Real Madrid save €75m in less than 24 hours following departure announcements

The last 24 hours have been extremely busy at Real Madrid, following a series of announcements on players departing at the end of the season.

On Saturday, Marco Asensio, Eden Hazard and Mariano Diaz were all confirmed as leaving Real Madrid later this month, with the big announcement on Karim Benzema’s departure coming on Sunday morning.

It means that Carlo Ancelotti will have just two forwards for next season at the moment (Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo), although it will mean that Florentino Perez will be active in this summer’s transfer market.

Real Madrid have been handed extra funds for the window, with MD reporting that they have saved €75m in wages with Asensio, Hazard, Mariano and Benzema all leaving. Hazard’s contract was for €30m per year, Benzema was on €28m, with Asensio and Mariano each on €9m per annum.

Real Madrid’s transfer business over the last few years has been commendable, and ahead of this summer, they are primed to go on the offensive, as several reinforcements are targeted ahead of next season.

  1. Our last “big” purchase was Hazbeen (unfortunately).
    Plenty of saved money in deposit.
    BribELona flipped 15 players in last two seasons to tune of 660mil in burned assets.
    Lets see what it looks like when you reinforce without bandaid solutions and begging clubs to release free signings for you.

    I cant wait for next season to begin. Quality depth is a must, besides obvious positions that need to be adressed.

    1. A mongoIoid subhuman with profound mental health issues and aut. lsm needs to be reminded on a daily basis that his club, much like himself, are a laughing stock of world.
