Lionel Messi’s contract, which ran out at the end of June, was worth just under £600,000-per-week.
Barcelona are still paying nine of their players over £200,000-per-week, which includes the likes of Umtiti, who hasn’t played over 20 games in each of the last three seasons.
Barcelona’s dire financial situation is a making of their own. Former Barcelona president Bartomeu didn’t manage the finances well. Now Barcelona are over €1 billion in debt and need to sell players to balance the books and renew the contract of their greatest ever player, Lionel Messi.
