The Austria international's agent Pini Zahavi received €5.2m as a commission fee, while Alaba's father George Alaba received €6.3m.

Alaba will earn €19.47m per season, with his contract expiring in 2026 and his release clause set at €850m. In the event he sees out his contract with Real Madrid, Alaba will earn €115m in total.

The 29-year-old has yet to make his Real Madrid debut, but he could do so in a friendly against AC Milan at the Worthersee Stadion on August 8.
