Real Madrid salary cap- Real Madrid’s spending limit for this 2021-22 season is almost eight times higher (650 million euros) than Barcelona’s, La Liga announced on Wednesday.
The Spanish Football League, which has its own financial controls in place, allows teams to spend a certain amount on new players, signings, salaries, coaching staff and their academies when it comes to income and losses – with almost all parties affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Such a small limit helps explain the club’s decisions to allow Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann to leave at the end of the season, as well as their recent need to get senior players to agree to pay cuts.
Real’s figure is so high due to careful financial management, as well as profit from player sales and over budgeting from previous seasons.

Real Madrid salary cap- Their base budget was 428million, to which they added from their own fund reserves a further 292million – which would have allowed them to sign Paris St Germain striker Kylian Mbappe for a sum of 200million euros while remaining within league spending limits. .
Neither Barca nor Madrid, as well as Athletic Bilbao, have agreed to an injection of funds from private equity firm CVC via La Liga in return for a percentage of their future broadcast rights.
Barca’s drop means they only have the seventh top-flight payroll allowed, behind Real, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao.
Elsewhere, the league’s lowest budget is Valencia’s, 30million, with Los Che hit hard by the pandemic and the league’s poor performance resulting in a lack of European football.
