Barcelona first team squad — Barcelona have one of the highest wage bills in club football

#8 Ivan Rakitic (Central midfielder) - £130,000/week

Barcelona v Espanyol - Spanish Copa del Rey — Rakitic has been the unsung hero of Barcelona's glorious season so far

One of Barcelona's most consistent performers, Ivan Rakitic has been integral to Barcelona's dominance this season. Capable of picking out accurate through-balls and tracking back tirelessly, the Croatian has been the glue which holds the side together.

A midfielder who always gives his 100%, Rakitic certainly deserves the handsome weekly wages he earns at Barcelona.

#7 Andres Iniesta (Central Midfielder) - £165,000/week

A true Barcelona legend, club captain Andres Iniesta has rediscovered something close to his best form this season. Supremely skilled on the ball and always keeping things ticking, the 33-year-old Spanish superstar might be coming to the end of his long and glorious career, but he still remains one of the most important and integral members of this side.
