Barcelona gets salary cap help
February 18, 2025, 01:03 ET

Barcelona's financial situation continues to improve after Laliga confirmed its annual spending cap now exceeds €463 million (US$483.7 million), up nearly €40 million from the beginning of the season.

At the same time last year, Barcelona's limit has been cut to 204 million euros.

The club's economic situation is the rise of the club's economy after Spotify Camp Nou sold 475 VIP seats, which the camp is still redeveloped for up to 30 years, selling to two different investors from the Middle East for 30 years. Sources told ESPN that the total value of the two transactions is about 100 million euros.

Barcelona's hat remains Laliga's second highest, with a distance of €755 million from Real Madrid, just like it did earlier this season.

Madrid St. (314 million euros), Real Sociedad (160 million euros) and Villarreal (135 million euros) finished the top five, while Sevilla's financial problems have caused their cap to be lowered from already 2.5 million euros, the lowest is the lowest, the lowest. In the league.

The limit roughly depends on the difference between the team's revenue minus the non-sports spending and repayment.

The final figure shows that the maximum amount of the club should be spent on salary, bonuses and amortization payments for a season, not how much they have to spend.

Like Sevilla, clubs that exceed their spending limits are subject to serious financial constraints in the transfer market, which will only make them a small part of what they spend.

Meanwhile, as Laliga confirmed in January, Barça is now within its limits and is able to spend 100% savings or raising something called the 1:1 rule.

However, there are still elements of uncertainty regarding the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor.

Laliga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) said Barcelona missed the December 31 deadline to prove they meet their spending caps, claiming that the VIP seating transaction was completed only after it was completed.

As a result, Olmo and Victor are not registered, and RFEF regulations do not allow players to register for a second time in the same season, even if the club has the ability to carry out financial burdens.

Barcelona won a ban on Laliga and an RFEF ruling against the Spanish Ministry of Sports, Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD), which agreed to investigate its appeal, which could take up to three months.

Laliga then objected to the CSD decision, but Olmo and Víctor were still available to choose.
