🚨 Real Madrid’s plans to sign additional players this summer have hit a financial snag due to the club’s wage bill, which exceeds La Liga’s salary cap, as reported by MARCA.
Despite a successful 2024-25 season with a La Liga and Champions League double, the arrivals of Kylian Mbappe, Dean Huijsen, Franco Mastantuono, and Alvaro Carreras have pushed the wage budget beyond the permitted limit.
La Liga’s strict financial controls prevent further signings until the wage bill is reduced, likely requiring the departure of high-earning players.
The club is considering offloading Dani Ceballos, Ferland Mendy, and potentially Rodrygo Goes, though no immediate exits are confirmed.
This financial constraint complicates manager Xabi Alonso’s squad-building efforts, particularly after the 4-0 FIFA Club World Cup semi-final loss to PSG exposed squad weaknesses.
Real Madrid are prioritizing compliance with La Liga’s rules, potentially delaying targets like Ibrahima Konate or Angelo Stiller until the wage issue is resolved.
