“Madrid was prepared to register Mbappé”

José Guerra, corporate general director of LaLiga, explained and interpreted several of the salary limits of the First and Second clubs. In them, it is appreciated how Madrid is the Spanish team that can allocate more money to pay salaries (739 million), seven times more than Barcelona. Eibar is the team that can spend the most in the Second Division.

Lowering the Barcelona limit: “It is the result of the excess of the previous season. He recognizes losses in 2020-21 higher than expected. If you add to the limit that has losses, you would have the normal salary cap. About 500 million euros. It has 700 million budget and can only allocate 90 to the salary limit because balance and sustainability must be maintained. Of those 700, there are about 487 destined to compensate the losses of previous seasons. Due to the impact derived from COVID, the excess will not be penalized. excess will influence the staff limit for next season and will have to continue to use only 25% of the income to sign “.

Atlético's top: “Last season they had an excess of limit. Those who depend on ticketing are the ones who suffered the most from COVID and this is the case of Atlético. And they had an excess for that reason and this season has had to be compensated. If it will clean as it returns the normality of the income and the stadiums are opened to 100%, the activity of the museums … It is still somewhat affected. They must first allocate their liquidity to sustain their financial stability rather than to transfers “.

Coaches removal: “If you have exceeded the limit and you dismiss a coach, you have 4% to sign a new coaching staff. It is very important because the first income of the club will go to apply that used 4%. As for if you unilaterally dismiss a body technically it is counted towards the salary limit. If it is judicialized, we do not allow the club to take an advantage. If there was an agreement, it would count for this season and not for the next. “

Real Madrid: “The financial management that Real Madrid has made during the pandemic has been excellent. If we add the results obtained in 19-20 and 20-21, the benefit was one million euros. They have managed to balance expenses and income so as not to have Losses. It has been an exemplary economic management with the focus on fixing a short-term situation to have strength in the medium and long term. In 18-19 and earlier they were already increasing their own funds significantly and without ever exhausting their salary limit . It notably exceeds the good ratios. Madrid had never made use of that salary capacity, but now they have had it available in case they had opportunities in the market. “

Mbappe: “Madrid would not have had any problems, they were prepared to sign him up. If he does not use his full limit this season, he will be able to use it in future campaigns or for those players to arrive.”

Messi: “Barça had resources to keep Leo. I think that the decision was not based only on financial terms but that other types of decisions have weighed.”

Clubs exceeded: “In principle, the excess situation is much lower than last season. In LaLiga Smartbank we had less than five exceeded clubs at the beginning of the season and now I think they are all in a regular situation. In LaLiga Santander, those who depended on the use of the stadium, they have had a greater impact. We will be in less than 40% of clubs exceeded. We are not in the situation of 20-21. I think we will achieve, if they let 100% of the fans enter the stadiums , a balanced situation and without losses in the majority of the clubs at the end of the season “.

Economic control: “All clubs have it internalized. It is a self-regulation of the clubs. They are the ones who have to approve the limitations of this standard in order to seek sustainability in the medium and long term. They have it internalized and they fulfill it. “

Sevilla and Betis: “Both clubs have exemplary behavior with respect to economic control. In general, the situation they have is one of absolute compliance.”

Valencia: “Part of the economic control is to manage the debts. We take into account the more than 400 million euros that it has in debts. It affects its economic control. The qualification for Valencia is very similar to that of Madrid, they have done an excellent management , but you have to see how COVID affected them. Just when they left Europe, they had the stadium closed and the market dried up, which has prevented them from adjusting their limit. Valencia was hit by COVID like the perfect storm. The stadium was a very great source of income for the club. The transfer market was another great source and it has dried up. The ceiling is so low due to the excess of last season and now they have to absorb it. They have done a very good management But it is a situation in which three factors impact negatively and it is a perfect storm. “

I raised: “COVID came when they were investing in a significant way in their stadium. It has had an impact on the treasury. What they could not finish adjusting in the 2020-21 season impacts them in this one.”

Clubs close to sanction: “There is no club that for non-compliance of excess is close to sanction. There are clubs that we need to analyze to see the losses they have had and see if it is justified by the COVID impact.”

CVC: “Only recognized within this template cost limit”
