £350,000-a-week
Gareth Bale is undisputedly the most polarising figure in the Spanish capital. On ability, the Welshman is one of the best players in the world on this day and has been pivotal to Los Blancos' recent success. However, he has mostly been a peripheral figure under Zidane and has been continuously criticised by Spanish media for his affinity to playing golf. Bale has made only 12 LaLiga starts this year, adding to 1092 minutes.
The Welsh winger has come close to leaving Madrid a few times in the past, particularly last summer. He is the second-highest earner at the Bernabeu, earning £350,000-a-week.
#1 Eden Hazard | Forward | £400,000-a-week
Eden Hazard was Real Madrid's first 'Galactico' signing since James Rodriguez in 2014. Despite the hype particularly after his breathtaking 2018/19 season with Chelsea, Hazard has had a turbulent season in the Spanish capital. The Belgian has been repeatedly hit by injuries in his debut season and has had not had anywhere close to the impact he was tipped to have. Los Blancos would hope for the talismanic winger to rediscover his touch ahead of the 2020/21 season after just 13 starts this campaign.
He earns a whopping £400,000-a-week in the Spanish capital, being their highest earner by some distance.
