Barcelona’s economic levers have paid off, with La Liga assigning a spending limit of €656 million 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.
La Liga’s new salary limits give Barcelona an €800 million boost

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.”
The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core CPU’s thermal & power characteristics at stock load are shown in a few eye-catching data points given by Videocardz. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X has a high 4.7 GHz base clock and a 5.3 GHz single-core boost frequency. It has six cores and twelve threads. The CPU’s 105W TDP (142W PPT) is significantly greater than its 65W predecessor, but again, you have to make that sacrifice to get quicker clock rates. 38 MB of cache, made up of 6 MB of L2, and 32 MB of L3, will be carried by the CPU.
The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X’s performance while CPB (Core Performance Boost) is activated and off has been compared by Videocardz. The technology, which is already present on current AM4 motherboards, merely disables the boosting mechanism. The processor will use less power and operate cooler because it won’t be operating at its intended frequency.
The performance tests were done on an X670E motherboard equipped with a dual-fan AIO kit, DDR5-6000 memory, and the most recent BIOS. In light of the fact that the reviews are only a few weeks away, one should anticipate that this is the final performance. In terms of performance, the chip achieves 14768 points in multi-core tests and 1920 points in single-core testing with CPB enabled at stock.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU scores 1681 in single-core tests and 13003 in multi-core tests with CPB deactivated.
It makes sense because the chip was observed operating at 4.7 GHz with CPB disabled and boosted to its 5.3-5.4 GHz boost profile with the algorithm enabled. This is a 14% improvement with CPB or the stock option enabled.
The difference in clock frequency is 16%. Unsurprisingly, the chip also delivered cooler operating temperatures at power ratings of 56C/60W with CPB off compared to standard operating temperatures of 92C/110W for the same chip.
This is a little less than the 142 or so Watts the CPU uses at its maximum package power, but the temps are still an issue, especially given that an AIO cooler of 240 or 280mm was utilized in this case.
If you’ve been keeping up with the latest in Europe, you might have heard of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Napoli’s new number 77 has been in fine form since making his debut for the club. And his most recent performance came against six-time Champions League winners Liverpool in Napoli’s 4-1 win over them.
The winger provided the assist for Giovanni Simeone’s debut Champions League goal, and terrorised the defense with his dazzling footwork. In five Serie A games, he has already scored four times and provided one assist.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – The Napoli youngster making waves in Europe
Napoli director Giuntoli: "Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was in our list since March 2020. We decided to invest on him and we've been faster than Real Sociedad, Roma and Juventus", tells @CorSport. ⭐️🇬🇪 #SerieA
Here is what Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli had to say about the Georgian: “The first time I watched Khvicha in action was during the lockdown. He was 19 but was already very good with the ball at his feet. I watched him with Rino Gattuso, and I remember we called Kaladze to find out more about this youngster.
“He was playing for Rubin Kazan, but they wanted €30m, so we immediately ended negotiations. We were chasing Victor Osimhen at the time, so we couldn’t spend that much, but he remained in my thoughts. When the war in Ukraine began, he returned to Georgia, to Dinamo Batumi, so we rushed there with a contract and signed him for €10m.
We were quicker than Roma, Juventus and Real Sociedad. He’s always been on our radar.”
For €10 million, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is proving to be an absolute steal. And if he keeps performing at his current level, he could truly live up to his nickname – Kvaradona.
From the sources, we came to know that the Tata Group may soon produce an iPhone in India. The Indian multinational conglomerate is negotiating to establish a joint venture for the manufacture of electronics with Apple’s Taiwanese supplier Wistron Corp.
Apple already assembles a few different iPhone models in India with the assistance of its suppliers, including the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone SE, iPhone 11, and a few others. These iPhone models are produced by the business in collaboration with Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron, three suppliers in India. According to recent reports, the largest Indian conglomerate, the Tata Group, will work with Wistron of Taiwan to produce iPhones in India.
Tata Group is, after all, just now considering domestic smartphone production. Currently, the company manufactures salt, automobiles, electric vehicles, and software in India. In the meantime, Croma, one of India’s top retail chains for consumer electronics goods, is owned by Tata subsidiary Infiniti Retail.
Tata and Wistron Partnership
If the two can come to an agreement, Tata would produce iPhones for the first time in India. Wistron and Tata have both refused to comment on the situation. Tata produces everything from salt to software, but this is the first time the business has expressed interest in producing smartphones locally.

