• Barcelona currently has one of the highest salary wages in Europe as the Catalan club spends over £4m on players’ wages weekly
• Despite the well-documented financial troubles that the Camp Nou club has been hit with, it hasn’t stopped them from splashing the cash on players
• Barcelona has spent a total of £140 million on new players this summer despite their debt rising to €1.173 billion

According to Sport Bible, New signing Robert Lewandowski is ranked fourth with a wage of £302,208 per week, while veterans Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets are amongst the top 5 earners.
