Rodrygo is a Brazilian forward who joined Real Madrid in 2019 after a €45 million transfer from Brasileirão team Santos FC. Rodrygo was only 18 years old at the time of the transfer, and it also turned out to be the year he made a debut for the senior Brazil football team. He plays across the front line, and has mainly featured for Real Madrid down the left flank or as a striker. His most notable performance in a Real Madrid shirt so far has been a double-goal salvo against Manchester City in the 2021-22 Champions League semi-final which helped Real Madrid draw level in the last two minutes and eventually beat Manchester City in extra time.
What is Rodrygo’s salary?
Rodrygo’s salary is €155,000 per week before taxes, a handsome lump of money for a player as young as him. Rodyrgo’s salary per year based on these numbers is €7,440,000 (7.4 million) per year. This puts him among the top 20 earners at the club, and in a similar Real Madrid salary band to more senior players like Nacho, Eder Militao, and Dani Ceballos.
Rodyrgo’s salary of €155,000 per week is part of a long-term contract at Real Madrid which is currently set to expire on June 30, 2025. However, given his recent performances in big games, particularly the one against Manchester City in the 2021-22 Champions League semi-final second leg, and his likelihood of being among Brazil’s front line over the next few years, he could very well be in contention for a bigger paycheck before the end of 2023, if not earlier.
Rodyrgo’s salary per week after taxes is believed to be around €80,000 per week at the moment, which makes his yearly salary close to €3,840,000 (3.8 million euros) per week.