The collaboration with Wistron, which has been producing iPhones in India since 2017, would provide the business with a much-needed boost in high-tech manufacturing and electronics.
According to reports, the Indian conglomerate is looking for Wistron’s experience in product development, supply chain management, and assembly. The cooperation between Tata and Wistron is currently being kept under wraps. According to the sources, Tata has two options: the firms may establish a new facility or Tata might purchase shares in Wistron’s India operations.
They might choose to carry out both. Once the continuing negotiations between the parties are over, the shareholding patterns and deal structure will be obvious. Wistron produces iPhones in India at its Karnataka factory. India-related operations for the organization have been experiencing losses.

A deal with a strong local partner like Tata will assist the business in overcoming its difficulties in India. Additionally, it might provide Wistron access to the market for electric cars. Many of the biggest names in electronics manufacturing are eager to get into the EV business.
Does Apple Know Anything about this?
According to the sources, whether Apple is informed of the discussions between Tata and Wistron is unknown at this time. It should be grateful for this new development given the company’s intention to diversify the manufacture of iPhones away from China. Apple has also sought to strengthen its Indian supplier network. However, producing iPhones is no easy task.

Furthermore, producing iPhones requires adhering to Apple’s strict deadlines and quality assurance. The majority of the time, iPhone manufacturing facilities operate under tight control. As far as we can tell, it hasn’t been simple for India’s labor to adapt to this. There have been two worker demonstrations since Foxconn and Wistron factories started producing the iPhone in this nation.
La Liga president Javier Tebas has come out and criticised the Premier League’s massive expenditure on player signings. The 20 English top flight clubs spent a total of £2.2 billion on recruitment. On the other hand, the Spanish league spent a total of £404 million.
To add to the contrasting figures, 13 of the top 20 spenders in Europe this summer are from the Premier League. Barcelona are the only club that is in the top ten, having signed Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie, Marcos Alonso and Hector Bellerin.
Premier League clubs spent £1.91 billion on transfers in the summer of 2022; Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga and Ligue 1 clubs combined for £1.98 billion between them, with more and more of Europe's top young prospects choosing to take the next step and move to England. pic.twitter.com/H25RasjYbH
And as a result of the overspending of the Premier League clubs, Tebas is ready to report them to UEFA for unsustainable spending and transfer inflation. It should be noted, though, that UEFA is already planning to impose spending restrictions on English clubs to be up to 70% of their revenue.
La Liga president Javier Tebas criticises Premier League for unsustainable spending
“Premier League revenues are 1.8 times more than LaLiga or Bundesliga, but this negative amount is 20 times more than the Spanish league that has very good financial control,” Tebas complained in a public presentation on LaLiga Squad Spending Limits.
La Liga president Javier Tebas is preparing a report for UEFA after criticising the Premier League for 'unsustainable spending' and for causing 'transfer inflation'.
“There were €277 million in capital increases in La Liga. €2.3 billion in the Premier League, which are contributions and loans provided. In the Championship, it was €1.3 billion.It would be normal if they signed twice as many players, but they have spent much more than that. This can only be possible if the owners get out their chequebooks, and these are different models.
“I know the Premier League has a model to limit losses to £108 million. Do we want unsustainable models? What happens if the owners stop spending the money? We could let the Sheikhs and big companies come in here to buy out clubs. PSG can get more gas whenever they need to buy more players or use a related business.
“The football industry has changed, and there is much more money. If there is no control, then we could endanger the industry itself.The two competitions that are the most sustainable are La Liga and the Bundesliga, and we have to really fight for sustainability.”
The Premier League generates much more revenue than La Liga, owing to its audience and TV distribution. They also have far richer owners than Spanish clubs. As a result, they can afford to spend more. But owing to the situations that La Liga finds itself in, it follows a far more sustainable and strict financial model that Tebas has ensured all clubs abide by.
Football Manager 2023 will be out on November 8th, according to SEGA. The game will be accessible on brand-new platforms like the PlayStation 5 and Apple Arcade, which is the biggest news of the year.

