How do Jude Bellingham’s earnings compare to those of established stars in Spanish football? Jude Bellingham has perhaps been the only real marquee signing to join La Liga this summer.

Real Madrid paid €103 million for the 20-year-old England international, which makes up a sizable percentage of La Liga’s whole transfer market outlay this summer. In actuality, the Saudi Pro League has outspent Spain’s top division this summer.

Although Florentino Perez still seems to enjoy the occasional galactico deal, it appears that the days of signings like Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez, Gareth Bale, and Neymar every year are over as several of their major teams are having financial issues. Bellingham receives a salary from Real Madrid of little around €21 million per year, which places him slightly below current Los Blancos icon Luka Modric and on par with Barcelona attacker Robert Lewandowski in terms of money.

Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and to a lesser extent Atletico Madrid are in charge of hiring Spain’s highest-paid athletes. The only player from outside of La Liga’s “big three” to crack the top 25 is Inaki Williams of Athletic Bilbao.

Frenkie de Jong is by far the highest-paid player in La Liga, earning approximately €13 million (35%) more than any other player because to his enormous €37 million annual wage at Barcelona.

Getting high earners like Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Gerard Pique off the books has helped Barcelona make some efforts in recent years to reduce their bloated wage bill, but De Jong’s eye-watering salary still serves as a reminder of the careless spending when he first joined the team in 2019, signing his final contract extension in 2020.

Eight of the top 25 salaries in La Liga are represented in Xavi’s team, including newly acquired Ilkay Gundogan, who earns €18 million annually after leaving Manchester City on a free transfer.

Six of the top 25 earnings in La Liga are at Atletico Madrid, but the club’s third-highest earner Joao Felix, whose projected yearly salary is €14.5 million, is causing Diego Simeone some trouble.

If another team has agreed to pay the mysterious playmaker’s wages before the transfer window closes on September 1st, it wouldn’t be a surprise.Here is a detailed breakdown of the highest-paid players in La Liga.
