He Seville is forced into a situation of maximum austerity, due to the economic problems it presents. The Seville club has the worst salary limit in first and second, with only 2.5 million euros. To improve it, they are forced to reduce their wage bill, sell players and, logically, increase their income considerably. A situation they have reached despite being the club that has collaborated the most with Javier Tebas in order to improve the audiovisual product, which has generated a plus in what they receive from employers.
Last season, teams began to open their locker room doors to cameras, to allow their coaches to listen to their speeches, or to give interviews before games and during breaks. With this measure, the League sought to improve the product, in favor of spectacle, and promised to distribute a sum of money 130 million euros.
Of all the clubs, the one that has accepted the most requests for Javier Tebas It was Seville. The Seville club was the one that carried out the most actions of this type, even though it finished with the same score as Atlético de Madrid, Rayo Vallecano, Osasuna either Athletic. Despite the extra revenue the club has generated, they have the worst figure of the 42 teams that make up professional football when it comes to the Sports Squad Cost Limit (LCPD), the name given to the salary cap.
This figure is obtained using a scale closely linked to the income generated by the club and the losses accumulated during previous campaigns. It Seville had one of the highest payrolls in the EA Sports Leaguewhich makes sense since they have been the fourth most valuable team in the competition for almost two decades.
However, the poor results of the last campaign, as well as the mismanagement of its board of directors in recent years, have led the club to a situation from which it will be very difficult to recover. They have a LCPD of 2.5 million euros, which they are far exceeding. In fact, the current cost of its staff is around 110 million euros.
Borderline situation for Seville
Exceeded by around 108 million, they escape the 1:1 rule until they regularize their situation. That is to say, the additional income they generate, the salary savings they make and the capital gains from the sale of players must be allocated up to 40% to mitigate this excess salary margin.
But Sevilla’s problems do not end there, since being exceeded in relation to the wage margin set by the League and continuing to register losses in its annual accounts can lead the club to enter a negative limit. The latter arrived in Barcelona, so Sevilla’s solution is to carry out a strategy similar to that of the Catalans.
Barça, whose income is much higher than that of Sevilla, has managed to increase this limit by generating additional income through the sale of the club’s assets through the famous levers, by deferring the salaries of its footballers and by getting rid of important chips, such as those of Busquets or the dawn. In the case of the Andalusians, being out of any European competition and not hoping to return to it complicates their situation in the near future.
