Original Nike FC Barcelona 2016/17 pre-match football shirt

The club from the Spanish city of the same name lost no less than 372 million euros in player salaries in the 2016 financial year. This was evident from UEFA's annual report on the financial management of European club football. Salaries showed an 8.6 percent increase across the board. That percentage was just below the increase in the turnover of the approximately seven hundred clubs, which amounted to a total of 18.5 billion euros, compared to 16.9 billion in 2015. In 1996, that amount was only 2.8 billion.
