Overview

  • Real Madrid tops the updated LCPD ranking at €761.226 million, with Atlético Madrid on €326.98 million and Barcelona reduced to €351.27 million.
  • LaLiga attributed Barcelona’s roughly €112 million drop largely to the accounting treatment of Camp Nou VIP boxes, according to executive Javier Gómez.
  • The combined roster ceilings for Primera and Segunda were set at about €2.70468 billion for 2025–26, underscoring wide spending disparities across clubs.
  • Valencia’s limit rose to roughly €91.24 million after LaLiga accepted a personal guarantee from owner Peter Lim tied to future commercial income and noted Goldman Sachs financing.
  • Celta de Vigo’s cap increased to €91.12 million following operations that include projected Europa League revenue, with LaLiga stressing that some approvals remain conditional.
