Record Youth Sale Boosts Real Madrid’s Summer Revenue

Real Madrid’s summer window has been financially rewarding, thanks largely to its youth academy. The headline deal is Jacob Ortega’s €10 million transfer to RC Strasbourg, the highest fee ever received for a player who never appeared for the senior squad. Combined with €50 million from the sales of Gonzalo García and César Palacios and an extra €20 million from a sell‑on clause on Victor Muñoz’s Liverpool move, the club has generated over €80 million from academy graduates.
