#6 Ivan Rakitic- €2,427/- per minute
The Croatian International and the former Sevilla man arrived at Barcelona at the end of 2013-14 season, having put in a glorious performance for his club during his last season and picked it up where he left off at his previous home. He has become one of the mainstays of the Barcelona midfield and when fit, he has the ability to dictate the tempo of the game and put in match winning performances.
The €18 million that Barcelona were believed to have shelled out for him, make him one of the sweetest buys by the club in recent times as he has added to the attacking threat of his side as well as ensuring that they remain combative in the middle of the park.
He has featured for over 7,400 minutes since making the switch to the Catalan club and has cost his club €2,427/- per minute. However, given his performances, we are sure the club would have made a high return on investment and should be looking to tie him down for at least another 2 years. As of now, his contract is due to expire at the end of the 2018-19 season.
