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

Under his current contract, Rudiger earns about £236,449 ($305,568) on a weekly basis.

Meanwhile, his annual salary scales over £12 million ($15m), making him the highest-paid defender at the club after David Alaba.

Although Rudiger earns a substantial salary at Real Madrid, he fails to make it into the top five earners at the club.

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.

When it comes to the top five earners in the league, Barcelona's veteran striker Robert Lewandowski tops the list.

Meanwhile, three Real Madrid players in Mbappe, Alaba, and Bellingham also make the top five.

The only Atlético Madrid player to make the cut is Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

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
