In the “Men in Blazers” podcast, he spoke Alexander Ceferin, in which he referred both to the proposition for salary cap, as well as for the holding of the 2026 Champions League final on USA.
The president of UEFA stated that he wants to include the American model in the European firmament by introducing one salary cap, with the players being completely opposites with something like that.
“From 2024, clubs cannot spend more than 70% of revenue on wages and transfers, but that is not enough. Because if the revenue is 5 billion, 70% is a lot. It’s a way of protecting the value of the competitions, if the same five always win, there’s no point.” he explained, referring to the superior financial potential of English clubs. “It has to be a collective agreement, with all the leagues and UEFA. But everyone agrees, clubs big, small, private individuals, billionaires… “.
On the other hand, the players have already expressed their opposition: “They are constantly asking players to play more and more, creating new competitions, expanding others, creating more money. Limiting the wages of those who create the product so that others can benefit is not a solution.” warned the Machete Mateo Molango, head of the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) for England and Wales.
