Signing Kylian Mbappe may not be a problem for Real Madrid’s strong financial foundation, as they are still the Spanish club with the highest spending limit of up to 727 million euros for the season. next.
Each club in the Spanish National Championship has different spending limits based on factors such as revenue, expenses and debt. It is proportional to about 70% of the club’s revenue. The limits represent the maximum amount of money each club can spend on players, coaches, youth systems and other areas. Clubs that are overspending need to find ways to reduce costs or attract new investment sources, if they do not want to be punished by financial fairness rules.
Real Madrid once again has a brighter outlook than everyone else, with enough space to add Mbappe and even more bright rookies. The Santiago Bernabeu team has not made many blockbuster signings in recent seasons, so they can freely spend now if they want, within the spending limit of up to 727 million euros. Mbappe told Paris Saint-Germain last week that he will leave the French club at the end of the season, opening the door for another attempt by Madrid to sign the French super striker. Madrid had made every effort to sign the 25-year-old star in 2022, with one of the offers rejected by PSG said to be close to 200 million euros.
In complete contrast, Barcelona is still in a very gloomy financial situation, the Catalan club may even fall into a delicate situation when entering the next transfer period. According to the new figure, the limit with Barca even decreased to 204 million euros. If it is not possible to restructure finances again and find financial “leverages” like last season, the club will be at risk of not being able to register new players.
Atletico Madrid has the second highest spending limit at 303 million euros. Meanwhile, only 4 other clubs exceed 100 million including Sevilla 152 million, Real Sociedad 144 million, Villarreal 143 million and Athletic Bilbao 100 million… Alaves has the lowest spending limit of 31 million, after Las Palmas 33 million. While it is quite surprising that Girona, which is controlled by the Abu Dhabi-backed City Football Group network and is causing shock in La Liga this season, only has a ceiling of 52 million.
Girona is currently only 6 points behind top team Real Madrid on the La Liga rankings after 25 rounds.
