The Rise and Success of Real Madrid: A Financial Perspective
Jun 7, 2024, 08:51 AM ET
Real Madrid have always been known as one of the biggest and most successful football clubs in the world. However, their success goes beyond just their on-field performance. In fact, the club has shown an exceptional level of financial discipline and profitability over the past two decades, which has contributed greatly to their sustained success. Let’s take a closer look at how Real Madrid has managed to maintain such a strong financial position and what their recent moves mean for the future of the club.
Kylian Mbappé and Endrick: The New Signings at Real Madrid
The arrival of Kylian Mbappé as a free agent and teenage sensation Endrick has caused quite a stir in the football world. These two new additions to the attacking corps have strengthened the team and filled any gaps that may have existed in the past. With the help of on-loan veteran Joselu, they were able to end up as the top scorers in LaLiga, an impressive feat for any team.
While there have been some concerns about their backline, Real Madrid has shown their ability to be flexible with their investments. The signing of Mbappé will undoubtedly have an impact on their immediate financial situation, but the club is confident in their ability to make strategic moves to offset any potential losses.
Real Madrid’s Advantage Over Other Clubs
One of the biggest advantages that Real Madrid has over many other clubs is their ability to retain their star players. This is due in part to the fact that most of their players are already highly paid and it is difficult for them to get significant raises elsewhere. But more importantly, most of the players are genuinely happy at the club, both personally and professionally. This makes it a less attractive option for them to leave, as leaving Real Madrid would be seen as a sideways move at best.
Real Madrid also has the advantage of being one of the biggest and most prestigious clubs in the world. This means that they have a strong brand and reputation, making it easier for them to attract and retain top talent.
Kosport Magazine’s Take
This year’s series of Keep or Dump has shown that Real Madrid has a strong and talented squad at their disposal. While there may be some areas of concern, the club has consistently shown their ability to make strategic and smart moves to maintain their success. Real Madrid continues to be a powerhouse in football, both on and off the field.
Defensive Decisions: Who to Keep and Who to Move On From at Real Madrid
David Alaba (31, 2026)
David Alaba, a versatile and experienced defender, has been a valuable asset to Real Madrid since his arrival in 2021. However, with his current contract set to expire in 2026 and his age at 31, there are concerns about his future at the club. With a high salary and a recent injury, Alaba will need to prove his fitness before a new contract can be considered.
Kosport Magazine’s Take: Keep and Wait to Extend
Antonio Rüdiger (31, 2026)
Antonio Rüdiger has been a standout player for Real Madrid this season, but with his age and wages, there is no immediate need to rush into a contract extension. It is best to wait and see how he performs next season before making a decision. If he wants to stay, then offering him a one-year extension would be a wise move.
Kosport Magazine’s Take: Keep and Wait to Extend
Nacho (34, 2024)
Nacho, a long-time servant of the club, has proven his worth once again this season. He is a valuable player to have in the squad and has earned the right to decide his future. If he wants to stay for another year, Real Madrid should offer him a contract extension, especially considering his modest salary.
Kosport Magazine’s Take: Up to the Player
Ferland Mendy (28, 2025)
Ferland Mendy has surprised many with his strong performances this season. While he may not be the most technically gifted player, his defensive abilities have proven to be crucial with a player like Kylian Mbappé in front of him. However, his injury history and average on-ball skills are points of concern. Real Madrid should keep him for now, but also be open to offers if they come in.
Kosport Magazine’s Take: Keep and Listen to Offers
Fran García (24, 2027)
Fran García may not have a high upside, but he is happy to be a squad player and is on low wages. Real Madrid should hold on to him for now and see if he can develop into a reliable full-back like Lucas Vázquez. However, if they do sign another left-back, there is no point in keeping him.
Kosport Magazine’s Take: Keep and Move On
Dani Carvajal (32, 2025)
With Dani Carvajal’s contract expiring in 2025 and his age at 32, there are doubts about his future at the club. However, with Real Madrid’s ability to exercise their “X” factor, a year-by-year approach would be best. If he has a good season, offer him another contract extension.
Kosport Magazine’s Take: Keep and Evaluate
Lucas Vázquez (32, 2024)
Lucas Vázquez has been a valuable player for Real Madrid over the years and deserves a contract extension. The club should offer him one more year and keep him around for his versatility and experience.
Kosport Magazine’s Take: Keep and Extend
Jesús Vallejo (27, 2025; on loan at Granada)
Jesús Vallejo, a promising young defender, has been plagued with injuries in the past few seasons. However, with a year left on his contract and no potential suitors due to his injuries, it would be best to keep him and try to nurse him back to full fitness.
Kosport Magazine’s Take: Keep
Rafa Marín (22, 2026; on loan at Alavés)
Rafa Marín had a successful season on loan at Alavés and has shown potential to grow into a key player for Real Madrid in the future. The club should keep him and offer him a contract extension to see his development.
Kosport Magazine’s Take: Keep and Extend
Midfield Decisions: Who to Keep and Who to Move On From at Real Madrid
Aurélien Tchouaméni (24, contract expires in 2028)
Aurélien Tchouaméni has been a consistent performer for Real Madrid and his young age makes him a valuable asset for the future. The club should keep hold of him and continue to develop his talent.
Kosport Magazine’s Take: Keep
Federico Valverde (25, 2029)
Federico Valverde’s versatility and talent make him a valuable asset for Real Madrid. The club should hold on to him and continue to utilize him in various positions on the field.

