Aleksander Ceferin, head of UEFA, is eager to implement a salary restriction, and "everyone agrees"

Posted : 26 April 2023
Ceferin said that he had discussed the matter with the European Commission and that there had been discussions on enacting such a policy.

"Surprisingly, everyone agrees," he told US media outlet Men In Blazers.

"Big clubs, small clubs, state-owned clubs, billionaire-owned clubs, everybody agrees."

Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, discussed the prospect of a pay ceiling in football in March, and the governing body of European football is also interested in the issue.

"In the future we have to seriously think about a salary cap," said Ceferin. "If the budgets go sky-high then our competitive balance is a problem.

"It's not about the owners, it's about the value of the competition, because if five clubs will always win then it doesn't make sense any more.

"But it has to be a collective agreement - every league and UEFA. Because if we do it and the other leagues don't, then it doesn't make sense.

"I hope it can be made as soon as possible.

"For now, we have the new rule after 2024 that you can spend up to 70% of your revenues for salaries and transfers, but that's not enough because if your revenues are five billion, 70% is quite a lot.

"So, this is the future here, and I'm not afraid of the club owners being too powerful or anything. UEFA is leading the European competition and we have great relations with the European Club Association now."
