After activating several economic levers, the Blaugranas have managed to attract many big names, from Robert Lewandowski to Jules Koundé via Raphinha. As La Liga have just published the wage bill limits for each club, Javier Tebas spoke about Barca’s situation: “Barça managed to register its players thanks to the palancas (levers, editor’s note).

It’s a small amount for Barca and doesn’t put their income or the viability of the club at risk. There is no risk of bankruptcy. »

Tebas: “Barca’s wage bill is still around 200 million higher than its wage limit under normal circumstances. The wage bill needs to be lowered.”
