La Liga: Highest Paid Teams in 2018-19

#12 CD Leganes

The squad of Leganes is filled with loan talents such as Andriy Lunin from Real Madrid, and other youth squad players.

Leganes currently sit at 17th in the league standings, just 2 points above the relegation spots with 13. The average pay per player is $1,093,631 PA. The club has some of the most intense fans who stand by their side no matter what the result and fans of the club carry with them giant tifos for road games, with a smiling cucumber that reads what can best be translated as "Fear the Cucumber". The minnows defeated defending champions Barcelona at home this year already, in what is widely considered the best game in the club's history.

#11 RCD Espanyol

Espanyol currently occupy 5th place in the table, a point above Real Madrid and 5 points from the summit.

The average pay for an Espanyol player is $1,584,781.

#10 Real Betis

Betis currently sit at a worrying 14th on the league table and look far from their form last year when they qualified for the Europa League.

Real Betis players earn an average of $1,696,851 per annum, which places them at 10th in our standings. Betis has been in worrying form as of late, but do lead their Europa League table with 8 points, but have only been able to get to 14th in the league this year, accumulating only 16 points, although they did defeat Barcelona at the Camp Nou with 4 goals to three.

#9 Celta Vigo

Celta Vigo currently sits at a lowly 15th in the league standings, which is a worrying sign.

Celta Vigo has been extremely porous at the back, conceding 22 goals, whilst scoring 23. They are one of the most attractive teams in the Spanish top flight but their expansive style leaves them wanting at the back. The average pay for a Celta Vigo player is $1,697,155 per annum. They currently sit at 15th in the league standings, having just 14 points in their 13 games, winning 3 times.
