Barcelona are one of the biggest sporting institutions in the world, thanks to their on-field achievements. However, in the past decade, they have been hit by wave after wave of financial cyclones, which has handicapped them from spending with the same freedom with which the other top clubs operate in the transfer market.
The start of 2025, in particular, has been nightmarish for the Catalans, given that they are racing against time to complete the registration of big-money signing Dani Olmo for the second half of the season.
Such has been the fiscal decline that president Joan Laporta has been forced to activate several economic levers and sell off other assets to restore funds and meet the league's budgetary requirements ever since he replaced Josep . Since the start of the decade, salary reductions have been implemented to prevent the wage bill from spiraling out of control. Despite these efforts, however, the club still carries some high-earning players on its payroll.
So, who is the highest earner at Barcelona this season? And who is on the opposite end of the spectrum?
