La Liga president Javier Tebas has warned Barcelona they won’t be able to use financial levers again next summer and must reduce their wage bill.
The Catalans famously used a series of levers last season, by selling off assets, to invest in the squad and bring in players such as Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde and Raphinha.
Tebas says there will be no repeat in 2023 and says the club must cut the wage bill further.
“If they go out of the Champions League, they will have less money coming in, but they will also stop paying bonuses.
