German magazine 'Sport Bild' revealed that Bayern Munich forks out some €203 million a year on the wages of its squad and coach, Pep Guardiola. Now it has come to light that the earnings at Real Madrid are almost as high.
According to a report in 'El Mundo Deportivo', Florentino Pérez spends not far from €200m on first-team salaries alone. Specifically, 23 senior players rake in €183.93m, while Carlo Ancelotti nets a cool €15.5m a year, making him by far and away the highest-paid coach in 'La Liga'. To put that figure into perspective, Barça manager Gerardo Martino and Atlético boss Diego Simeone pocket €5.4m and €2.5m respectively.
'Sport Bild' claims that only Manchester City and Chelsea, who are respectively bankrolled by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, pay out more in wages than Champions League holders Bayern, Real Madrid, Barça or PSG.
Naturally, the man who gets the biggest slice of Real's €200m pie is Cristiano Ronaldo. His latest contract extension, which runs until 2018, nets the Portuguese ace €17m a year after tax (€18.3m of his €35.3m wage goes to the taxman). The next highest earner is record signing Gareth Bale, whose €101m transfer fee also came with an €11m-a-season pay packet.
