Atletico Madrid's preseason is currently marred by rumours around the future of their star forward Julian Alvarez.
The Argentine is being pursued by Arsenal and Barcelona, with Hansi Flick keen to acquire the 26-year-old forward following the exit of veteran Robert Lewandowski.
Barca's sporting director Deco is reportedly pushing to get the deal across the finish line, but issues between the clubs are proving to be an impediment.
In the meantime, Atletico beefed up their roster. Morten Hjulmand joined Atletico from Sporting Lisbon on a five-year contract, with reports stating the deal for the Denmark midfielder is worth €40 million.
Also, South Korea midfielder Lee Kang-in joined Atletico following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain.
Atletico will be hoping to build on last season's progress where they were Copa del Rey finalists and reached the semi-finals of the Uefa Champions League. They finished fourth in La Liga.
As Atletico gear up for a new campaign, below is the list of their top earners. Data collected from capology.com, salaryleaks.com, transferfeed.com and media reports.
