It is no surprise that Real Madrid and Barcelona are among the top in Europe when it comes to the total wage accounts at each club. Los Blancos and Barcelona have changed place in terms of their expenses for wages last year.
Since the last phases of the presidency of Josep Maria Bartomeu in Barcelona, the wage account has been a problem and the term of office of Joan Laporta has been determined by trying to balance their wage account against their salary limit, while he remains competitive. In some years, their wage account overshadowed € 700 million and he was responsible for more than 70% of the club's turnover.
In recent years, however, Barcelona has succeeded in slowly reducing that number, although it has also been combined in recent years with tree and bust spending. Last season it was at € 476 million, according to Marca, who received their information from a UEFA report. In the meantime, Real Madrid spent € 29 million more, for € 505 million.
These figures were connected to a warning from the UEFA report, which note that some of the sides in the top divisions in La Liga spend too much of their turnover on wages. In Belgium and Turkey, wages account for 86% and 88% of sales expenditure, while in Greece the figure is an eye-watery 98%.
Four clubs reported during the 2023-24 campaign, including Paris Saint-Germain, which spend the most on the wages of everyone, Chelsea, Ajax and Olympique Lyon, including Paris Saint-Germain, including Paris Saint-Germain, including Paris Saint-Germain, including Paris Saint-Germain. On the other hand, Real Madrid was one of the eight clubs that reported an operational profit of more than € 50 million, alongside Manchester United and Arsenal.
Since these figures have been released, Dani Olmo, Pau Victor, Kylian Mbappe and Endrick Felipe have arrived in La Liga, with the salary of the Frenchman who will probably contribute to a significant increase next year. Barcelona hopes to reduce their total, but has distributed several new deals to Ronald Arajo, Pedri and Gavi.
