La Liga have announced their salary limits for the 2024-25 season, updating the amount of money that clubs can spend without La Liga imposing further spending limits on clubs. Barcelona are naturally the headline act, with a salary limit that is 156m above what they started last season. It is important to note that the limits only denote what the clubs are allowed to spend before restrictions on what they can spend and register in terms of players.
There are a total of nine clubs over their salary limit between La Liga and Segunda, including Sevilla and Espanyol. Los Nervionenses have a limit of just 2.5m, while Espanyols is a little under 9m. They are by far the lowest, denoting that they were well in excess of their salary limit the previous season.
Real Madrid continue to have nearly double the salary limit of their closest competitor, in this case Barcelona, with a salary limit that again increased from last season. Their salary limit rose from 493m to 755m, which denotes the change from the start of the transfer window, but in reality, it is up from 676m last season.
Barcelonas limit is now at 426m, up from 270m last season, and 200m in January. Meanwhile Atletico Madrid are still by a distance the third force in Spain, with a salary limit of 310m.
Below the big three, Real Sociedad and Villarreal are well ahead of the rest of the chasing pack, where their salary limits are 159m and 135m respectively. Real Betis follow with 109m, Athletic are at 100m and Girona have reach 94m, increasing their salary limit by close to half with the money they will gain from the Champions League.
At the other end of the table, but above Sevilla and Espanyol, Leganes are the lowest at 37m, and Alaves narrowly above 38m. In ascending order, there is little difference between Getafe, Las Palmas, Real Valladolid and Rayo Vallecano. RCD Mallorca and Osasuna are at 58m and 51m, but above lie Valencia at 74m and Celta Vigo at 74m, who are another of the biggest changes from last season, increasing their limit by a distance.
The limits have increased by 645m from the start of the transfer window to the end, to a total of 2.608b. La Liga note that the total spend is 544m, and the total income from the window is 535m, although this does not take into account free transfers and their cost, such as that of Kylian Mbappe.
