Real Madrid Player Salaries Revealed for 2026

Real Madrid Player Salaries for 2026

No one at Real Madrid earns close to the staggering weekly wage of Kylian Mbappe. The club's squad boasts some of football’s top talents, and their paychecks reflect that reality.

Thanks to smart moves in recent transfer windows, Real Madrid has assembled a squad filled with stars like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe, and newcomer Yan Diomande. Few teams worldwide can match their quality, though that comes with a hefty payroll.

Vinicius signed a new six-year contract in August 2026, securing a massive salary at the Bernabeu. But he's not alone in earning big bucks. Below is a breakdown of the weekly wages for every first-team player.

Goalkeepers

It’s no surprise that Thibaut Courtois is the highest-paid goalkeeper, earning £246,236 each week. Since joining from Chelsea in 2018, he’s been Madrid’s undisputed number one except during injury spells. His backup, Andriy Lunin, makes £75,184 weekly and has stepped up admirably when called upon.
