[Barcelona’s](https://technosports.co.in/?p=352196&preview=true) economic levers have paid off, with La Liga assigning a [spending limit of €656 million](https://twitter.com/Lets_Barca/status/1568300644326318081?s=20&t=g4aNu84BpWmm9KyZuRV9jg) to the side for the 2022/23 season. Their previous limit was set at -€144 million, and an increase of almost €800 million is in place for the club. 

They are only exceeded by Real Madrid in terms of the highest spending limits in the Spanish league. As a result, the club are now in a position to renegotiate previous contracts with players that had taken pay cuts and clear off their debts.

The Catalonian side sold 25% of their television rights for the next 25 years, and a 49% share of Barca Studios. They also outsourced their merchandising as part of the levers activated, which have led to the massive boost. 

“Barcelona’s limit is [up to] €656m and they needed this amount, that’s why they were registering players at the last minute,” LaLiga president Javier Tebas said.

“Without the [sale of assets] it may not be so high next season. They may have to reduce their outgoings by around €200m by selling players or even [selling more] assets.

“I think [Barca’s vice president Eduard] Romeu has said they need it to be at around €400 and something million. But they know all about this, it will be difficult for them to maintain [the new limit] next season.”
