7. Ousmane Dembele

Prime Ousmane Dembele is one of the best players the world has ever seen. The Frenchman has, however, struggled in La Liga due to injuries.

Pjanic wants to stay at Barcelona next season. The midfielder earns a dazzling 300,385 euros at Barca despite his struggles with the Catalans.

The Catalans offered Busquets a five-year contract in 2018 that earns him 423,077 euros per week in wages.
