Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas will be swimming in money if he makes the move to Barcelona. The Sunday Mirror says first there is his first pay packet, which will see him bank half his annual salary before he has even kicked a ball for the Spanish giants.
The 23-year-old midfielder, who is expected to earn about £160,000 a week at Barcelona, will immediately be paid £4,160,000.
This will not include image rights or bonuses, which are annually paid at the end of each campaign.
Fabregas will also receive £3,000 a month from the Spanish League, payable to every first team squad member in top-flight football.
He will receive the second instalment of his salary midway through the campaign.
