Barca Player Wages discussion

I know I may sound like I am contradicting myself in the Yaya Toure thread but I am just a little shocked that earns lower than some of the names mentioned.

yaya earns less because when Barça bought him he was not making a lot at Monaco and bringing him to Barça was a risk for us and a big deal for him so he accepted very little.

Hi Barcaforum. I found a stat of our player's wages and I thought we can have a discussion as to how its spread across the entire team

Below is a list of Barcelona’s player wages as of September 2012. The figure shown is a weekly wage before tax.

Lionel Messi - £225,000
Daniel Alves - £200,000
Xavi - £165,000
Víctor Valdés £140,000
Alex Song - £120,000
David Villa - £120,000
Carles Puyol - £120,000
Andrés Iniesta - £115,000
Javier Mascherano £110,000
Gerard Piqué - £100,000
Cesc Fàbregas - £94,000
Jordi Alba - £87,000
Alexis Sánchez - £87,000
Pedro £87,000
Eric Abidal - £84,000
Adriano - £50,000
Thiago - £38,000
Ibrahim Afellay - £37,500
José Manuel Pinto - £33,500
Sergio Busquets - £33,500
Keirrison - £21,000
Isaac Cuenca - £15,750
Cristian Tello - £15,000
Martín Montoya - £14,000

I found it to be a topic to discuss considering few players are very much underpaid for their importance in the team?

I doubt the authenticity of this.

From what I have gathered, Messi is our highest earner followed by Villa. Iniesta and Xavi are on the same wage bracket.

That doesnt seem right. I saw an infographic on md or sport once, it was nothing like this. Xavi, Villa, Pique and Iniesta get more than Alves.

I wish people stopped using English pounds as a reference. Next, someone will use ruble or yen.

In Europe, Euro is a standard currency.

Btw. Something fishy about that list. I don't think Song makes more that Iniesta.

I think this list has gotten the wages right, but mixed up who gets the wages if you get what I mean.

We had a same thread btw. Merged now.

I think Barca player wages structure (per annum) looks something like this. At least it did so in May.

Messi - 10,5 million euros
Xavi - 7,5
Iniesta, Villa, Alves - 7
Valdes, Fabregas - 6
Pique, Puyol Busquets - 5

Don't know about the exact figures, but just to provide context. I think this is legit.

I heard Busquets and Iniesta will be offered contract renewals and pay-rises shortly. IIRC their contracts expire in 2015.
