La Liga have released their updated salary limits for the 2025-26 season, with Barcelona suffering a significant decrease in their salary limit. While Sevilla were one of the biggest risers, they remain in significant trouble.

Barcelona were one of the major risers after the January transfer window, following the €100m lease of VIP seats over a period of 30 years at the end of December. However after auditors Crowe decided to remove the deal from their accounts until the deal was considered validated in their eyes, this occurring in April, those funds have disappeared from the Barcelona salary limit. The Catalan giants are now down €112m from their January salary limit, representing a 24% decrease from €463m to €351m, perhaps explaining their more frugal spending.

All the same, they remain the second-highest salary limit in La Liga, €24m ahead of Atletico Madrid’s €327m. This figure is up €13m, but both remain at less than half of Real Madrid’s €761m, which has risen €6.1m. Barcelona’s salary limit is more than double that of the fourth-highest side in La Liga, Villarreal, who have a salary limit of €173.1m.
