News, Neymar,

FC Barcelona’s newest recruit, Neymar, will be the sixth best paid player at the club when the new season gets underway in August, according to a report on Saturday in Mundo Deportivo. The Brazilian will slot in just under Gerard Piqué in the pay scale, and in general will occupy the third tier in Barcelona’s compensation system along with Victor Valdés and Carles Puyol. Lionel Messi is the club’s highest wage earner [at 16 million euros annually], with the second tier occupied by Xavi, Iniesta, and Villa.
