La Liga: Highest Paid Teams in 2018-19

#8 Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad have some of the most exciting talents in the league in Theo Hernandez, Adnan Januzaj and Diego Llorente

Real Sociedad currently sit at 8th in our rankings, with the average Sociedad player earning an estimated $1,956,738 per annum. They currently sit at 8th in the league standings, having earned 19 points after 13 outings, and have been defensively resilient so far this season. Theo Hernandez is looking a lot more like his old self since being loaned out from Real Madrid, and he and Diego Llorente are becoming more and more pivotal to the club everytime they step on the pitch.

#7 Villareal CF

Villareal are languishing in the league this year, sitting at 16th with just 14 points this year.

Villareal has one of the more talented squads in Spain, which is all the more concerning as they currently sit just 3 points away from the relegation zone, with just 14 points earned after 13 league games played. The average pay for a Villareal player is $2,198.386 per annum. With that kind of an outlay on wages, the club and it's fans are entitled to expect more from their players, who've been abysmal more often than not this season.

#6 Athletic Bilbao

The Bilbao players really need to sort their issues out, as the team currently runs the risk of being relegated.

Athletic Bilbao has one of the biggest wage budgets in the league, as their players earn an average of $2,319,440 per annum. This massive outlay has so far been the biggest shock of the season so far, as the players taking in these wages have only been able to accumulate a measly 11 points in the league this year, winning just once in13 games, seating them at 18th, just 4 points above from the foot of the table.

#5 Sevilla FC

Sevilla FC possess one of the best squads in Spain, and it shows, as they are the current League leaders

Sevilla have an average wage of $3,653,267 per player, making them one of the most financially solid clubs in the World. They have won games against Real Madrid, Vigo etc, this year, playing some expansive end to end football. They sit top of the league with 26 points after 13 league games, and loan signing Andre Silva has been in red-hot form this year, level with Lionel Messi in the race for the Pichichi.
