In the heat of struggle to balance accounts and salaries to comply with the financial ‘Fair Play’ to be able to sign, the salaries of some Barcelona players have been revealed. Among those who charge the most, ranking led by Piqué, there are three of the players called to be key in the arrival of new reinforcements in this winter market: Coutinho, whose departure to Aston Villa was just announced this Friday, Umtiti and Dembélé
In the program OurOn the Catalan television channel Esport 3, the journalist Lluis Canut gave the list of the players of the Barça squad that enter the most annually. Gerard Piqué, Busquets and Jordi Alba, the three captains, are, according to Canut, those who earn the most. They are followed by Umtiti, whose departure is a priority for the Barça club, Ter Stegen, Coutinho, whose departure to Aston Villa has already been confirmed, and Dembélé, pending to know if he will renew.
Piqué is the best paid. Before deferring the salary, he had an annual record of 28 million euros gross. This summer he agreed to lower his salary, but according to Canut, he collected everything due to a loyalty bonus, a formula that rewards the player if the contract he has agreed upon ends. After Piqué, those who charge the most are Sergio Busquets (23 million) and Jordi Alba (20 million), Umtiti (20 million), Ter Stegen (14 million), Coutinho (16 million) and Dembélé and Sergi Roberto (12 million each) are the players who follow them.
These are the high salaries that remain after Barcelona lost Leo Messi, who earned 135 million euros gross, and Griezmann, who earned 21.