The A16 Bionic failed to outperform the A15 Bionic in multi-core results in the most recent benchmark leak, and the only thing that saved it was taking the lead in the single-core test run. Updated test results are now available, and Apple’s newest iPhone SoC performs as you might anticipate, gaining a significant lead over the quickest Android smartphone silicon.
Since both phones share the same chipset, the A15 Bionic, their single-core and multi-core ratings would have been equal, but that is not the case here. The new scores were given by ShrimpApplePro, however, we believe he made a mistake since he wrote “14 Plus VS iPhone 13 Pro Max” in his tweet.

The “iPhone15,2” belongs to the iPhone 14 Pro, which, as you are all aware, has the most recent A16 Bionic processor.
Someone in the Twitter thread provided vital information on the iPhone’s designation number. The single-core score is comparable to what the previous benchmark revealed, however, the multi-core performance has significantly improved in the most recent data. The A16 Bionic received a rating of 5,455, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max had a rating of 4,790.

Apple stressed power saving during the official launch of its newest SoC, but we already knew that performance enhancements were anticipated given that the most recent custom silicon is mass produced on TSMC’s 4nm design.
With the most recent results, the A16 Bionic not only easily defeats the A15 Bionic but also expands its lead and earns bragging rights in the leaderboards for smartphone SoC performance.

Newcastle United will soon announce the arrival of Loris Karius on a free transfer. The German left Liverpool at the end of his contract last season, and is staying in the Premier League on a short term deal.
The goalkeeper will be signed on a six-month deal by the Magpies as a back-up for Nick Pope. They will work together to decide if the contract will be renewed until the end of the season near the January transfer window.
Loris Karius to join Newcastle United
Loris Karius has signed the contract as new Newcastle player tonight. It’s done and sealed — he’s joining on a free transfer. 🚨⚪️⚫️ #NUFC
The injury in training to Karl Darlow was the primary motivation to sign Karius. Martin Dubravka left the club to sign for Manchester United as their new back-up goalkeeper. As a result, Eddie Howe’s side were left short-staffed in the goalkeeping department.
The arrival of Loris Karius on a short-term deal will help them deal with the injury to Darlow comfortably. The goalkeeper has not played in the Premier League since his high-profile errors in the Champions League final against Real Madrid in 2018.
He was loaned out to Besiktas and Union Berlin but has failed to tie down a starting place at any of the clubs. A new challenge awaits him now in Tyneside, although he probably won’t get as many minutes if first choice goalkeeper Nick Pope can stay fit.
Barcelona are preparing to sue Atletico Madrid over the way they are playing Antoine Griezmann. The Frenchman is on loan at the Wanda Metropolitano for the second year running, and there is an obligation to make his transfer permanent if he plays a certain number of minutes.
The clause agreed upon was that he must play over 50% of available minutes in the first season. He played for over 80% of the minutes available last year. However, Atletico believe that he must play 50% of minutes over two seasons for the obligation to kick in.
Barcelona to sue Atletico over Antoine Griezmann
Barcelona plan to file a lawsuit demanding Atletico Madrid pay them €40 million for Antoine Griezmann, sources have told ESPN. pic.twitter.com/TSBBY77FuJ
The striker has been brought on in all of the games from the 60th minute, and he has established himself as a supersub this season. His latest performance off the bench came against Porto, scoring the winner in the 11th minute of injury time.
Atletico’s strategy is in a bid to avoid paying €40 million to Barcelona to make the Frenchman’s transfer permanent. Barcelona are convinced that their interpretation of Antoine Griezmann’s buy clause is correct, and they are planning legal action. However, nothing has been communicated as of yet.
“It is what it is,” Griezmann told reporters after scoring the winner in Atletico’s Champions League game against Porto on Wednesday.
“It’s not in my hands. I want to [play] more, but I will give everything in the minutes I am given. I am happy to be here, the only thing I want is to give everything for this club, for Cholo [coach Diego Simeone] and the fans.”
