Original Nike football shirt FC Barcelona 2016/17

This article provides an overview of FC Barcelona in the 2016/17 season. The club from the Spanish city of the same name lost no less than 372 million euros in player salaries in the financial year 2016. This was evident from the annual UEFA report on the financial housekeeping in European club football. Salaries showed an increase of 8.6 percent across the board. That percentage was just below the increase in the turnover of the approximately 700 clubs, which totaled 18.5 billion euros, compared to 16.9 billion in 2015. In 1996 that amount was only 2.8 billion.
