“It Was Enough for [Kylian] Mbappe” – Hours After $775,490,000 Boost, Real Madrid’s Strong Position to Raid PSG Highlighted by La Liga Boss

La Liga in Spain might not match the Premier League in England with its resources of funds available. However, Real Madrid‘s squad boasts some of the world’s best soccer players. Los Blancos signed Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund for a fee in the region of $109 million earlier this summer. But now, the head of La Liga has suggested that Madrid still have the financial capability to splurge on PSG star forward Kylian Mbappe.

The La Liga boss is none other than Javier Tebas, who has stated that Real Madrid are in a strong position to sign Mbappe. This comes shortly after La Liga released their list of spending caps for Spanish clubs. The figures have revealed that Real Madrid have $775.5 million available, which puts them in the front seat to sign Mbappe.

La Liga president Javier Tebas comments on Real Madrid’s financial strength to sign Kylian Mbappe

Real Madrid flirted with a sensational move for Kylian Mbappe again this summer. There was also talk of Mbappe going to Saudi Arabia for 1 year and then making the move to the Bernabeu.

But, the potential transfer eventually broke down. Now, after the release of each La Liga club’s salary cap, Javier Tebas spoke to the media about Los Blancos signing Mbappe.

According to a report in Spanish media outlet Sport, Tebas said, “With the salary limit that Real Madrid has, it was enough for Mbappé and another player.”

Mbappe showed the world what he is capable of at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The Frenchman scored a hat-trick in the final but eventually lost on penalties to Messi’s Argentina. Mbappe’s remarkable showing at the World Cup further elevated his transfer value going into the summer. But Real Madrid couldn’t lure the Frenchman to Madrid, but as these reports suggest, they do have the finances available.

Meanwhile, for Real’s adversaries Barcelona, their financial struggles continue.

List of La Liga clubs spending caps as Barcelona’s financial woes continue

According to the La Liga report Barcelona’s salary cap reduced from $692 million to $288 million. According to a report in ESPN, these caps are: “The maximum amount clubs should spend on wages, bonuses and amortisation payments on transfers across a season, not how much they are necessarily spending. Clubs that breach their limit are subject to spending restrictions.”

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid have a cap of just over $315 million, which is slightly higher than Barcelona. Sevilla have a cap of $179 million. While Villareal have $152 million as their cap.

However, Barcelona did beat Real Madrid to the La Liga title last season. This was a huge victory for Barcelona boss Xavi. Nevertheless, how this season pans out remains to be seen.
