Real Madrid are gearing up for a crucial summer ahead. The club are soon expected to confirm the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, while another key signing Endrick is eager to join the camp at the end of the season.
Real Madrid are expected to sign a few more star players to address certain weak areas in the team, including the fullback department.
Unlike their arch-rivals Barcelona, Real Madrid are in a sound financial position and won’t have much issues in regards to meeting the club’s budget, despite the rather exorbitant salary of Mbappe.
Speaking of finances, Real Madrid are already making up for their expenses for the coming summer by earning heaps of revenue from the UEFA Champions League.
Real Madrid have earned €55 million from UCL so far
According to Arancha Rodriguez, Real Madrid have already bagged as much as €55 million from the UEFA Champions League this season.
This comes shortly after the club’s narrow triumph over RB Leipzig in the Round of 16 tie, where Los Blancos won by a 2-1 aggregate.
The win over RB Leipzig helped the team secure a ticket to the quarterfinal stage. Real Madrid stand to earn more revenue from the competition as we approach the final phase of the campaign.
In fact, the Spanish giants could easily reach up to €100 million in revenue from the Champions League if they can reach the final.
Tricky UCL campaign ahead
However, Real Madrid’s task in the Champions League is about to get tougher, considering the quality of teams that have qualified for the quarterfinal stage.
In fact, Real Madrid will be joined by the likes of Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinal stage.
This week, clubs like Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Barcelona are in contention to reach the final eight stage, alongside the winner of the Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan tie.
