In the case of the FC Barcelona, is worth it to remember that in the summer came of an increase of 800 million euros regarding the limit with which finalised the exercise 2021-2022, that was of -144 'kilos'.

In this wintry market, the Barça did not concretise any incorporation for the first team, further of the registration 'in extremis' of the new agreement of Gavi. On the other hand, they achieved the sale of Memphis Depay to the Athletic of Madrid, by some three millions, and Héctor Bellerín, with destination to the Sporting of Portugal by a 'kilo', in addition to the withdrawal of Gerard Hammered. The operations allowed that they registered to the midfield player sevillano.

The fall of the limit salarial of the Barcelona, in any case, is justified in the no classification of the Barça to the eighth of final of the Champions League and his disappointing go through the phase of groups. From the economic control of the patronal valued the losses in 26 million euros, but between the entry of new patrocinantes and the cut salarial by the three exits, have finishing swinging the limit of cost of sportive staff of the Catalans.

What is and how calculates the limit salarial?

It is necessary to split of the principle that has the limit salarial of LaLiga. In the web of the patronal define it like "the maximum amount that each club/SAD can consume during the season 2021/2022 after the market of summer, and that includes the cost in players, first trainer, second trainer and preparador physical of the first team", adding that the limit "includes besides the cost in subsidiaries, quarry and other sections (staff no inscribible, as it defines in the Article 38 of the Norms of Preparation of Budgets)".

Like this then , the limit salarial calculates with an equation 'simple' between the planned income that has the team, deduced his payments of structure and the cost of the planned debt for said season. The result, is the 'LPCD'. This, updates after the market of signings of summer and after the incorporations of the month of January, put always there is a modification by exits or incorporations.

In this sense, to the income by rights by television, agreements of sponsorship, partners and credited, income by competitions (League, Glass, Europe), income of exploitation, advertising and sales of players (with plusvalías) subtract him the costs, that are: wages of players and trainers, amortizaciones of the players, commissions to representatives, prime, compensations, as well as the quarry and subsidiaries.

Or you increase your income or if you do not achieve it, reduce your costs, or a mix of the two".
