Real Madrid is about to activate a $130 million boost while FC Barcelona looks for money under the rocks. They have to sell assets to comply with the law.
Real Madrid Aims for the Septuple
Laporta is desperately hunting for $60 million to return to the balance of financial fair play. It's the money he must immediately bring in if he wants to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is preparing for the septuple season and, more specifically, the new version of the Club World Cup that reserves a slice of $130 million for the champion.
Real Madrid expects to win this competition like all the ones it will participate in during 2025.
The Virtuous Circle Invented by Laporta
It's the simplest way to generate money in soccer. Just form a competitive and winning team. What Laporta always desired: a team that sets in motion the virtuous circle of the economy.
That virtuous circle is already with Florentino Pérez. The players perform on the field, the stands fill up, the club makes money, and economic rewards come from victories.
Real Madrid initially had reservations about participating in the Club World Cup. However, it will gladly attend, aware of the historic opportunity to achieve seven titles in a single season, something no one has ever accomplished.
$30 Million Just for Participating
While FC Barcelona hasn't earned its right to participate on the field, Real Madrid will earn $30 million just for being present in the tournament.
Then the results will translate into money and in case of final victory, Real Madrid could add up to $130 million in total.
With income of this nature, and without needing to sell assets, Real Madrid is equipped to compete with state-owned clubs for any objective. Will Haaland arrive with the Club World Cup prize if Madrid is the champion?
