INCREDIBLE: Salary 'injustices' in Barça's squad

It is not a secret for anybody that the FC Barcelona lives a total crisis, in the financial, institutional and sportive (although with light at the end of the tunnel) and that the club has big debts (to short and long term), as well as that the losses are worrisome and go increasing exercise after exercise. They have been too many marked years by the bad management, but is something that, a year and half after the exit of Josep María Bartomeu, has not improved a lot... Or the necessary.

One of the main 'causes' of this crisis and that the club spend, literally, all his income in the payment of the sportive staff, is that the mass salarial is too high. In this includes the gross wage of the players, but also his amortizaciones, payment of agents, among others points, that leave to the Barça with an economic health, if it wants , a lot worse that the one of the majority of clubs in Europe.

It is a reversible crisis? Yes, of this there are not doubts. But it will take time and necessary sacrifices. The first (or only) affected are the players, that came with millionaire agreements that do not justify, in the majority of the cases, the exert of the same in the field. Especially the one of the 'holy cows' or 'heavy weights'. It is true that, with the exit -forced- of Leo Messi or Antoine Griezmann, the mass salarial went down considerably (happened of more than 600 million euros to some 430 'kilos' in the beginning of the exercise 2021-2022) but follows without being sufficient. The Barça, even with this 'bajón', has one of the most expensive staff of all Europe.

It surprises that it was like this, considering that in the staff there is not a 'crack' of world-wide class as it was it Messi or even Griezmann. Or before Neymar, Suárez or all the stars that went through the changing room of the Barça. Nevertheless, they have remainedin l to staff players that yes have millionaire wages, in spite of his age, performance... They deserve it or no? It is the question of the million, but what himself is a reality is that in the Barcelona club earn less those that more contribute in the field.

The wages of the players are a mystery and never will know , for sure, how much embolsan by season (further of what has published Gerard Hammered for 'defend'), but there are some portals web that handle an idea and desvelan how much can earn the big stars. It is the case of 'Salary Sport'.

To continuation, review the one who would be the wage of the footballers of the first staff (and the canteranos that have 'colado' in this season) of elder to minor, expressed in gross millions (with taxes). They consider , also, wages before discounts or exits (cases of Coutinho or Umtiti):

Points to take in account

There are a lot of nuances in the moment to speak of wages, put the Barça (and rest of the clubs) include a lot of variables by aims (number of parties, trophies, etc) and is a mount that never it will know for sure, taking in account that, besides, in the Barcelona club accessed to a diferimiento of the payments in the beginning of the pandemia and later. Likewise, hay players that have premiums by 'fidelity' and all these factors, obviously, influence in any idea that can have on which is, in reality, the entry of the players by season (or in the agreement, completely).

What himself knows (and is a reality) is that there is an absolute disequilibrium in the staff regarding the wages. The main reason is that there are agreements that negotiated does some time, when the economic situation was more favourable, and now seem not having sense and leave to the Catalan entity in a more delicate position. It is something in what the Managerial Board of Joan Laporta has beenworking , standing out the cases of Gerard Hammered, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba or Samuel Umtiti.

In the case of the captains, the three accessed to a discount salarial during the summer that allowed the registration of the signings in this moment. The central was the one who more finished 'losing', while his two mates continue in the 'top' of the best paid. On the other hand, Samuel Umtiti has left to earn €15,864,160 by season (almost eight 'kilos' net) after his renewal. The central will happen to earn that mount, less the ten percent, in the years that remains him of agreement. Ingresará, of here to 2026, around 6 net millions. An abysmal difference (and necessary, besides).

What happens with the wage of Coutinho?

Before his exit with direction to the Aston Villa, in quality of loan, Philippe Coutinho had the highest wage of the plantillla of the FC Barcelona, with annual income of €22,921,600, a figure that, obviously, did not justify what showed in the field or what was able to contribute for the Barcelona group. With his cession to the English group, frees his square and the Barça saves a big part of his wage.

The Brazilian accessed to a discount of his wage, as it confirmed Xavi in press conference: "it Says a lot of Philippe that it want to have minutes. It has gone down the wage and is an exemplary professional", commented in his moment. Now, it will see reduced his income, but the Barça still will have to pay a percentage of the same. It has spoken that the Aston Villa will assume 60%, but does not know with clarity. In any case, 'Cou' follow generating 'costs' for the culés.

The case of Ansu or Pedri

It is necessary to review, also, the case of Ansu Fati (€4,162,080) and Pedri (€1,930,240), those who after his renewals (announced in October), began to earn much more. The midfield player saw improved his agreement, with an extension of his stay in the Camp Nou until 2026 and a wage of around three million euros, as you report them.

By his part, Ansu signed an agreement until the 2027 and will see a significant improvement of his annual income, a lot greater of the one of the of Tegueste, of agreement to the information that has handled . Andl canterano could brush the 8 or 10 million euros by season. A very upper figure to what earned up to now and that, as it begins to be effective from this season (like the one of Pedri).

The yielded, Luuk and Hill, and the 'case Wagué'

Another point to take in account is the situation of Luuk of Jong (€1,508,000) yielded from the Seville to the end of the season 2021-2022. It is the Andalusian club the one who pays his annual wage, although it play in the Camp Nou, of agreement to report them. By his part, Àlex Hill (€904,800) has left in loan to the Granada until 30 June and boasts that the Barça will pay a percentage of his index card.

Likewise, it is Moussa Wagué, the one who is in the final stretch of his recovery, after almost a year of drop, and understands that it will go out of the Barça. It does not have index card in the first team, peror yes a wage that rondaría the €536,848. The Barcelona picture would pay them, in spite of that is 'KO' from does time.

Disequilibrium in the staff and his wages

Finally, in the Barça there is a big disequilibrium between the income of the footballers and the contribution of the same on the terrain of game, in both senses. To put a practical example, always according to the data of 'Salary Sport', Clément Lenglet earns to the year €5,851,040 gross, and has played a total of 790 minutes delivered in 15 minutes. It is far to be indisputable headline, whereas a 'fixed' as it is it Ronald Araújo, wins at present €2,111,200 having it played practically everything...

It is the same case of Net, Sergi Roberto... Players that are ingresando an alarming quantity of money and that no it justican (by different reasons and in diverse situations). It will be necessary to see how much will offer the club to players like Araújo, Nico or Gavi (that they will go up to the first team), but for the moment, the disequilibrium and the 'injustices' reign in the Barcelona picture.
