Club salary limits published. For the Blaugrana a frightening contraction: now he is seventh, just ahead of Espanyol. The Blancos are growing and we leave room for new signings, according to Sevilla with 200 million

Other than Leo Messi. The economic situation of Barcelona has caused the share allocated to wages to collapse. In March, the Catalan club could have 347 million for their salaries, today that figure has been drastically reduced to 97 million euros. If Messi had still been at Camp Nou, he would have eaten the full amount, euros plus euros less.
THE BILLS
—
For years, La Liga twice a year, at the close of the two transfer sessions, has published the salary limits of the La Liga and Segunda teams, i.e. how much the clubs can spend on the salaries of the first team (25 players, technical staff and cantera) in relation to the forecast of revenues. According to the figures released today by La Liga, the 20 teams of the Spanish first division can spend 2155 million euros on their salaries, in March they were 65 more, 2224 million, and the figures had already been lowered in 2020 compared to 2019.
COLLAPSE BLAUGRANA
—
Just two years ago, Barcelona had a salary cap of 671.4 million, the reduction is incredible. The Catalans were the ones who could afford the highest salaries in La Liga because they were on the way to a billion in turnover, a wretched management with money thrown away in purchases and reckless salaries and the arrival of the pandemic led to the collapse. Today Barcelona are seventh in the salary cap ranking, just ahead of the newly promoted Espanyol who has 77 million available, only 20 less than their great city rival. The collapse of Valencia in three transfer sessions from 177 to 30 million is also impressive: the club managed by Peter Lim is last in the ranking of wages.
MADRID IN COUNTERTEND
—
The figures offered today by La Liga show only one club in contrast to the trend: Real Madrid. At the Casa Blanca for two years they did not make purchases, and the salaries were never ‘galactic’: well Madrid in March had 437 million available for salaries, today it is at 739. A figure that is not exploited and which obviously leaves space to buy one or two super-cracks. The first is Kylian Mbappé, who frees himself from PSG in June, the second is Erlinh Haaland.
SECOND SEVILLE
—
For the rest, Sevilla are on the rise, from 183 to 200, and Villarreal, from 140 to 159, while Atletico continue to contract, passing from 217 to 171 and leaving second place to Sevilla. There are many medium or small clubs that can afford to pay higher salaries, from Getafe to Osasuna, from Betis to Espanyol and so on.
This is the evolution of the salary cap of the top 4 Spanish teams of the last Liga in the last 2 years (figures in millions of euros, published in summer 2019, winter 2020, summer 2020, winter 2021, summer 2021).
Barcelona 671.4; 656.4; 382.7; 347; 97
Real Madrid 641; 641; 468.5; 473.3, 739
Atletico Madrid 348.5; 348.5; 252.7; 217.3, 171
Seville 185.1; 185.1; 185.8; 183.3, 200
