#5 Toni Kroos (Central Midfielder) - £200,000/weeks
Probably Real Madrid's most consistent player last season, Toni Kroos has arguably taken his game to new heights ever since he made the move to Madrid from Bayern Munich. Calm, composed and always assured on the ball, Kroos is the conductor in the midfield who pulls the strings for the Spanish giants.
The 27-year-old has slightly gone off the boil in the last few weeks and that has been one of the major reasons for Real Madrid's indifferent form this season.
#4 Marcelo (Left-back) - £200,000/week
Having completed a decade as a Real Madrid player, Marcelo recently signed a new contract which upped his wages from £80,000/week to £200,000/week. One of the seniormost players in the Madrid squad, Marcelo is also one of the best-paid defenders in world football.
Still only 29, the Brazilian full-back will be determined to add more success to his trophy-laden spell at Real Madrid.
