FC Barcelona has faced significant financial challenges in recent years, forcing the club to make desperate decisions, such as selling VIP boxes at their stadium. However, the players certainly aren’t going hungry, as salaries remain high at the Spanish powerhouse. One player, in particular, earns almost double the salary of the second-highest-paid member of the squad.

FC Barcelona’s rising star, the young Lamine Yamal, sits at the lower end of the top 20 highest-paid players. However, it’s likely only a matter of time before Barcelona rewards him with a contract that places him among the club’s top earners.

FC Barcelona pays Clément Lenglet €2,000,000 annually, but for now, Aston Villa covers that expense, as the French defender is currently on loan at the Premier League club.
It wasn’t long after Wojciech Szczesny hung up his gloves and bid farewell to football that Barcelona came calling. A serious injury to Marc-André ter Stegen left the club searching for a free and affordable goalkeeper. Fortunately for them, Szczesny said yes and now earns €3,000,000 annually.
