Top 10 Highest-Earners in La Liga

After years of holdup, La Liga holders Real Madrid have finally managed to secure the services of arguably the best player in the world, Kylian Mbappe. Fascinatingly, Los Blancos did not have to pay a single dime in transfer fees. The French superstar moved to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium as a free agent, having run down his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Since Real Madrid did not have to fork out a massive sum up-front, many expected Mbappe to be on the most lucrative contract in Europe. However, as per the data from Capology, not one but two Barcelona stars will make more than the 25-year-old in the 2024-25 season.
