Arda Guler salary: How much does Real Madrid star earn per week and annually in LaLiga?

After spending two seasons at Fenerbahce, Turkish sensation Arda Guler made his move to Real Madrid, a transfer that garnered significant attention as the then 18-year-old snubbed arch-rivals Barcelona to sign for Los Blancos.

However, things haven't quite worked out for him at the club so far, as he has had very limited opportunities to showcase himself and it has been tough for the Turkish youngster to secure a place in the starting XI.

Güler is also low on Real Madrid’s wage bill, mainly due to his young age. But exactly how much does he earn playing for the Whites?

    Top earners at Real Madrid

    Compared to the top earners at Real Madrid, Guler's salary numbers are relatively modest.

    The highest earner at Real Madrid is former PSG star Kylian Mbappe, followed by David Alaba, who is a somewhat surprising entrant in second place.

    Following the Austrian on the list are Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Jr., who earn identical wages, while Fede Valverde rounds off the list at number five.

    Highest paid players in the world

    Although it may seem like players in La Liga earn incredible wages, their salaries don't even come close when compared to the top earners worldwide.

    Currently, all the players in the top five highest earners globally play in the Saudi Pro League.

    Ranking first and second on the list are former Real Madrid attackers Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, respectively, while Riyad Mahrez takes the third spot. Finally, rounding off the top five are Senegalese internationals Sadio Mané and Kalidou Koulibaly
