LaLiga reveals the updated salary limits of all First Division clubs

The cost limit of the Barcelona sports team was reduced after the January transfer market by 15 million euros, from the 671,429 million that had at the beginning of the season as a cap to 656,429 million after the month of January, as reported this Thursday LaLiga.

This decrease in the staff cost limit is due to operations that have “consumed their limit”, a situation that is “something normal”, as considered by the general director of LaLiga, José Guerra, during a meeting with the media to explain how the employer determines this limit.

“When comparing the figures of Barcelona, ​​there is a decrease, but other clubs have risen. It can happen for many things, since you have budgeted income that is not met, for example your participation in certain European or national competitions or the objectives that you had at the beginning not been fulfilled, “Guerra added.

LaLiga Santander clubs usually use an average of between 75% and 80% of their staff spending limit, and those that have increased their limit in January compared to September are Espanyol (17.6 million more), Getafe (7 , 51), Valencia (6.43), Celta de Vigo (6.2), Villarreal (4.8), Real Sociedad, Mallorca, Valladolid, Granada, Betis and Osasuna. In addition to Barcelona, ​​only Alavés has reduced its limit, by 0.4 million euros.

In the case of Espanyol, which has significantly increased its staff cost limit, Guerra explained that the 'perico' club has carried out operations that have led to this increase and pointed out that this is the information of the limit they have available “, not of what they have consumed in wages.
