The transfer market of Real Madrid has been truly hectic, and Florentino Pérez has turned the sale of homegrown players into one of his main sources of financing during the summer of 2026. Revenues have already exceeded 200 million euros according to the latest movements, covering a large part of the approximately 225 million invested in reinforcing José Mourinho's squad.

This operation follows a model repeated by the club: selling only a portion of the economic rights or retaining percentages of future transfers. Under the presidency of Florentino Pérez, the club has typically held between 30% and 50% of the pass of various homegrown players, allowing for new revenues after their departure.

Real Madrid exceeds 200 million with its youth academy

The largest operation involves Nico Paz, whose definitive transfer to Como 1907 has yielded around 60 million euros. Following is Gonzalo García, sold to Fulham for 40 million pertaining to 70% of his rights, consequently allowing Real Madrid to retain a stake in the forward.

Fulham has also acquired César Palacios for about 10 million, and Manuel Ángel during the market's closing. This latter move maintains the relationship between the London team and a Madrid youth academy that has found the Premier League to be one of its main markets during this summer.

Other significant revenues come from Víctor Muñoz, transferred to Liverpool for about 20 million euros, and from Mario Gila and Álvaro Rodríguez, whose deals are around 15 million each. Álex Jiménez, heading to Bournemouth, has generated another 12.5 million.

The list includes movements like Jacobo Ortega to Estrasburgo for 10 million, Víctor Valdepeñas to Fiorentina for 8 million, Mario Martín to Getafe, and Fran García to Betis. These sales also explain Madrid's activity within and outside of LaLiga.

Florentino Pérez retains rights over the youth academy players

The case of Chema Andrés illustrates the extent of this policy. Real Madrid had sold him to Stuttgart while retaining 50% of his rights, and his subsequent transfer to Brighton has generated approximately an additional 11.5 million euros for the club's accounts. The midfielder has signed for five seasons with the English club after playing 41 matches with Stuttgart in the 2025/26 season.

These revenues directly affect the expenses incurred by Florentino Pérez. Before the recent closing deals, the club had made around 190 million through La Fábrica players, against an investment of 225 million for José Mourinho's transfers. These include Yan Diomande, Marc Cucurella, Carlos Espí, and Denzel Dumfries, alongside the acquisitions of Ibrahima Konaté and Bernardo Silva without a transfer fee.

The closing of the market further increases this self-financing percentage. The next focus for Real Madrid will be on the rights they still hold over transferred players: each future sale has the potential to bring in revenue without needing to part with any current players in the LaLiga squad.
