As an Australian I genuinely find European football salaries obscene and a bit disgusting tbh. Over here both of our major codes of football, NRL (rugby) and AFL (aussie rules) have had salary caps since the late 80s. It's not something implemented per player, but instead for the total roster of a club. The point is to make the competition fairer and well, more interesting, because you don't have all the good players concentrated into a few super clubs. In 2022 it was $13.5m for AFL clubs and $10m for NRL clubs. As well, if you breach it you generally don't get to earn points on the ladder until the following season. If you did it in the past, won a premiership and it's discovered, the title will be stripped.
It makes sense
In the serie A let me see what they can do with that money... Uhm the Juventus can't even pay for Dusan Vlahovic (he gets €12 million - net per season)
I mean yes, those numbers are fairly low because they're designed to keep the sports sustainable in the Australian market.
Even if the cap were €100 million, that would still be a lot fairer than a free-for-all.
