FC Barcelona Players have had an interesting 2017 summer transfer window where they lost their prized asset Neymar Jr to Paris Saint Germain who paid full €222 million (£198m) release clause and snatched Neymar away from Barcelona. Now the Catalunya giants have the money but they are finding it very difficult to replace Neymar as we head towards the end of transfer window. We breakdown the entire Barcelona squad, players contracts and salaries going into the 2017-18 season.
2017-18 Contracts & Transfers: FC Barcelona generated record $688 million in yearly revenue according to last business cycle and in the process they overtook Real Madrid as the most valuable team in the world only behind Manchester United.
