European champions Barcelona will "fight" to stop the best players joining the Premier League, says the club's president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
The Premier League's new £5.1bn television deal will give English clubs huge financial power from the 2016-17 season.
But European champions Barcelona feel they can combat the threat.
"We are going to fight against the Premier League. We want to have the best players in our league," Bartomeu told BBC Sport.
"It's true that the Premier League right now is the best league competition in the world, not only in a sporting way but in terms of income too."
In recent years, the Premier League's top players, including Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez, have moved to La Liga with Spanish clubs keeping their top stars.
