Barcelona have overtaken rivals
Real Madrid, in having the largest wage budget in La Liga, according to data
released on Tuesday.
According to the numbers from the
Spanish league, the money available for Barca’s bills are up to €507million or
£448million.
Their main title rivals, Real,
meanwhile have a cap on overall salaries that comes in at €199m or £442m.
This is the first time since the
introduction of centralised TV rights in Spain, that Barca can outspend the
Bernabeu side.
The data comes from strict La
Liga measures, which is set to prevent clubs from overspending on wages. The
caps, which are made public each season in September, are linked to the total
income of each club and covers the wages of players and coaching staff.
In each of the last two seasons,
Real have had the bigger budgets. In 2016/2017, Zinedine Zidane’s team had a
cap of €419m (£370m), compared to Barca’s €390m (£345m). In 2015/2016, Real
could spend up to €431m (£381m), with the Catalan giants on €421m (£372m).
