Joao Felix's Barcelona salary has increased by 900 per cent, LaLiga has confirmed.

Barcelona registered Felix, on loan from Atletico Madrid, on a salary of just £344,440 in the summer in order to register him, with the club struggling financially.

Felix described a move to Barcelona as his 'dream' and was loaned out by Atletico Madrid after being frozen out by Diego Simeone, even training with the academy for some of pre-season.

LaLiga president Javier Tebas confirmed that they had 'multiplied the remuneration agreed between Joao and FCB by 10, for Fair Play purposes'.
