Club Salary Rankings and Dilemma Analysis
Getafe is in 16th place with €39.17 million in salary.
Alaves followed in 17th place with €38.62 million.
Leganes is in 19th place with €37.13 million.
The Spaniard, on the other hand, is second from bottom with a salary of €8,789,000, just above Sevilla.
Sevilla ranked lowest with a staggering €2.499 million salary.
Sevilla's salary cap is shockingly low. Sevilla's support looks weak compared to the salary of the Chinese Super League teams, and the challenge this season is undoubtedly huge. It is indeed unbelievable that such a veteran powerhouse has fallen into such a situation.
Sevilla, a team known for their UEFA Cup mania, have won the title seven times in their history, most recently in the 2022/23 season. However, just over a year later, Sevilla have fallen on hard times, with a €150 million salary cap for the 2023/24 season, but the club's mismanagement and lack of money-absorbing ability has led to a serious imbalance between revenue and expenditure.
Sevilla's own problems are very serious and have been traumatized internally, which cannot be remedied by mere capital injection. Due to the problems, Sevilla's start this season is extremely poor, with 2 draws and 2 losses in the first four rounds, ranking the second last. It seems that the fate of relegation is unavoidable this season, not to mention a foothold in the second division.
Sevilla are not alone in their woes, as Espanyol are also under severe financial pressure and are second from bottom with a €8.789 million payroll. The Spaniards have been unstable in recent years, hovering between La Liga and La B. The team has been in the bottom half of La Liga with a salary of 8.789 million euros. Looking at the current salary cap, the chances of staying in La Liga this season are slim. Compared to Sevilla, Espanyol's situation is not optimistic either, with a salary cap of only €10 million in recent seasons.
