Over the last few years, Barcelona<\/a> have done incredibly well to improve their financial situation, which had once looked very precarious. They are not yet back to normal, although things are looking as good as they have been for the best part of a decade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The good work done by Joan Laporta and his board of directors, especially sporting director Deco, cannot be overstated. As recent as the 2021-22 season, Barcelona were in a huge deficit for their salary cap, and while this made signing new players incredibly difficult, they have managed to drastically improve the squad, while also fixing the finances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n La Liga<\/a> have now released the new salary caps for all 20 clubs in the top division, and it has served to underline the turnaround in Barcelona\u2019s situation over the last few years. As per MD<\/a>, the Catalans\u2019 new limit is \u20ac582m, which is an increase of \u20ac150m from the \u20ac432m that the club had at their disposal during the 2025-26 campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Upon the new salary limits being revealed, La Liga president Javier Tebas explained why Barcelona\u2019s cap has increased.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI often read that Barcelona has I don\u2019t know how many millions of debt. The important thing is also the income and the ability you have to pay the debt.\u00a0We have to look at that situation well. Barcelona is with a billion in revenue. They have the capacity to pay and to improve conditions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The increase in Barcelona\u2019s salary limit has coincided with their return to La Liga\u2019s 1:1 rule in the summer, which allowed them to sign the likes of Anthony Gordon, Rodri and Joao Cancelo with relative ease. They also tried to bring in Julian Alvarez, and while they failed, they have the necessary space to make another attempt in 2027<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
