In the latest salary cap rankings, Getafe are at the top with €39.17 million, followed by Alaves and Leganes with €38.62 million and €37.13 million respectively. The Spaniards are in the bottom four with just €8.789 million, and Sevilla are at the bottom with a paltry €2.499 million, an eye-watering result.
Sevilla's embarrassing situation is deplorable. The veteran powerhouse, which has won the UEFA Cup seven times, just won the title in the 2022/23 season only to fall on hard times overnight. Despite a €150 million salary cap for the 2023/24 season, the club has fallen into a huge financial deficit due to mismanagement and lack of financial attraction.
Sevilla's internal problems are getting worse, and the lack of funds can't make up for their shortcomings. This season, they had a dismal start in the UEFA Europa League, with only 2 draws and 2 losses in the first four rounds, ranking at the bottom of the table. Faced with such a severe situation, the team is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the fate of relegation, and may even fall into the quagmire in the Second Division.
Also facing difficulties are Espanyol, whose salary cap is €8.789 million, also in the bottom two. In recent seasons, Spaniards have been traveling back and forth between La Liga and La Liga B, and the downward trend of their salary cap is worrying. Similar to Sevilla, Espanyol seems to have been used to this situation for a long time, and last season's salary cap was even only 10 million euros.
