Valeriy Karpin, head coach of Moscow's Dynamo team, expressed his opinion on the proposal by Russian Federation Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyaryov to introduce a salary cap in Russian Premier League clubs. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
This system has been applied in our country's hockey for several years. According to Karpin, it is unclear how a salary cap would work in an open league.
In closed leagues in America, this system can be effective, but it is not suitable for open leagues. Additionally, a salary cap exists in Major League Soccer in the United States.
In this system, the main rules for budget formation are established, and players' incomes are published as open information. Players sign contracts with the leagues, not with the clubs.
Each club can have three players whose incomes may exceed the established limit. This arrangement aims to maintain financial balance between players and clubs.
Thus, the issue of introducing a salary cap should be considered carefully and is complex for open leagues.
