Real Madrid has been the best club in the world due to the titles it has been winning in recent years and the excellent game it imposes on its rivals. Recently, they were crowned champions of the UEFA Super Cup with one of Karim Benzema's goals. However, the data shows that the 'Gato' is not the highest-paid player despite his outstanding numbers with the club.
Year after year, Real Madrid has been responsible for making extraordinary signings and paying eye-catching salaries to all its players. In fact, from the current squad, there are more than 10 players who have millionaire salaries, and upon reviewing it, we can notice that Karim Benzema is not among the top 5.
Above Karim Benzema, Real Madrid's second all-time leading scorer, are Antonio Rudiger, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, David Alaba, and Eden Hazard. It is precisely the Belgian who stands out the most because his economic earnings are not proportional to what he has provided on the field of play.
Now, Benzema is also not within the top 5 highest-paid players at Real Madrid, as he ranks sixth with an annual earnings of 8.28 million euros, far from the 9 million euros of the German Rudiger.
