Top earners at Barcelona
Robert Lewandowski and De Jong acquire the top spots in the wage bill.
They are followed by a surprise entrant at number three in Ansu Fati. The youngster had a promising start to his career at Barca, however, it has only spiralled downhill since then.
Meanwhile, making an appearance in fourth place is former Sevilla defender Jules Koundé, who has been highly impressive in recent times.
Finally, rounding off the list at number five is Brazilian winger Raphinha.
