Zalgiris Kaunas GM Paulius Motiejunas criticized Real Madrid and Barcelona’s spending politics with losses for over €60M
Zalgiris Kaunas GM Paulius Motiejunas criticized Real Madrid and Barcelona’s spending politics.
The two Spanish powerhouses had losses for over €60M combined last season.
Per Basketnews, “We saw Maccabi’s budget yesterday. Capacity has increased significantly and there are several reasons. First of all, not many players arrived from the United States due to COVID-19. Moreover, the pool of basketball players with EuroLeague experience reduced and that raised the prices,” commented Zalgiris GM in a press conference about financial numbers.
“We see the losses of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. It’s going to lead us nowhere, we have to think about how to reduce spending,” Motiejunas continued.
“After that, we end up making harm to ourselves and raising prices. Capabilities have definitely increased and it’s getting harder and harder to get into the Top 8.”
