Real Madrid invests €225 million while academy generates €199 million
Summary

Real Madrid has spent €225 million this summer to enhance Jose Mourinho's squad, securing six players including Yan Diomande and Marc Cucurella. Significant revenue of €199 million has been generated by La Fabrica through player sales and retained rights from academy graduates. Major transfers include Gonzalo Garcia's €40 million move to Fulham and a €60 million deal with Como for Nico Paz. This financial model suggests Madrid's investment is largely offset by income from their academy, maintaining a robust transfer strategy. The club seeks to further solidify its roster as the season approaches.
