The Barcelona salary ranking holds a surprise at the top: Who earns the same as Rodri?
The ranking of the highest salaries in the blaugrana squad reveals a particular coincidence at the very top and a significant gap starting from third place.
The list of the highest-paid players at Barcelona has a tie at the top. Rodri shares first place with a teammate who is still building his career.
It is Lamine Yamal . Both are listed with an annual gross salary of €31.25 million.
A shared summit that says a lot about the new Barça
FC Barcelona heads into the 2026-27 season with one of the highest wage structures in LaLiga. The distribution of salaries offers a better understanding of the dressing room hierarchy and, at the same time, reflects the importance of its main stars within the project.
The list also reveals a clear commitment to the present and the future. While the club maintains significant contracts for its stars, several young players who have already established themselves among the elite are beginning to occupy privileged positions on the salary scale.
The name that shares first place
Lamine Yamal appears alongside Rodri at the top of the rankings. The forward earned that spot after becoming one of Barcelona's central pieces, despite his young age.
The figure becomes even more interesting when both players' careers are taken into account. Rodri arrived at Barcelona with an established track record at the elite level, while Yamal continues to make progress at a pace that is unusual for a player of his age.
The gap begins in third place
You have to go down to third place to find a different salary. Raphinha appears there with €20.84 million gross per year, well below the €31.25 million at the top.
Koundé, with €19.55 million, and Frenkie de Jong , with €18.02 million, round out the top five.
Pedri occupies sixth place with €16 million, followed by Karim Adeyemi, with €15.63 million. Anthony Gordon appears with €15 million, while Dani Olmo and Gavi round out the top 10 with €14 million and €11.73 million, respectively.
The ranking ends up leaving a particular snapshot of Barcelona : a footballer who arrived as an established star and one of the youngest talents in world football appear on the same salary tier.
