For several years now, La Liga has chosen to be quite transparent regarding the economic management of Spanish clubs. In addition to diligent monitoring of expenses and strict control of the payroll, the Spanish League also publicly reveals certain figures. This Monday, La Liga also unveiled the sports team cost limit (SLCL) after the end of the winter transfer window, which represents the maximum amount that each club can spend on its squad. Among the highest, Real Madrid have a cap hit of €727m and do not need to get rid of any big players to balance their budget. This salary cap gives them the financial capacity to sign Mbappé and a big salary more if they want.
On the other hand, the situation is very different for Barça, which has a salary limit of 204 million euros, while at the start of the season, it amounted to 270 million euros. Joan Laporta and his teams must therefore reduce the payroll by around a hundred million to reach the figure announced by La Liga. Atlético de Madrid, second in the salary limits ranking, has a cap of 303 million, seven times more than at the start of the season. Another interesting figure: Girona, which is second in the Championship, only has a salary cap of €51.97 million. At the bottom of the table, Alavés is the club with the smallest margin with 31 million, followed by Las Palmas with 33.
