Since he has been president of LaLiga, one of the things he boasts about most Javier Tebas It is the economic control implemented, with which the clubs’ debt to the Treasury and non-payments to the players have been put an end to. In that sense, the model is a success, with the clubs reasonably healthy and without complaints from footballers for non-payments.
The counterpart to this rigorous control by the employers’ association on the clubs is the investment in signings, which is being limited compared to other competitions with another model, a model that LaLiga defines as a “loss-making model.” LaLiga is not unaware of this reality and is considering making changes in economic control to encourage investment in transfers. In any case it will not be a revolution, because they want to maintain the spirit of a system in which they believe, but it will be a small step forward. These changes, in any case, must be ratified by the clubs in the coming weeks.
Javier Tebas already gave some clue on September 14 in the press conference he offered after knowing the clubs’ salary limits after the summer market. “We are planning to In capital increases, something more can be allocated to players with greater control of the club’s treasury for some years. We have been studying this option since last season and perhaps we will propose it to the clubs. But we will never go to loss-making models. At least with me presiding, an English, Italian, French type model, of putting money into the owners… If the clubs want, it will have to be with another president,” he explained.
As MARCA has learned, the changes that LaLiga considers in economic control and of which Tebas offered a small glimpse, are the following:
– It will be allowed spread COVID losses over more years. In principle, it was established that they should be recovered in five years (15% of those losses would be paid in 22/23, 20% in 23/24 and 24/25, and 22.5% in 25-26). and 26-27). LaLiga wants to set a maximum annual limit to pay in relation to the turnover, so there will be clubs that will spread their COVID losses over more years. Therefore, they will be seen less penalized annually in their staff limit.- The point that Tebas spoke about at a press conference: capital increases. Until now, a part had to be allocated to cleaning up the club’s balance sheet and not to expanding the Sports Squad Cost Limit (LCPD). Now, That part can be used to recover COVID losses, which will directly affect the LCPD.- Until now, the amount of capital increases destined to expand the Sports Squad Cost Limit It was supposed to be divided into four years, now it will be divided into two years. Always, of course, under requirements of greater control of the clubs. LaLiga does not want to lose the essence of financial sustainability. It remains as it was that the capital increase allocated to the Sports Squad Cost Limit cannot exceed 25% of the volume of the turnover.- Some amortizations derived from investments in infrastructure (Stadium, Sports City…) will be allowed not to be taken into account to calculate the Sports Squad Cost Limit, always with limits and also with requirements for greater control of the clubs.
These measures, as we say, still have to be voted on and approved by the clubs, as is done every year. LaLiga makes small adjustments from time to time to adapt and be more competitive and these are the next ones it considers. Last June, without going any further, the 40% rule for exceeded clubs was temporarily changed and it became 50%. The market is tight and they know they have to adapt.
