Barcelona salary cap up by €81m after Camp Nou return | OneFootball

LaLiga’s winter update lifts Barcelona’s squad cost limit from €351m to €432m, up by €81m, a 23% increase.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, the revised caps were published on Tuesday following the winter window.

The rise does not restore the so called 1:1 rule, so the club still need to offload assets to register new players, though normality is closer.

The club’s autumn‑approved accounts budgeted €464m of squad cost, only €32m above LaLiga’s current limit.

The improvement coincides with the men’s first team returning to Camp Nou after more than two seasons at Montjuïc. Stadium income is flowing again, albeit with restricted capacity and reduced premium services.

The picture is complicated by advances used to cover injuries. Problems for Ter Stegen and Christensen were used to sign Joan Garcia and Cancelo, sums the club must repay in future windows.

Elsewhere, Real Madrid remain on €761m. Girona and Espanyol receive marginal increases of around €1m, while Levante and Getafe see cuts exceeding €15m.
