Málaga will increase its salary limit by around 4.3 million with the sale of Ricardo Horta

The Blue and Whites will go from having 7.3 million for staff spending to over 11 million

As MARCA has been reporting for several days, Malaga is rubbing its hands knowing the economic improvement it will have in its planning once the transfer of Ricardo Horta to Benfica takes place officially. The Blue and Whites are waiting and showing caution, but the calculations made by the Martiricos entity are clear. Horta's departure to the Lisbon club would allow him to increase his wage bill by more than 4 million.

Once Málaga sends the pertinent official documentation to LaLiga, the latter will have to verify the operation through its own financial control. To date, the information circulating in Portugal is that Ricardo Horta is going to be sold to Benfica for 17.5 million euros plus the inclusion of Gil Días who will become a Braga player on a permanent basis.

The Malaga team will receive a third of that sale . We must not forget that the percentage of the Blue and Whites is high in this movement and they have to share the economic cake with more actors. Among them, the super agent Jorge Mendes. Well, in terms of wages, Malaga will have to subtract 1.5 million from that benefit because LaLiga 'recovers' that amount as amortization because the Portuguese was registered in his own competition in his day.

This income, added to the 400,000 euros available to the sports management, allows for a considerable increase in a remainder that is not required to be exhausted in this market , since it is still unknown how and when the money will reach the Blue and Whites' club. What is clear is that the growth of the salary limit would allow Pablo Guede's squad to improve and grow.
