DBasia.news – The corona virus pandemic has quite an impact on the world economy, including on the finances of football clubs. Even a team as big as Real Madrid also need to rack their brains to maintain their financial condition.
Of course one of the ways they make money is not by selling theie mainstay players in the current squad. Doing so will reduce the strength of the Zinedine Zidane team to compete on the next season.
Quoting from the US, Madrid’s way to maintain their financial condition is to sell players from academy products. Los Blancos is reportedly targeting 100 million euros from the sale.
Real Madrid did so by selling Achraf Hakimi to Inter Milan for 40 million euros. Even so Javi Sanchez to Real Valladolid (three also for economic rights by 50 percent). The other four players that Madrid tried to sell were Sergio Reguilon, Mariano Diaz, Borja Mayoral, and Oscar Rodriguez.
Madrid want to emulate the way they once did in 2017. Five Madrid academy product players were sold until they got an entrance fee of 98 million euros. The five players are: Alvaro Morata, Mariano Diaz, Diego Llorente, Burgui, and Alvaro.
The four players who entered the Real Madrid sale list were not just any players because they were talented and were still relatively young, but had difficulty competing in the Los Merengues first team.
This season Reguilon was loaned to Sevilla. Considering that Ferland Mendy and Marcelo are already in the left back position, his name is no longer Zidane’s first choice. Likewise, Mariano Diaz who supervised Karim Benzema.
Madrid reportedly still provides an opportunity for Luka Jovic to show off next season until Jovic and Benzema are the two mainstay players of the team – there is no room for Mariano Diaz. While Mayoral has long been unable to compete in Madrid’s first team.
If they get the funds they arranged, Madrid can still buy some players to cover their shortcomings in some areas, especially looking for a substitute so that Zidane can rotate his squad.
