LaLiga is not exactly being 'El Dorado' for foreign investment. 30% of First Division clubs have external capital.

Only Mallorca and Girona have managed to end the year without squeezing. "The problem with many investments is that they do not understand the championship in which they enter," says Jorge López, professor of Sports Management at the European University. "A club is a special company because it is unpredictable and passionate," says Carlos Cantó, CEO of SPSG Consulting.
