All La Liga Salaries for the 2024-2025 Season. Frenkie de Jong (Central Midfield) earns €37,500,000 (or €721,154/week) and is first among the highest paid players in La Liga.

10. Thibaut Courtois – €288,462

Courtois, one of six Real Madrid players here, left Chelsea for Los Blancos in the summer of 2018 and has since won it all with Madrid.
 
The Belgium international was out for most of the 2023–24 season with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Still, he made a triumphant comeback to the field to preserve a shutout in the Champions League final victory against Borussia Dortmund.
 
His current salary is €15 million per year or €288,462 per week, and his deal with Madrid has two more years to go.

9. Federico Valverde – €320,577

Valverde has gone from being one of Madrid's unsung heroes to one of the club's highest-paid players.
 
In 2023, the midfielder turned down a transfer to Saudi Arabia in favour of a new long-term deal at the Bernabeu that increased his weekly salary to €320,577.
 
8. Ilkay Gundogan – €360,577
 
On a free transfer to Barcelona, Gundogan left Manchester City after helping them achieve a historic triple in 2022–23.
 
The German international's weekly salary increased significantly from €162,075 at Etihad to €360,577 at Camp Nou after he signed a first two-year deal and received a substantial salary boost.
 
Despite a solid 2023–24 campaign (five goals and fourteen assists), he was let down by Barcelona's trophy drought.

7= Jan Oblak – €400,577

After leaving Benfica for Atletico Madrid in 2014 for €16 million, Oblak quickly became one of the world's top goalkeepers.
 
In 2020–21, the 31-year-old was named La Liga Player of the Season and La Liga Zamora Trophy winner, and he was an integral part of their championship-winning team.
 
He earns €160,192 more per week than Antoine Griezmann and has a contract worth €400,577 weekly, making him the highest-paid player at Atletico.
 
In addition to being a Slovenian international, the second-highest-paid goalkeeper in the world is Manuel Neuer of Bayern Munich.
 
At Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak prepares for the La Liga championship match against Real Madrid on December 12, 2021.

6= Vinicius Junior – €400,577

Vinicius became one of the most expensive adolescents of all time when Madrid bought him in 2018 after activating the €45 million release clause in his contract with Flamengo.
 
He has subsequently evolved into one of the world's top players by winning three La Liga championships, two Champions Leagues, two FIFA World Club Cups, a UEFA Super Cup, and a Copa del Rey.
 
With a basic wage of € 400,577 per week, the Brazil international inked a new long-term deal with Madrid in October 2023.
 
His weekly salary may reach £480,769 thanks to various performance-based incentives in his contract.

5= Jude Bellingham – €400,577

After agreeing to pay Borussia Dortmund €103 million on front and an additional €30 million in incentives, Real Madrid won the summer transfer battle for Bellingham.
 
Madrid not only paid a hefty sum for the deal, but they are also paying him a basic wage of €400,577 every week.
 
His base wage is €80,192 per week plus any extras he may get, which puts him on par with his Madrid teammate Vinicius Junior.
 
In the 2023–24 season, the England international proved that his earnings were justified with 23 goals and 13 assists across all competitions.

4. David Alaba – €432,692

After declining many contract extensions, Alaba finally parted ways with Bayern Munich in 2021, ending a 13-year connection. He departed the club on a free transfer.
 
Real Madrid signed him to a five-year deal after Liverpool, Manchester City, PSG, Inter Milan, and Juventus courted him.
 
The defender was reputedly worth €17.7 million when he signed with Madrid and is currently earning €432,692 each week; yet, the club did not have to pay a transfer price.
 
The Austrian is third in terms of salary among active defenders, after Aymeric Laporte of France and Kalidou Koulibaly of the Saudi Pro League.

3. Kylian Mbappe – €600,962

After the 2023–24 season, Mbappe finally transferred to Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain.
 
The 25-year-old's pay has dropped substantially from €1.38 million to €600,962 a week in Madrid.
 
According to reports, however, he'll pocket €150 million in signing incentives spread across his five-year contract, with an extra €1.24 million each week up for grabs.
 
The France international could earn an incredible €95.83 million per year if he activates all of the incentives in his Madrid deal.

2. Robert Lewandowski – €640,962

In the summer of 2022, Lewandowski left Bayern Munich after eight years for Barcelona in a transaction that might approach €50 million, seeking a fresh challenge.
 
Although his contract was structured to enhance his compensation annually, he earned € 400,577 per week in his first season in Spain.
 
In 2023–24, the 35-year-old striker earned €520,769 per week; in 2024–25, that number will increase to €640,962.
 
Spanish media outlets have reported that Barcelona will meet with his agents to renegotiate the conditions that have already been agreed upon.

1. Frenkie de Jong – €721,154

De Jong is the highest-paid player in Europe's top five divisions, earning an eye-watering basic pay of € 721,154 per week at Barcelona.
 
The international player from the Netherlands has sought to clarify the issue surrounding his salary, which has led to speculation that he may earn an extra €388,654 a week in add-ons.
