Real Madrid defender’s salary revealed

Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio’s new salary has been revealed, comparing his improved deal to some of the top earners at the club and in La Liga.

The name Raul Asencio turned into a bit of a household name at Rea Madrid after turning out as a revelation for Carlo Ancelotti’s side in the current campaign when the youth player took his chance, replacing the injured Éder Militão in the 30th minute during the game against Osasuna on November 9, 2024.

Since his introduction, the young defender has established himself as a reliable option at the centre-back position following several injuries in defence for Los Blancos.

Asencio is highly rated for his technical abilities along with his leadership qualities, despite his young age – one of the best to come through the Castilla ranks in many years.

The 22-year-old also earned a call-up to the Spanish national team after impressing with the reigning La Liga and Champions League winner.

The Spain international signed a new contract with the club following his breakthrough campaign, keeping him at the Bernabeu until 2029, along with a significant pay raise.

Per Capology research into how much the youngster earns after signing a new improved deal, it was revealed that the “steel defender” earns about €115,748 per week playing for the Spanish giants, while his annual salary scales up to €6m.

Despite this, Asencio remains one of the lowest-paid players in the squad.

However, performing at the highest level could potentially take his wages to the next level – given his young age, it won’t take long before the youngster rises through the ranks.

Asencio comes no where close to the Madrid top-earners chart, even after signing what is to be a lucrative deal for the rising star.

Acquiring the top spot in the Real Madrid wage bill is French forward Kylian Mbappe, with David Alaba surprisingly following in second place.

Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr. take the third and fourth spots with identical wages, while Federico Valverde rounds off the list at fifth.
