Atlético have reached an agreement with the Spanish Professional Football League (LFP) for the club's first-team spending limits for next season.

Negotiations between the two parties have intensified recently and this week they came to a compromise in the region of €125 million, in line with the financial control mechanism that the league has imposed on the clubs for several seasons now.

Atlético are working to build their new squad in full knowledge of their limits, more specifically the maximum sum that they can spend on salaries, transfer amortisation, and player image rights.

In this total of €125 million, amounts also need to be earmarked for coaching and backroom staff (around €15 million), youth players and player bonuses.

It should be pointed out that the price of a transfer is not as simple as it seems when it comes to the accountant's books: if Luciano Vietto signs from Villarreal for five seasons and Atlético amortise the €20m fee, for example, the deal would represent just €4m out of the budget at the Calderón for each of those years.

In any case, the situation isn't that the 'Rojiblancos' have €125m to sign reinforcements, but that is the maximum quantity that they can use for their first-team squad to comply with current regulations.
