La Liga has announced the salary caps for the 2024-25 season, revealing significant changes across the league.
Real Madrid tops the chart with a limit of £651 million, an increase from last season’s £583 million. Barcelona, recovering from financial issues, sees a remarkable 57% rise, bringing their cap to £367 million from £232 million last year. Atletico Madrid follows with £267 million.
However, not all clubs are benefitting from these increases. Sevilla faces one of the tightest budgets, with a limit of just £2.2 million. Espanyol is similarly restricted, with a cap of less than £7.8 million. Both clubs were well above their limits last season.
