The Real Madrid squad is set for a huge bonus as a reward of €203 million is up for grabs for the trophy

Real Madrid must slay two German giants to secure another Champions League title, and if glory on the pitch wasn't motivation enough, the jewels certainly will be. With just two games to win in Europe, the Real Madrid squad will earn up to €1.4 million in bonuses (before tax) per squad member if they succeed.

Brand say that the prize for the players has increased by €500,000 from 2022, when they secured a double of Liga and Champions League, although they also collected the Spanish Supercup this season. With 23 members of the team, the bonus could increase by €32m in total for Champions League gloria, which would be at a similar level to now, although it is not clear if the coaching staff will be included, which could take the figure closer to 40 million euros.

Los Blancos have already secured 53 million euros for their triumph in La Liga, but victory in the Champions League would mean total income from TV money and a prize of around 150 million euros for the club, putting the its total above the mark of 200 million euros. This figure, the income from the Champions League, has also increased by around 16 million euros from 2022.

While they seem like great bonuses for players, clearly, Real Madrid I'm still making a profit with what I can. It is the kind of money that could be spent on the salary of Kylian Mbappe, for example, with the Frenchman currently costing Paris Saint-Germain when he signed his most recent agreement with the club.