The Future of Real Madrid’s Midfield: An Analysis
When it comes to the midfield of Real Madrid, one can easily be overwhelmed by the sheer number of talented players. With the likes of veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, as well as young talents like Eduardo Camavinga and Dani Ceballos, the depth and quality of Real Madrid’s midfield is undeniable.
Eduardo Camavinga (21, 2029)
As for the young players, Real Madrid’s latest addition is 18-year-old Eduardo Camavinga, signed from Rennes. He has shown great potential and has already impressed in the limited playing time he has received. Despite his age, he has proven to be a valuable asset to the team and it is clear that Real Madrid sees a bright future for him.
Toni Kroos (34, 2024)
A veteran of the team, Toni Kroos has been a reliable and integral part of Real Madrid’s midfield for years. While he may be approaching the end of his career, his experience and leadership on the field have been invaluable. However, it is expected that he will retire within the next few years, as he will be 34 by 2024.
Luka Modric (38, 2024)
Similarly, Luka Modric’s time with Real Madrid may be coming to an end. Despite his initial unhappiness with his reduced role, he adapted and proved his worth off the bench. However, at the age of 38 by 2024, it is likely that he will retire as well.
Dani Ceballos (27, 2027)
While he may have shown potential at a young age, Dani Ceballos’ performance has been hindered by injuries. It would be beneficial for both parties if he were to be loaned out or sold to a club where he can develop and reach his full potential.
Jude Bellingham (20, 2029)
One player that has caught the attention of many is 20-year-old Jude Bellingham. He has proven his adaptability by playing in different positions and has shown faith in manager Carlo Ancelotti. He has a promising future with Real Madrid and should definitely be kept.
Forwards
When it comes to the forward line, Real Madrid has an abundance of talent as well. With players like Brahim Díaz, Arda Güler, Nico Paz, Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, and loaned out player Juanmi Latasa, it is clear that Real Madrid has a bright future ahead of them.
Brahim Díaz (24 years old, contract expires in 2027)
Initially, there were doubts about Brahim Díaz’s ability, but he has proven them wrong with his impressive performances in the second half of the season. As a different type of player compared to his fellow forwards, he offers a nice balance on the right and should be kept for the future.
Arda Güler (19, 2029)
While Arda Güler may have been unhappy with his playing time, he has shown promise and finished the season strong. He should be evaluated for a potential loan out in January to continue his development.
Nico Paz (19, 2027)
Considered to be one of the most talented players from Real Madrid’s academy, Nico Paz has not been able to break into the first team due to the crowded attacking midfield. It would be best for him to be loaned out to gain experience and playing time.
Vinícius Júnior (23, 2027)
Vinícius Júnior has been a valuable member of Real Madrid’s attack since his arrival. He should definitely be kept for the future.
Rodrygo (23, 2028)
With the potential arrival of Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo may be the most threatened in terms of playing time. However, he has shown great promise and it would be wise to keep him and evaluate his role in the team next year.
Juanmi Latasa (23, 2025; on loan at Getafe)
Unfortunately, Juanmi Latasa has not been able to establish himself in the first team during his loan spells at Getafe. It would be best for him to be moved on, even if it means a lower transfer fee.
Kosport Magazine’s Take:
It is clear that Real Madrid has an abundance of talent in both their midfield and forward line. However, with the potential departures of veteran players and the arrival of new ones, it will be interesting to see how manager Carlo Ancelotti utilizes these players in the upcoming season. It is important to make wise decisions and not let go of young talents too soon. Ultimately, the future of Real Madrid’s midfield and attack looks bright, and it will be exciting to see how these players develop and contribute to the team in the years to come.]”,
Kosport Magazine’s Take
It’s that time of the year again – the transfer window is open and the rumor mill is churning. As we look ahead to the upcoming season, let’s take a closer look at some players in our squad and what we can expect from them. Here is Kosport Magazine’s take on some potential moves for Real Madrid.
Reiner (22, 2026; on loan at Frosinone)
He was supposed to be the next big Brazilian star, but things haven’t quite panned out as expected. After unsuccessful loan spells at Borussia Dortmund and Girona, he found himself relegated while on loan at Frosinone. With two years left on his contract, it’s best for Real Madrid to find another loan solution for him.
Joselu (34, 2025)
Joselu had a great season and it would be wise to make his loan deal permanent for just €1.5m. He brings a physical presence to the attack that other forwards don’t have, and with a reduced role, he can be even more effective.
Kosport Magazine’s Take
In order to improve our chances for the upcoming season, we suggest keeping Joselu and making his loan permanent. We may also need to add another midfielder following Kroos’ departure, and options like Bellingham, Camavinga, Modric, Tchouameni and Valverde give us plenty of options to choose from. As for the defense, we should look for an upgrade at full-back in the next year or two (perhaps someone like Alphonso Davies or Trent Alexander-Arnold), but in the meantime, bringing back a relatively inexpensive option like Miguel Gutiérrez from loan could be a smart move.
Kosport Magazine’s Overall Verdict
We have been impressed with Real Madrid’s squad-building over the years, and as we head into another transfer window, we have confidence in their ability to make smart decisions. They have a lot of flexibility and options with their current squad, and with some potential moves and signings, we could see a very competitive and successful Real Madrid team next season. Keep an eye out for potential surprises and new developments in the coming months.
