Real Madrid will be hoping to come out of a slump in form when the new season begins this month.

Real Madrid, currently experiencing a downturn in form, is eager to bounce back this season.

Manager Jose Mourinho, returning for a second stint, faces the challenge of turning around the team's fortunes as instability continues. Central to this uncertainty is the future of star forward Vinicius Jr, with rumors circulating that he is targeting a substantial salary increase.
Reports suggest Vinicius is aiming for a contract worth around €30 million, significantly higher than his current earnings of €480,000 per week at Real Madrid. Arsenal, keen on acquiring the Brazilian talent, appears willing to meet Vinicius' demands with substantial financial commitment. Comparatively, English Premier League star Erling Haaland of Manchester City leads the league in earnings, with a weekly salary of £525,000. Even if Vinicius remains at Madrid, he will continue to be one of the highest earners in football.
The top ten earners at Real Madrid for the 2026/27 season include Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Ibrahima Konate, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Rodrygo, Bernardo Silva, Thibaut Courtois, and Eder Militao, each earning over €300,000 per week. Other notable salaries include Antonio Rudiger, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Marc Cucurella, all earning around €240,000 per week.
