FC Barcelona Salaries 2026/27

Defensive midfielder Rodri's €30.0M salary is almost identical to the combined wages of all three goalkeepers (€12.6M) and all three center-backs (€18.0M) on the roster, which totals €30.6M.

19-year-old Lamine Yamal's salary of €16.7M is nearly double the combined €8.5M salary of the five other teenagers on the squad (Pau Cubarsí, Xavi Espart, Marc Bernal, Hamza Abdel Karim, and Jesse Bisiwu).

Each of the club's three highest-paid wingers—Anthony Gordon (€18.0M), Lamine Yamal (€16.7M), and Raphinha (€16.7M)—individually earns more than the two rostered center forwards, Gabriel Jesus and Hamza Abdel Karim, whose salaries combine to €14.3M.

Goalkeeper Joan García's salary of €6.3M is exactly equal to the combined salaries of the other two goalkeepers on the roster, Dominik Livaković (€3.3M) and Wojciech Szczęsny (€3.0M).

The two highest-paid midfielders, Rodri (€30.0M) and Frenkie de Jong (€19.0M), have a combined salary of €49.0M. This amount is almost identical to the entire wage bill for all eight defenders on the roster, which totals €49.8M.

There is a significant wage imbalance between the full-back positions. The combined salary of the three right-backs, Jules Koundé (€15.6M), João Cancelo (€11.4M), and Xavi Espart (€1.5M), is €28.5M. This is over eight times the combined salary of the two left-backs, Alejandro Balde (€1.7M) and Gerard Martín (€1.6M), which totals just €3.3M.

The squad's salaries are grouped into four clear tiers. The Elite Tier (over €15M) includes stars like Rodri, Frenkie de Jong, Anthony Gordon, Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Jules Koundé. The Star Tier (€10M-€15M) features key players such as Gabriel Jesus, Pedri, Dani Olmo, Karim Adeyemi, and João Cancelo. A Core Tier (€6M-€10M) contains established players like Gavi, Eric García, Fermín López, Joan García, and Andreas Christensen. The Prospect Tier (under €6M) includes all remaining players.

The highest-paid player in the attack is left-winger Anthony Gordon, whose salary is €18.0M per year.

The highest-paid player in the defense is right-back Jules Koundé, whose salary is €15.6M per year.

Defensive midfielder Rodri is the highest-paid player at the club, with an annual salary of €30.0M. He is also the top earner in midfield.
