Aleksander Ceferin, the Uefa president, hinted at the possibility of imposing a fixed spending limit in a recent interview with the Men In Blazers podcasts. He said: “in the future we have to seriously think about a salary cap,” adding: “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.”

salary cap will never happen because there are players associations that would have to sign on for it, and of course they won't. salary cap just means the owners get to keep most of the money instead of the players. no bueno

They’ll never be legit. There’s a whole lot more that makes the Premier League premier than top end talent.

At best they’ll be the LIV golf of soccer

Dirty little secret: when you pay a player, the money is gone. When the owner keeps a bit more, (mostly) it gets reinvested in the infrastructure, in the club.

He already talked shite on Saudi in another interview

Basically threw a jab at all leagues for overpay for players at the back end of their careers

There won't be a salary cap but I would guarantee their solution would be changing the financial trickle-down to the bottom rungs of the pyramid.

So every league then. And if it works for your league like Messi to MLS, why not? Ultimately, players will want to compete at the top level and most of those teams aren't wasting money on has beens (excepting Ronaldo to ManU of course).

CR7 still preformed for United tho. Of course most players will play in the top leagues. If dudes want a massive check in a retirement league then go for it. Problem is Saudi is moving in on quality players in their prime. Something MLS can’t do. They have the funds to be in it for the long run unlike China

Every league doesn’t

But is it for MLS. The owners have shown their hand on why Messi is coming here. They don’t care about improving soccer in this country. Agreeing to all pay his wages, giving him a cut of Apple TV/Adidas money. Then jacking up FV prices on Miami matches when they come to your city is shameful. They don’t care about being competitive.

There won’t be a cap, but legit Financial Fair Play wouldn’t be a bad thing.

And they can bring the Saudis in line by making it a FIFA matter.

What is the point of Super League?
At the heart of the ongoing European Super League venture -- and it is still very much an ongoing venture -- there remain two major goals: to close the increasing gap between the Premier League and the richest non-English teams in Europe and, basically, to replace UEFA as the overseer of European club football.

This

There are probably dudes that they think they’re cool with if Arsenal or Chelsea are in for them, but it hurts their pride to see Wolves or West Ham in on them

The top teams in other countries spend just as much as the prem, they just spend it terribly.

Juventus wage bill would be the 2nd highest in the prem.
Bayern, Madrid, Barca all have wages bills higher than anyone in the premier league.

La Liga in particular have allowed tv deals that don't allow for their middle clubs to progress because it's so weighted to wards the big 2/3. Maybe they should fix their own house first?
Perhaps they should fix the issues they all have with attendances neither Spain or Italy have more than 8 clubs averaging over 30,000 a game, the prem has 15. As many as them both combined

Premier League is responsible for only 5 of the 15 €100m transfer fees
The premier leagues smallest wage bill (Brentford, £15m) is smaller than Serie As (Cremonese 17m) and only 500k more than La Ligas (Almeria).500k more than Budesliga(Bochum)
