LaLiga made public this Friday the Staff Cost Limit (LCPD) or salary limit of each First and Second Division team, a balance in which it stands out that Barcelona, after the activation of the ‘levers’, has gone from having in March a negative limit of 144.353 million euros to a positive balance of 656.429 million, which has allowed him to face the signings and registrations made during the recent summer market.
Real Madrid continues to lead this table with 683.482 million, while Atlético de Madrid is in third place with 341.040 million, 59 million euros more than in the previous LaLiga estimate.
For its part, the club with the lowest Squad Cost Limit in LaLiga Santander is Elche with 42.672 million euros, surpassed by very little (42.724) by Girona.
The LCDP is the total amount that each club can spend on its squad, including both the ‘registrable’ and the ‘non-registrable’.
The ‘registrable’ includes spending on players, head coach, assistant coach and physical trainer of the first team; while the ‘non-registrable’ groups the expenditure in affiliates, academy and other sections, as stated by LaLiga in Article 38 of the Budget Preparation Regulations.
In addition, in the overall amount of the First Division there has been an increase of 34% compared to the measurement of the month of September 2021, exceeding three billion euros -3,052,069-.
This is not the case in LaLiga Smart Bank, where the evaluation decreases by 14%, standing at 210,866 compared to the same date of the previous season.
Within the competition, Granada distances itself as the club with the highest salary limit after reaching 29.126 million euros, behind Leganés with 19.522 and Eibar in third place with 13.21. Lugo is at the bottom of the table with only 4.277 million.
In addition, in its report, LaLiga chaired by Javier Tebas points out that economic activity has increased compared to the last two seasons, marked by the coronavirus pandemic, although this is still lower than the last market prior to Covid-19.
