La Liga 2017: Barcelona player salaries
Barcelona are one of the best clubs in the world currently. They are the only football club ever to win the sextuple, a feat they achieved way back in 2009.
Meanwhile, the Catalan club’s players have won the most FIFA World Player of the Year awards and a record 11 Ballon d’Or awards.
The Blaugrana are the second richest club in the world with an estimated revenue of €620.2 million, behind only Premier League giants Manchester United whose revenue is around €689 million. The Spanish giants are also the third most valuable club in the world with an estimated net worth of €2.8 billion, according to a study conducted by KPMG.
The Catalans have the most expensive wage bill in the world while their Spanish rivals Real Madrid sit second on the list, according to a UEFA report of 2015.
