10 highest-paid Barca players if club applies 50 per cent pay cut

Barcelona's reported plan is to decrease the salaries of most first-team players by half.

Here is what the list of Barca's highest-paid players would look like this way - and if they register the new signings.

1. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - ±€9,000,000*

2. Franck Kessie - €6,500,000 (based on rumours)

3. Andreas Christensen - €6,000,000 (based on rumours)

4. Sergio Busquets - €5,280,000

5. Jordi Alba - €5,000,000

6. Frenkie de Jong - €3,840,000

7. Ansu Fati - €2,750,000

8. Memphis Depay - €2,500,000

8. Gerard Pique - €2,500,000

10. Pedri - €2,250,000

Aubameyang's salary could surprise you - especially given he makes just €1,200,000 per year right now - but there were plenty of reports saying his wage would significantly increase starting from 2022/23, largely due to the fact that he joined the club by taking a huge pay cut.

If Barcelona sign Robert Lewandowski, Kalidou Koulibaly and Cesar Azpilicueta, they will likely be in the top 10, with the Pole potentially becoming the team's highest-paid player.
