La Liga announced on February 20 that Barcelona's annual salary cap has been reduced by €66 million, from €270 million to €204 million.
Real Madrid holds the highest salary cap in the Spanish league at €727 million, while Atletico Madrid also surpasses Barcelona with a cap of €303 million.
According to ESPN sources, Barcelona's team expenses exceed €400 million, more than double La Liga's set limit. Failure to rectify the situation by summer could lead to player registration and acquisition issues for the club.
