UD Almería is negotiating a capital increase to compensate for the reduction of the salary cap after losing relegation aid. The imminent operation aims to register the entire squad and ensure the stability of the project.
UD Almería faces a summer of economic adjustments. According to this source, the red and white club is finalising a capital increase that could be announced in the coming days. The operation responds to the need to adapt to the new financial reality after losing the relegation aid from LaLiga EA Sports, a cushion that has allowed the club to maintain a high salary cap for two seasons.
With the disappearance of that 'parachute', the entity must reduce its margin for assembling the squad. The capital increase is presented as the tool to strengthen the financial structure and meet the requirements for player registration before the start of LaLiga Hypermotion.
The operation has an exceptional character. Since the arrival of the Saudi ownership in 2019, UD Almería has only carried out one capital increase, precisely that same year. The decision underscores the owners' willingness to continue supporting the project at a key moment, without giving up competitiveness or aspirations for a return to the First Division.
The club thus seeks to balance its accounts and provide reassurance to the sports management, which is working in the final weeks of the transfer market. The increase would allow the registration of all first-team players and face the championship with all pieces available.
The news comes in a context of maximum economic demand in professional football, where financial control is becoming increasingly strict. For UD Almería, overcoming this hurdle is essential to maintain the project's viability in the medium term and continue fighting for promotion.
Pending official confirmation, the capital increase is shaping up to be one of the most relevant moves of the summer in the offices of the red and white club. Its approval could be decisive for completing the registration of the squad and starting the season with guarantees.
For fans, the operation represents a relief: the club will not be forced to sell its best players to balance the accounts, at least in the short term. The management is confident that this financial injection will allow them to maintain the core and strengthen the necessary positions to compete for promotion.
The deadline for player registration in LaLiga Hypermotion ends on August 31. UD Almería is working against the clock to have everything ready before that date and avoid last-minute problems.
