Stop giving fat paychecks to crap players like Turan, Alcacer and others and go easy on the legends wage like Masche or Iniesta. They have to understand that as they get old the wage needs to low. If not good riddance.
The only player i allow "crazy" wage is Messi because he "is" the team...
Although Barcelona's wage bill is not €588M. Barcelona's wage bill + amortization is projected to be €588M.
For the people who don't study economics: This means that Barcelona's yearly wage bill + the transfer sums divided by contract length are €588M. This means when Dembele cost €150M and has a 5 year contract, he will go into the calculation with €30M + his yearly wage.
This is highly misleading, since the wage bill + amortization of clubs like Man United and Man City is probably going to be in the same region.
