The new Blaugrana wage structure

FC Barcelona heads into the 2026-27 season with one of the highest salary structures in La Liga. The recent revelation of the wages provides a deep dive into the dressing room hierarchies and perfectly reflects the heavy weight of the biggest stars within the sporting project.

This highly anticipated financial list also highlights a clear commitment to the present and future of the institution. While the club makes massive economic efforts to maintain the contracts of established stars, the young talents who have already cemented themselves in the elite are beginning to occupy privileged positions.

With these numbers on the table, the wage bill of Hansi Flick's squad demonstrates an effort to balance the budget. The gross annual figures draw a very clear dividing line between the franchise players and the rest of the first-team elements.

A multi-million tie for first place

At the very top of the wage scale, there is a surprising tie. Newly arrived Rodri, firmly established as one of the best midfielders in the world, shares the number one spot on the payroll with the academy's ultimate jewel: Lamine Yamal.

Both footballers are listed with an annual gross salary of €31.25 million. This shared summit highlights how the team equally values the arrival of an established 'Galactico' signing and the premature explosion of a homegrown generational talent.

The massive financial gap on the podium

To find the next step on the list of the club's top earners, one must observe a drastic drop in the figures. Brazilian forward Raphinha occupies the third overall spot with a contract worth €20.84 million gross, marking an enormous difference compared to the leaders.

The squad's top five is completed by two old-guard mainstays. French defender Jules Kounde receives an income of €19.55 million, while Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong secures €18.02 million per season.

Closing out the prestigious top ten

The second half of the ranking features diverse profiles that sustain the Blaugrana tactical setup. Canary Islands native Pedri positions himself in sixth place overall with €16 million, followed very closely by explosive German attacker Karim Adeyemi with €15.63 million.

The list is rounded out by Englishman Anthony Gordon (€15 million), playmaker Dani Olmo (€14 million), and the relentless Gavi (€11.73 million).
