Barcelona: Weekly wages and salary of first-team stars revealed

#2 Luis Suarez (Striker) - £290,000/week

Barcelona v Deportivo Alaves - La Liga — Luis Suarez has started rediscovering his best form

One of the most lethal strikers of this generation, it comes as no surprise that the Uruguayan sharpshooter is the second highest paid player in the Barcelona squad. Having started the season slowly, Suarez has slowly rediscovered his best form and has already scored 16 goals in 18 appearances.

Suarez is peaking at just the right time for Barcelona and Ernesto Valverde will be pleased with the performances of his 'number 9' since the start of 2018.

#1 Lionel Messi (Winger) - £500,000/week

Barcelona v Espanyol - Spanish Copa del Rey — Messi is arguably the greatest player of this generation

Was there ever any doubt as to who would head this list? Barcelona's talisman and undoubtedly one of the greatest players to ever play the game, Messi earns a monumental £500,000/week for his stunning performances week in and week out.

Having only taken his game to new heights this season, Messi certainly deserves every penny of his exorbitant salary.
