16. Getafe: money-spinning, with a budget of 39.17 million euros
17. Alaves: a close second, with 38.62 million euros also quite substantial
18. Leganes: tight finances, only able to come up with 37.13 million euros
19. Spaniards: stretched to the limit, with a budget of only 8.789 million euros
20. Sevilla: staggering, bottom of the table with 2.499 million euros
Sevilla is in a particularly awkward position in this salary cap list, coming in at the bottom with €2.499 million. Sevilla's budget is not even close to that of the Chinese Super League teams if you compare it to their salaries, and the challenge this season is undoubtedly huge. It's mind-boggling to see such a veteran powerhouse in such dire straits.
Sevilla, once known as the "UEFA Devils", have won the UEFA Cup seven times in the team's history, most recently in the 2022/23 season, but just over a year later, Sevilla were on the verge of collapse. However, just over a year later, Sevilla is on the verge of collapse. 2023/24, Sevilla's salary cap is 150 million euros, but due to mismanagement and lack of ability to absorb money, resulting in an imbalance of income and expenditure.
Sevilla's problems are already very serious, internal contradictions, can not be solved by money alone. Due to its own problems, this season's "UEFA Frenzy Devils" had an extremely bad start, with two draws and two losses in the first four rounds, ranking second last in the league. I'm afraid that this season will face the fate of relegation, and even difficult to get a foothold in the second division.
Sevilla's plight is not an isolated case, as the Spaniards are in no better shape, ranking second from bottom with just €8.789 million. In recent years, the Spaniards have oscillated between La Liga and La Liga 2. Looking at the current salary cap, there is little hope of staying in La Liga this season. Compared to Sevilla, Spaniards' situation is not surprising. In the past few seasons, their salary cap was also only 10 million euros.
