Javier Tebas: The palancas won't work next season
La Liga's president warned Barcelona they will have to make pay cuts
La Liga president Javier Tebas was present at a gala on Friday night and spoke about Barcelona, among other topics, when asked by reporters.
“If they go out of the Champions League, they will lose income but also stop paying bonuses, thus, saving money. It won’t vary much this season.”
However, he warned that Barcelona would have to reduce their salary levels for next season.
“The palancas worked for this year, they said it themselves, but for next season they can’t do it again, they have to reduce their salary.
“They can’t go on with 600 million euros of salary, they have to go down to 400 or a little more, like Real Madrid and other big European clubs.
“If not, next year they will be back on the 1:4 ratio.”
That means for every 4 euros of income they receive, they can spend only 1.
