From 727 million for Madrid to 204 for Barca
League announced salary limits after the winter fair. As expected, real Madrid, with 727 million, is far ahead of the rest. He Barcelonawith the sports team spending limit of 204 million (LCPD), continues to be exceeded because, as Javier Tebas admitted in a recent interviewthe salary mass of your staff is equal to something over 400 million. The Barça team went from a cap of 648 million in the last winter market to 270 in the last summer market once the leverage wore off.
Barcelona are not even second, as they were once again overtaken by Barcelona. Sportswhich increased from the 296 million it had after the summer market to 303. The Barça team will have to go through very difficult times when returning next summer to rule 1/1, unless you make a big sale and raise Libero money. It wouldn’t be at all strange if they were again governed by the 50% rule, meaning they could only spend one euro for every two saved, like all clubs that overshoot.
The club he runs Laporta You will have work ahead, because to begin with Vitor Roque And Inigo Martinez They are only registered until next June 30th. So the club will not only want to make room for new players, but also make room in the salary cap for those already signed, such as the Brazilian striker or the Spanish centre-back.
The other side of the coin is Real Madrid. “I don’t know Mbappe’s price, but Madrid’s economic situation is exceptional. This is a very healthy team, they survived the COVID crisis very well, they have a lot of reserves… I could sign Mbappe and one more“. The words of Javier Tebas in an interview with Fabrizio Romano just twelve days ago. The currently known cost limits for the Deporitva squad agree with the La Liga president. It seems that the economy will not be a problem in order to sign the French star. .

What does LCPD include?
The spending limit for a sports team includes expenses for the players, first coach, second coach and physical trainer of the first team (the so-called registered squad), as well as expenses for subsidiaries, quarry and other sections (non-registered squad).
Concepts that are included in the cost limit for registered and unregistered athletic personnel include: fixed and variable salaries, social security, group bonuses, acquisition costs (including commissions for agents) and depreciation (the amount of a player’s purchase, calculated annually based on the number of years of the player’s contract). Clubs do not have to spend the entire limit.
How is LCDP calculated?
To calculate the spending limit for a sports team, the budgetary income of each club is taken into account (income from subscriptions, box office receipts, commercial contracts, television rights, player transfers, forecast of where they will arrive in the Champions League…). deducted from budgeted non-athletic expenses (office rent, non-athletic staff salaries, electricity, internet…), payment of any debts you have and losses you carried over from the previous season. The result of this operation is the sports team spending limit, that is, what a club can spend on its team.
The club can also increase the salary limit when increasing capital (only in the case of SAD). Of this increase, only 80%, 65% or 50% can be allocated to transfers, depending on the financial situation of each club, and a maximum of 25% of turnover can be increased. In addition, you will not be able to get this money in one go, but over four seasons in LaLiga Santander and two in LaLiga Smartbank.
