The Spanish league has significantly raised Barcelona’s spending limit for this season, but only after the Catalan club sold off part of its television rights for the next quarter century and other assets to balance its finances this summer.
Barcelona has been allowed to spend 656 million euros ($659 million) on players and staff for this season, including salaries, according to the spending limits for each club made public by the Spanish league on Friday. That is a massive jump after the club's spending limit had actually entered negative territory last winter.
