Overview

• Barcelona’s official squad cost limit falls by €112.3m from February’s €463.6m to €351.3m following the summer window review.
• LaLiga executive Javier Gomez linked the decline to the €100m VIP-box revenue being removed after an auditor rejected its recognition.
• LaLiga also cited lost match-day income from the Camp Nou closure, estimating a €70–80m annual shortfall weighing on Barcelona’s finances.
• Despite the reduction, Barcelona retain the league’s second-highest limit at €351.3m, edging Atlético Madrid’s €327m, while Real Madrid lead at €761.2m.
• LaLiga will reassess limits after the winter window, and the figure could rise if the VIP-seat agreement is later validated by auditors.
