Barcelona went shopping last summer, paying around €50m each to Bayern Munich, Leeds and Sevilla for Lewandowski, Raphinha and Jules Kounde respectively.

They also bolstered the squad with free transfers, with Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie, Marcos Alonso and Hector Bellerin all arriving for nothing - at least in terms of transfer fees.

The Blaugrana were up to €1.35 billion in debt when they lost Lionel Messi on a free transfer to PSG last summer, but they were able to spend last summer through the activation of 'financial levers' - the sale of a percentage of future revenues in return for liquid capital now.

They have also been working hard to offload players, with Antoine Griezmann, Philippe Coutinho and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang among those sold last year. They were followed by Memphis Depay and Bellerin in the January transfer window.

Some of the clubs captains like Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto also agreed to a reduction in salary, while Gerard Pique retired with the club owing him millions - which he isn't chasing them for - in November.

That freed up some cash to attract some of the aforementioned players. How do they rank among their new teammates?

How much does every Barcelona player earn?

Lewandowski makes a packet, but the highest-paid player at the club remains Frenkie de Jong, whom Barca were desperate to offload to Manchester United in the summer window.

Ousmane Dembele was out of contract in the summer and although he took a hit to re-sign, he still takes home a healthy amount.

Ansu Fati and Pedri have all recently signed deals which include €1 billion release clauses, and they are beginning to catch up with the top earners in terms of pay, but the same deal for Gavi couldn't be registered with Barca still struggling with crippling debts.
