La Liga adjusts salary limitations for clubs to spend more on transfers
La Liga clubs can spend a little more thanks to a regulation change.
La Liga.<p>
La Liga is set to relax spending restrictions this summer in an effort to inject more activity into the transfer market in Spain. </p>
<p>
According to Marca, clubs that have exceeded their salary limit will now be allowed to utilise 50% of the money saved or earned from cuts or sales, an increase from the previous 40%. This percentage will further rise to 60% if the player accounts for 5% of the total squad cost. </p>
<p>
Barcelona, Real Betis, and Almeria have all faced challenges in the market due to the salary limit restrictions, which mandate that the total squad cost cannot surpass 70% of the club's income. </p>
<p>
The revised policy grants clubs greater flexibility by increasing the spending limit calculated from transfer savings and earnings to 60%. </p>
<p>
However, clubs like Betis are currently operating within their salary limit and thus cannot spend significantly unless substantial savings are made. </p>
<p>
The impact of the new policy is expected to be limited for high-profile cases like Barcelona, as noted by Luis Rojo of Marca. </p>
<p>
While the policy aims to prevent clubs from overspending and potentially facing financial instability, it has faced criticism for preventing cash-rich clubs like Betis and Almeria from making necessary investments. </p>
<p>
The adjustments seek to strike a balance between financial prudence and fostering a more active transfer market in La Liga. </p>
