All that being said, let’s take a look at the weekly wages of top Real Madrid first team stars.
#17 Borja Mayoral, £10,000 per week
The 21-year-old made his Real Madrid debut when he was only 18. A promising young striker, Mayoral is a product of Real Madrid's youth academy. His opportunities were very limited so far as Real Madrid had a plethora of attacking talents. However, this could change after Ronaldo's departure and he may get his much-awaited chance to show what he is capable of.
#16 Dani Ceballos, £20,000 per week
The 22 year old former Spanish U21 international moved to Real Madrid in 2017 after some good seasons at Real Betis. The youngster has struggled to break into the Real Madrid team and has made only 12 La Liga appearances so far. With an abundance of options in the midfield, it will be once again tough for Ceballos to play regularly for Real Madrid this season.
#15 Alvaro Odriozola, £45,000 per week
The former Real Sociedad right-back is one of the most promising young defenders in world football at the moment. Real Madrid paid a huge sum of money for the talented 22-year-old. Alvaro Odriozola has played 35 LaLiga games for Real Sociedad last season and was one of their best players. He is expected to compete with the likes of Dani Carvajal for a place in the starting eleven.
#14 Lucas Vazquez, £60,000 per week
A Real Madrid academy graduate, Lucas Vasquez started his career with the Real Madrid C team. He was soon promoted to Real Madrid B and then to the senior team.

The 27-year-old has made only 38 LaLiga starts since 2015/16 and scored only 10 times.
#13 Nacho Fernandez, £70,000 per week
Another product of Real Madrid’s youth academy, Nacho Fernández has struggled for regular first team football a the Santiago Bernabeu. He has managed only 108 LaLiga games since his first-team debut in 2011. Though he played a lot more frequently under Zinedine Zidane, he was never a first choice defender in the team. The 28-year-old will once again find it difficult to play regularly this season.
#12 Keylor Navas, £85,000 per week
Keylor Navas is one of most underrated goalkeepers in world football. Despite his impressive performances and trophy haul, he wasn’t one of those popular figures at the Santiago Bernabeu. Navas has made 142 appearances for Real Madrid and won three UEFA Champions League titles. With the arrival of Thibaut Courtois from Chelsea, Navas’ place in the starting eleven is far from certain this season.
#11 Marco Asensio, £90,000 per week
The 22-year-old is one of Real Madrid's most talented young players and one of the best in Spanish football. Joined Real Madrid in 2014, the youngster soon became a star at the Santiago Bernabeu.

He could soon become one of the highest paid Real Madrid players.

A solid defender, Carvajal possesses every attribute that one wishes to see in a fullback. The 26-year-old has played 131 LaLiga games for Real Madrid and was a consistent performer for the Spanish giants.
#8 Isco, £120,000 per week
One of Spain’s best players in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Isco has been superb for Real Madrid since his debut in 2013. He has scored 17 goals and assisted 15 more in his last two LaLiga season for Real Madrid. The Playmaker has played 241 games for Real Madrid in all competitions and scored 41 times. A truly world-class player, Isco is known for his technical abilities, creativity, and passing.
#7 Raphael Varane, £140,000 per week

The Frenchman has played 141 LaLiga games for Real Madrid and has won every title in Spain. The 25-year-old has a long career ahead and if he stays at the club for few more years, he could become one of the greatest Real Madrid players of all-time.

Luka Modric has played 258 games for Real Madrid and won every title in Spanish football.
#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.

#1 Gareth Bale, £350,000 per week

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.
