'Exodus Of Spain Players Bad For La Liga'

[Folami David]

The exodus of top Spanish players from cash- strapped La Liga is a good thing for the national team but bad for the domestic league, according to Barcelona and Spain defender Gerard Pique.
.
Jesus Navas became the latest international to move abroad when he left Sevilla to join Spain teammate David Silva at Manchester City this month.
.
Nine members of the Spain squad contesting the Confederations Cup in Brazil now play outside their home country.
.
Heavyweights Real Madrid and Barcelona, the world's richest clubs by revenue, can afford the best players and dominate La Liga as a result. They have 13 Spanish internationals between them.
.
However, financially troubled clubs in the second rank like Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Sevilla have been forced to cash in on their prize assets, who are increasingly seeking a new challenge and better wages away from Spain.

Spanish players are still very good on the pitch as at now so their opponents should still be scared of them.
