Maccabi Tel Aviv's Budget Ranks 11th-16th in EuroLeague

Maccabi Tel Aviv's budget for the upcoming season has been set at approximately $32 million, according to club chairman Shimon Mizrahi. This figure, the highest in the club's history, translates to about 28 million euros, placing them in the middle tier of EuroLeague teams.

Mizrahi's announcement positions Maccabi Tel Aviv financially alongside Partizan Belgrade, whose president Ostoja Mijailovic stated their budget is also 28 million euros. Virtus Bologna's budget is confirmed at 25 million euros, while Crvena Zvezda's is around 20 million euros, similar to last season.

Notable budget shifts include ASVEL Villeurbanne, which initially planned for a 59 million euro budget but has scaled back to 24 million euros, potentially placing them at the bottom of the league. Besiktas, a new entrant to the EuroLeague, is reportedly aiming for a 30 million euro budget, which would place them above Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Estimates for other EuroLeague teams vary, with Panathinaikos's aggregate budget projected at around 60 million euros and Valencia's expected to exceed 35 million euros. These estimations are largely based on published player salaries, recent signings, and market trends.

Based on these figures and considering player salaries and taxation across Europe, Maccabi Tel Aviv's budget is estimated to rank between 11th and 16th place in the EuroLeague.
