The latest updates from La Liga reveal revised salary limits for First and Second Division teams following the winter transfer window.Girona,wich previously ranked at the bottom of the league with a summer salary cap of €3.98 million, has seen a significant shift.While the club initially had special permission to exceed this limit, its current salary cap now stands at €9.35 million. This boost is largely attributed to the inclusion of funds from the CVC mutual fund, which has been allocated to the club. Despite the €5.37 million increase, Girona has remained cautious in its spending, making onyl two strategic moves during the winter market: securing Víctor Sánchez and finalizing the transfer of Iván Martín. With over €30 million from the CVC fund at its disposal,Girona was permitted to allocate 15% of this amount toward its salary cap,reflecting a measured approach to financial management.
Exclusive Interview with Víctor Sánchez: Girona’s Winter Signing and the Club’s Financial Strategy
Moderator: Welcome, everyone, to another edition of Inside the Game. Today, we’re joined by none other then Víctor Sánchez, the seasoned midfielder and one of girona FC’s two winter signings. Víctor, thank you for taking the time to speak with us today.
Víctor Sánchez: Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Moderator: Let’s dive right in. Girona has been making headlines recently,not just for their on-field performances but also for their financial strategy. The club’s salary cap has seen a meaningful increase, jumping from €3.98 million to €9.35 million, largely due to the CVC mutual fund. As someone who joined the club during this period, how do you view this financial shift?
Víctor Sánchez: It’s a positive step for the club, there’s no doubt whatsoever. The increase in the salary cap reflects Girona’s ambition to grow and compete at a higher level. The CVC funds have provided a much-needed boost, and the fact that the club has been cautious in its spending shows a level of duty. They’re not just throwing money around; they’re making strategic moves to strengthen the squad.
Moderator: That’s an interesting point. Girona only made two signings during the winter window—yourself and Iván Martín. Some fans might argue that with over €30 million from the CVC fund, the club could have been more aggressive in the market. what’s your take on that?
Víctor Sánchez: I understand the fans’ viewpoint.Everyone wants to see their team bring in big names and make a splash in the transfer market. But football isn’t just about spending; it’s about building a cohesive team. Girona’s approach has been measured, and I think that’s the right way to go. Bringing in players who fit the system and complement the existing squad is more important than making headlines with expensive signings.
Moderator: That’s a fair assessment. Speaking of fitting into the system, how has your experience been so far at Girona? The club is currently fighting to stay in La Liga.What role do you see yourself playing in helping them achieve that goal?
Víctor Sánchez: It’s been great so far. The team has welcomed me with open arms, and the coaching staff has been very clear about their expectations. My role is to bring experience and stability to the midfield, especially in crucial moments. Staying in La Liga is our priority, and I’m here to contribute in any way I can—whether it’s through leadership on the pitch or helping the younger players develop.
Moderator: That’s fantastic to hear. let’s shift gears a bit and talk about the broader implications of the CVC deal. Some critics argue that while the funds provide short-term relief, they could led to long-term financial challenges for clubs. Do you think Girona is managing this balance well?
Víctor Sánchez: It’s a valid concern, but from what I’ve seen, Girona is handling it responsibly. The club has allocated only 15% of the CVC funds to the salary cap, which shows they’re thinking about the future. They’re not just focusing on immediate results; they’re building a sustainable model. Of course, only time will tell, but I believe the club is on the right track.
Moderator: That’s a great perspective. Now, I’d like to open this up to our readers. What do you think about Girona’s approach to the winter transfer window?

Moderator: absolutely. Víctor, before we wrap up, what message would you like to send to the Girona fans as the season progresses?
