Live broadcast on February 21 Serre Radio News, Barcelona's current salary expenditure is as high as 50.5 billion euros, second only to Paris in Europe at 5$2.9 billion, one of the reasons for this high expenditure is that the club still pays the salaries of some former players.
Barcelona are still paying the salaries of former players Messi, Alba, Sergio Busquets and Mirotic (basketball player, who terminated his contract with Barcelona in July last year) due to the deferred payment agreement signed by former president Bartomeu with the player in 2020.
Barça's salary cap fell further to 20.4 billion euros, which means that Barcelona's salary is now 300 million euros higher than the salary cap stipulated by La Liga.
Breach of the salary cap means that Barcelona cannot participate in the transfer market normally, and the club must comply with the "1 2" rule to register players. To put it simply, if the club wants to spend €10 million on the amortisation of a new signing's annual salary and transfer fee, the club will have to free up €20 million in salary space. If the club is unable to raise the 40 million euros owed by the German company on June 30, the player will have to be raised.
