- Iker Romero, he signed for Barcelona in 2004 for € 1 mill for 3 years, so that´s a € 333.333 salary per season. He recently signed a new extension until 2012, l don´t know how much he will be making now, but around the same. Besides, Barcelona paid Ciudad Real around € 500.000 for his buyout, the highest in team handball, as far as l am concerned.

- Some rumours said that Ivano Balic (Portland San Antonio) & Siarhei Rutenka (Ciudad Real) make around or even over € 400.000 a year. They r probably the 2 best players in Asobal league, so that makes sense.

- Players such as Barrufet, Juanín García, Nagy (Barcelona), Metlicic, Stefansson (Ciudad Real) Kjelling (Portland San Antonio) earn between 200.000-250.000 per season.

- The best paid players in the modest Asobal teams, for example Petric (Almería) makes € 100.000, García Vega (Algeciras) around € 70.000, Milosavlevic (Teka Cantabria) around the same.

- In the other hand, there r players surviving with € 1.000 / month. Mostly junior players & ''homemade'' players.

- In the second league in Spain, there r players that get to make Asobal salaries, actually € 30.000-40.000 is a common amount of money for the best players in the league. However there r a few amateur players as well, mostly junior players that r also in college or studying.

- In the third league, u can also find ''professional'' players, although the salaries r not as high there r players making around € 2.000/month in the top teams, which is a pretty good salary in Spain. Most of the players r amateurs though or they just earn a very few for gas & food.

- Regarding coaches, Dujshebaev (Ciudad Real) & Equisoain (Portland San Antonio) r the only ones in Spain that make more than € 120.000. Xesco Espar (Barcelona) makes that much, & Cadenas (Ademar León, in Barcelona next season) & Julián Ruiz (Bidasoa) make around € 100.000.
