Among the numerous young talents at Real Madrid today, Endrick and Arda Güler are the most prominent. Considered the jewels of Florentino Pérez, who expects them to lead the team in the coming years, these two offensive stars receive special treatment. But how much do they earn in wages at the Madrid club?
One is 19 years old, and the other is 18. Having arrived in the Spanish capital in 2023 and 2024 respectively, Arda Güler and Endrick are firm favourites among Madrid fans. After excelling at their formative clubs (one in Turkey with Fenerbahçe and the other in Brazil with Palmeiras), both talents are highly anticipated at Real Madrid. Despite the currently crowded squad, they manage to earn a few minutes of playing time, especially Güler. Considered one of the best midfielders in the world for his age, the Turkish player slipped through Barcelona’s fingers—who pursued him insistently—to sign with Florentino Pérez’s club.
As for Endrick, despite strong interest from Premier League clubs, Real Madrid was his ultimate dream club. Signed in December 2022, he officially arrived in Spain last June at the age of 18. Like Güler, Endrick is enduring a challenging first season due to his very limited playing time under Carlo Ancelotti. Despite this, the young Brazilian forward eagerly awaits his moment of glory to rise to prominence. Almost as though following in Güler’s footsteps, the 18-year-old earns a significant salary but less than the Turkish player.
The salaries of Güler and Endrick at Real Madrid
Being older and having arrived amid intense competition, particularly between Spain’s two major rival clubs, Arda Güler receives a handsome salary of €14,000 per day, equivalent to €101,000 per week, €433,000 per month, and a total of €5.2 million per year. Globally, he is among the top three highest-paid players born in 2005. At Real Madrid, the Turkish international earns considerably more than players like Andriy Lunin and Jesús Vallejo.
Unsurprisingly, Arda Güler also earns more than young Endrick. Committed to Real Madrid for years, the Brazilian forward earns a salary comparable to that of a young player graduating from Real Madrid’s academy and becoming a professional. At just 18, Endrick takes home roughly €11,000 per day, €80,000 per week, €342,000 per month, and a total of €4.1 million per year. In Real Madrid’s current squad, the former Palmeiras prodigy earns far more than the underwhelming Jesús Vallejo (€1.8 million per year).
Significant salaries that will only increase
Worldwide, Endrick is the second-highest-paid player born in 2006. While their wages fall far behind those of Kylian Mbappé (the highest-paid player at Real Madrid with €31 million per year), Arda Güler and Endrick cannot complain about their status. In La Liga, both rising stars earn significantly more than half the players in the league. Over time, with improved performances, their salaries will undoubtedly rise sharply.
Under contract until 2029, Arda Güler is more likely to see his status change quickly due to his excellent performances and significant playing time in recent months. For Endrick, who is tied to the club until 2030, he will need to fight hard to earn Carlo Ancelotti’s trust, play more regularly, score goals, and become indispensable to secure a better salary under Florentino Pérez.
