Florentino Pérez seems to be making a revolution at Real Madrid. And it is that the president of the white club knows how to do business to financially benefit his club, allowing him to save at least $82.5 million gross dollars thanks to the departures of players like Marco Asensio, Mariano, Eden Hazard and Karim Benzema.
In barely two days, Real Madrid announced the departure of four of its players, with the Frenchman Karim Benzema being the one that surprised everyone despite the fact that rumors of his departure had been going around for several weeks. As reported by the newspaper AS, the striker had a net salary of just over $18 million net dollars per season but was not among the best paid at the club.
For his part, Marco Asensio, who will play for Paris Saint-Germain next season, earned about $6.43 million net dollars. Now, Asensio is rumored to net about $11 million per season at PSG.
Mariano, who hasn’t had much of a role since his arrival in part due to various injuries, ran out of a five-year contract with which he earned just over $5 million net per season.
Finally, the classic example of “what could have been”, Eden Hazard. The Belgian footballer and the Merenque team ended a contract that ended in 2024 by mutual agreement. After suffering a serious injury in 2019, Hazard did not have the opportunity to demonstrate what made Chelsea fall in love at the time. The Belgian arrived with a contract of more than $17 million net dollars
Added to the bonuses to the players plus all the costs of the chips and other payments, Madrid adds more than $ 80 million dollars in savings to afford the necessary renewal of the squad that gave them at least five Champions League.
