Change in Real Madrid’s salary hierarchy. Since his free arrival this summer from PSG, Kylian Mbappé (26 years old) was the highest paid player in the Madrid locker room. The French striker’s net annual salary would be around 15 million euros, or 1.25 million euros per month, according to estimates by the Spanish press.
Now ahead of Vinicius Jr.
But the captain of the France team would now be ahead of Vinicius Jr (24 years old). The Brazilian benefited from a significant salary increase thanks to The Best trophy, awarded by Fifa, and which rewards the best player of the year 2024. During the extension of his contract in 2022, the number 7 of the Merengue had took care to include a clause allowing him to benefit from an increase in the event of individual distinction, according to AS.
While his salary is estimated at 15 million euros per year on average over his five years of contract (2022-2027), he should receive around 20 million euros net over the next two seasons. And while waiting to begin possible discussions around an extension, his emoluments could further increase if he registers his name on the list of the Ballon d’Or, which went to the Spaniard Rodri this year, or the trophy The Best, or if he finishes at least on the podium of these two awards in 2025.
And he put all the chances on his side during the first part of the season with 13 goals scored and 9 assists in 20 matches in all competitions. Enough to still hope to hit a small jackpot.
