Martin Braithwaite's move to Barcelona happened under extraordinary circumstances, as the striker was signed by the club in an emergency deal to fill in for the injured Ousmane Dembele. Braithwaite has looked good in flashes since arriving in February 2019 but has featured sparingly since the return of Luis Suarez.

The Danish international signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Catalans earlier this year and reportedly earns around £85,000-per-week.


#14 Arthur Melo | Midfielder | £85,000-per-week

Arthur Melo's Barcelona dream quickly turned sour. Having been dubbed as the heir to the legendary Xavi, the Brazilian arrived at the Camp Nou with the world at his feet. However, Arthur has agreed a deal in principle to join Juventus at the end of the season in a deal that will see Miralem Pjanic travel in the opposite direction.

The 23-year-old is on a modest contract of £85,000-per-week, as he gears up for his move to Turin.


#13 Marc-Andre ter Stegen | Goalkeeper | £90,000-per-week

Barcelona have played a blinder with Marc-Andre ter Stegen's contract. Hailed as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Ter Stegen takes home a measly £90,000-per-week and is amongst the lowest-earning first-team players at the club.

The German international has been one of the most consistent players at Barcelona in recent season and could be handed a new contract in the coming months, as his current deal looks set to expire in the summer of 2022.


#12 Jordi Alba | Defender | £150,000-per-week

Jordi Alba has been a regular feature of the first team since making a move from Valencia in 2012 and has made the left-back spot his own. Despite the arrival of Junior Firpo last summer, the Spaniard has not lost his place in the side and is still going strong despite being 31 years of age.

Alba is one of the senior players in the side and earns around £150,000-per-week at Barcelona.


#11 Arturo Vidal | Midfielder | £155,000-per-week

Signed as a stopgap solution to their midfielder woes after the sale of Paulinho, Arturo Vidal has done a fantastic job since joining from Bayern Munich in 2018. The Chilean midfielder has added some much-needed athleticism and tenacity the Catalan club and has served as a valuable squad player owing to his versatility.

Vidal's £155,000-per-week contract expires next summer and Barcelona could look to cash in on him in the coming months to avoid losing him for free.


#10 Sergi Roberto | Defender | £170,000-per-week

Sergi Roberto is one of the most versatile players in world football and is the dream squad player for any manager. Originally a central midfielder, the Spaniard can be deployed as a right-back and has also played the role of a winger when the Catalans were ravaged by injuries.

The La Masia graduate is one of the club's longest-serving players and earns around £170,000-per-week at his boyhood club.


#9 Samuel Umtiti | Defender | £210,000-per-week

Samuel Umtiti's Barcelona career has spiralled in the last 12 months. The Frenchman was hailed as one of the best defenders in his age group at the time and joined the club before the 2018 World Cup.

However, in recent seasons, he has struggled with injuries and inconsistency and has been pipped to a starting spot by Clement Lenglet. Nevertheless, Umtiti is on a bumper £210,000-per-week contract at the club, a deal that has not paid off so far for Barcelona.
