Real Madrid wages: How much do Hazard, Benzema, Bale and co earn?
Real Madrid return to La Liga action against Eibar - but how much do the players earn? Express Sport takes a looks at Real Madrid's wage bill.
Eden Hazard is a good ‘all-rounder’ says football pundit
La Liga is back underway following the coronavirus-enforced hiatus as Real Madrid attempt to dethrone Barcelona. Los Blancos sit second in the table as the season resumes and have 11 games left to play.
One player Real will be hoping can play a vital role in the run-in is Eden Hazard.
After joining from Chelsea for an initial £89million last summer, the Belgian has struggled with form and injuries.
He has been limited to just 15 appearances in his debut season, scoring once and providing five assists.
However, former Real star Alvaro Arbeloa, who is now an academy coach at the club, says Hazard is fit and ready for the restart.

"I imagine that, with Marco [Asensio], there will have to be more care, giving him minutes little by little," Arbeloa said.
"You have to be more careful with him than with Eden, who has returned like an aeroplane.
"He is going to win us many games."
Hazard became the club's top earner when he signed a five-year contract at the Bernabeu last summer.

The former Chelsea star takes home a reported £550,000 per week.
Close behind on the list is Gareth Bale, who is said to be earning a weekly wage in the region of £500,000.
Bale has been linked with a move away from Real over the last few seasons but the Welshman's agent insists the player has no intentions of leaving Madrid.
Like Hazard, Luka Jovic arrived with high expectations following his move from Eintracht Frankfurt for an initial £58m last summer.
But the Serbian striker, who reportedly earns £360,000-a-week, has mustered just two goals in 24 appearances this term.
