His contract also expires in 2028.
7 Nicolas Gonzalez €144,231 per week
Nicolas Gonzalez is on loan at Atletico Madrid for the 2025/26 season from Italian giants Juventus, although the Spanish side will have the option to make a move permanent at the end of the campaign.
For now, Atletico will pay the winger €7.5m for the season in wages.
6 Alex Baena €160,192 per week
Joining in the summer of 2025 in a deal worth around around €50m from Villarreal was Alex Baena.
Capable of playing on either wing or as an attacking midfielder, Baena signed a five-year deal at the Metropolitano.

Also on €8.33m per season is versatile midfielder Marcos Llorente, who moved to the club from rivals Real Madrid in 2019.

2 Julian Alvarez €240,385 per week
Atletico splashed the cash in 2024 to sign forward Julian Alvarez from Manchester City, who sold the World Cup winner for a club-record fee.
