The Semak club spends 3.2 billion rubles on salaries without bonuses.

The Capology portal specializes in collecting data on football salaries. We have compiled an assessment of salary costs in RPL, which is both curious and dubious. The data does not always agree with official reports RFU for fiscal year 2022, released in June.

It is important to understand that they exclusively quoted salaries without taking bonuses and bonuses into account. It seems that the smart rich RPL They pass on some of the money in the form of incentives and keep the salary at a relatively modest level. However, what is modest for the guys who kick the ball is incredibly big money for tens of millions of Russians.

1 place. Zenit – 34 million euros

Expenses are 16 billion rubles, and salaries are 3.3 billion rubles, 20% of the amount? We don’t believe it. IN of UEFA ask that salaries do not represent more than 70% of the budget and in the “implementation-related expenses” paragraph of the report RFU we see 7.3 billion, 76 million euros. The amount is closer to reality, because the application is full of stars RPL. Zenit has huge bonus payments.

2nd place. Spartak-30 million euros

Presumably close to Zenit. But Spartak doesn’t pay footballers just 3 billion rubles a year, the real amount is higher. In the report RFU 4.5 billion appear with total expenses around 10 billion rubles. As you can see, Spartak is about one and a half times poorer than Zenit. Similar pay gap, not just 4 million euros as in the net salaries ranking.

3rd place. Dinamo – 24 million euros

Useful data. It turns out that Dynamo has excellent funding. The club’s expenses amount to almost 8 billion rubles, next to Spartak, but the net salary is estimated at 24 million euros. Dynamo players have to fight for a place in the top three with a club budget and bonuses for their play. Sponsors help, it’s time to respond successfully.

4th place. Lokomotiva – 22.4 million euros

They said they would spend 5.5 billion, but the figure could be higher. This means signing Dzyuba. But seriously, salaries of 2.1 billion rubles a year are serious, with that money you have to fight for three. But there is no need to talk about a championship with such funding. If Zenit’s amount with bonuses is much higher, Lokomotiv’s difference is more modest.

5th place. CSKA – 22 million euros

U CSKA expenses of 7.5 billion rubles. Therefore, we do not believe that salaries are only 2.1 billion rubles. Overheads give everyone away. CSKA, like Zenit, is becoming poor. Although we note that in the expenses of the army team the difference between net salary and bonus is small. Everyone except Akinfeev is not overpaid, although tens of billions of rubles have been spent through the club.

6th place. Krasnodar – 20.3 million euros

A club with expenses of 6.3 billion rubles presumably spends 2 billion on salaries. With bonuses and bonuses there will certainly be a lot more money. But the sixth on the list, Krasnodar, spends significantly less than Spartak, but is higher in the ranking, in first place. It is a pity that at the end of the financial year the “citizens” suffered a loss of 1.1 billion rubles, they could not survive without Galitsky’s money.

7th place. Sochi – 16.1 million euros

The rich are gone, but the salaries in Sochi show that generous club owners are in RPL Enough. The last team in the standings spends 1.5 billion rubles on salaries, that is, the average monthly salary of the club is about 50,000 dollars. That’s not a bad price to pay for defeats.

8th place. Rubin – 15.8 million euros

As expected, Rubin is very popular, because the club has incredibly rich sponsors. Kazan stood out strongly in the lower league, they have expenses of 4 billion rubles, so you don’t have to believe this figure. It is possible that with bonuses there will be many more.

9th place. “Rostov” – 15.4 million euros

Karpin’s team pays players more money. There are few foreigners, Russians are not overpaid. This is why they will lose some players next summer. But for the province the figures are enormous: an average of 44 thousand euros per month per footballer. It’s time for them to play better.

10th place. “Akhmat” – 13.4 million euros

The Grozny club doesn’t like the news. In the official ranking RFU the costs are indicated to be modest, around 1 billion rubles. At the same time, the ranking indicates expenses only for salaries at 1.3 billion rubles per year. Akhmat needs to play better.

11th place. Paris NN – 11.6 million euros

“Rostov” is almost one and a half times higher, they moved to modest clubs RPL. Although 1.1 billion rubles is really little money? For Nizhny Novgorod it is definitely big, so Yuran’s success is a plus for the club: it is easier to explain why they spend money on football, and not on something more important for the region.

12th place. Orenburg – 10.8 million euros

Another modest guy. They spend a billion rubles in net salaries, and the club’s total expenses amount to one and a half billion. It turns out that Argentines go to Orenburg on their own, almost paying extra. All that remains is to learn how to sell valuable players, because the revenues are still modest.

13th place. “Ural” – 10.7 million euros

Even in the region of a billion rubles for salaries, the club’s total expenses are also approximately at the Orenburg level. President Ivanov clearly gives bonuses, but lately Gancharenko and his players have been saving Ural money – they are losing in the championship.

14th place. Baltica – 9.6 million euros

But this is a surprise. “Baltika”, it turns out, is a rich man in hiding. After leaving RPL They dramatically increased the club’s budget, they lived on 700 million rubles a year, but now their salary is only 925 million. But there are other expenses: transfers, match organization and then bonuses for incoming points RPL.

15th place. “Wings of the Soviets” – 9 million euros

Officially poor, but the team is strong and the results are good, sharing third place after the first round RPL. You should not believe this amount. Does a club with expenses of 2.3 billion rubles a year spend only 870 million on salaries? This is not the case, Garre and his associates get more.

16th place. “Fakel” – 7.4 million euros

In the report RFU the indicated amount is close to this value: 670 million rubles. But the salary data now amounts to 713 million, which reminds us of a trap, because many contracts are concluded in foreign currency. The collapse of the ruble automatically increased the costs of clubs RPL.

Conclusions on salaries in RPL

– The range of average salaries is from 240 thousand to 1 million rubles per month. Huge sums, footballers RPL significantly overrated. In market conditions they would earn much less, so the payout is a factor linked to the championship.

– Clubs hide bonuses and salaries for players and managers, and this rating only shows “naked” salaries without taking into account taxes and bonuses. It can be seen that six clubs are much richer than the others, but there is also a twofold difference between the intermediate clubs.

– Zenit’s lead did not increase, because the Moscow and Krasnodar clubs have huge expenses on salaries. Galitsky hardly has enough 20 million euros to pay for the team’s work with the wanted Spertsyan. All conditions have been created.

– Budget does not mean success. Spartak spends 9.6 billion rubles a year, Krylia Sovetov four times less, but Abaskal was defeated in Samara 4:0. However, the costs affect the distance, because Zenit is ten times richer than Fakel.
