The 2021-2022 preseason in the soccer Spanish is marked by the financial problems of the clubs. There is less money to invest and this translates globally with a worse position of the Spanish teams in their options in the Champions League and Europe League, as reflected in the quotas of Codere.
All clubs, from the richest to the promoted, find serious financial setbacks to sign players. At the highest level we find the best examples. Real Madrid, Barça, Atlético or Sevilla have been forced to make important adjustments in their squad to balance the accounts. Soccer is a wheel and the problems of the greats dot the rest of the teams. There is no money to support all the players and some of the best have packed their bags, either by decision of them or by the need of their club.

It is the case of Bryan Gil. From being one of the sensations of last season, which led the young Andalusian player to the National Team, to entering an exit operation for Tottenham. Sevilla needed liquidity and decided to find a solution through its great promise. The Spanish club has received 25 million euros and incorporates the attacker Lamela, who exchanges the rain in London for the heat in Seville. Tottenham, precisely, has starred in the great operation of the summer by accepting an offer from Manchester City for its star Harry Kane, valued at 180 million euros.
Goodbye to Ramos and Varanne
The departure of Sergio Ramos is another example of the economic problems of Spanish football. Although the central defender accepted Real Madrid’s proposal, the white club took advantage of the situation and the debate generated around its renewal to avoid executing said expansion and thus get rid of one of the highest chips in the squad. His traveling companion in recent years, Rafael Varanne, has found his destination in the Manchester United, who has paid 50 million for his signing.
Problems at Barça
Messi has had to cut his record in half to continue at Barça. Although the contract of the Argentine star is an exception due to the enormous magnitude of the economic figures, it is still another indication of the financial issue of Spanish football. The Blaugrana club has put some of its players up for sale for whom it has made a strong investment in recent years. Griezmann cost 100 million and Pjanic, 60. According to the operation left by Barça, his adventure would last two and one year respectively. Their salaries are beyond the possibilities of the club and it is urgent to find a solution.
Atlético, meanwhile, has also made a move in this regard, looking for a way out to Saúl Ñíguez or renouncing to make investments in transfers. It is a different summer. There are no large investments, but there is a great movement on the part of the clubs to move the market and cut expenses. What seems evident is that the departures of the big clubs are destined for other leagues and this hurts the Spanish competition.
