7 players who cost Barcelona the most in terms of per minute played

#4 Jeremy Mathieu- €3,846/- per minute

It can be safe to say that the former Valencia man has been restricted to a bit-part role at the club ever since making the move to Camp Nou. 31 years of age when he was brought to the club, Mathieu was never expected to become a regular starter and was regarded as a squad player who would add to the depth of his side.

The French international has featured for 5200 minutes since his move from Valencia, making him one of the costliest players at the club in terms of € per minute on the pitch, including the side’s latest tie against Sporting De Gijon.

The ball-playing central defender adds to his side’s defensive muscle as well as the attacking threat of his side with his presence in the air. His current contract runs until the end of 2017-18 season and given Barcelona’s luck with injuries, Mathieu is destined to have a role to play at the club and would be critical to his side’s chances of winning silverware during his time at the club.
