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

As it stands, Alaba earns about £356,659 ($455,608) per week playing for the Whites, while his annual salary exceeds £18 million ($23 million).

Alaba was the highest-paid player in the Real Madrid squad until Kylian Mbappé's arrival at the club ahead of the 2024-25 season.

As we have already seen, Mbappe and Alaba occupy the top spots on Real Madrid's wage bill, followed by Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Jr., who are on identical wages at third and fourth place.

Meanwhile, the dynamic Fede Valverde appears at number five as the fifth-highest earner in the squad.

It does perhaps come as somewhat of a surprise that Alaba is ahead of the likes of Bellingham and Vinícius in the salary pecking order at Real Madrid.

David Alaba is not only one of the top earners in the Real Madrid squad but also in the league, as he ranks third on the top-five list.

The top spot is occupied by Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski, followed by Kylian Mbappe.

Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid's shot-stopper Jan Oblak comes in at number four, with Jude Bellingham rounding off the list at number five

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.
