Real Madrid used to sign the best players, regardless of cost. The rise of sovereign wealth in football and the growing financial power of their rivals demanded a different strategy. Investing in the best young players on the market, and hope for longevity.
Real Madrid go into the 2023/24 season with a midfield core of Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham. All under 23 at the start of the season.
Seb Stafford-Bloor explains how they have done it. Craig Silcock illustrates.

They also signed Arda Güler recently. So this strategy is continuing.
I'm surprised he is not mentioned in the video.
@@marc_overmars they probably filmed it before he signed with real madrid
A turkish brazilian is in charhe of yhe brazilian mnt untill carlo arrives.
I’d love to see a video on Calais’ 2000 French cup run. A team of dockworkers and postmen nearly winning France’s FA cup as a fifth tier side.
no way! you got a documentary or smthing about it? would love to see
Hitc sevens mate
I'll make a video on it, thanks for the idea 😂
The hilarious thing is that they dissolved in 2017
Please
One thing about Pérez is that he's evolved with the transfer market. The first galáctico project might have been a sporting disaster but the main aim was commercial success where it thrived. PSG tried it and it failed dismally.
The second project was decent and honestly they did enough to win trophies but Barça was just a notch superior at the time.
The current policy is great also because the young lads are not just professionals but also fans of the club which adds a bit of grit to their performance.
His second project over shadowed Barca. We got 5 UCLs in 9 years. With the same spine.
His second project pay off in 2014-2022 where Madrid own 5 UCL and Most of the main player are from 2009-2012
He's got no choice lmao
PSG Galactico era was a commercial success and a sporting disaster too. although with 1 Champions League I wouldn't call Real Madrid Galactico era a disaster from a sporting view. It was not successful, yes, but it wasn't a disaster
@@Honorbound43 I agree fellow Madridista. My point is that the "worst" was coming second in the league, where the points difference was in single digits. However that period was successful.
Juni Calafat has been so influential that he probably deserves a video of his own.
Fr, almost every Madrid's signing the last couple of years have mentioned his role as the deciding factor for them to choose Real
true !!! would love to see it
The best thing that ever happened to Real Madrid is Florentino Perez. They were a great club before he arrived but after he became President, Madrid's glory has been inextricably linked with Perez genius on the transfer market and on the business side of things.
The best thing that ever happened to us was Santiago Bernabeu the next best thing was Florentino Perez. His love for the club is unrivaled.
You can tell he loves the club with all of his heart but without Santiago we would be nothing and any true Madridista would say it like that. Hence why the stadium was named after him even before his death. Perez will probably get something named after him idk what yet but we will find out in my lifetime for sure.
@@Honorbound43 of course l don't know the club's history that much not being a fan but looking in from outside Perez has been phenomenal
Real Madrid have always been blessed by their president who pushed the club forward, from Santiago Bernabeu to Florentino Perez, even to the likes of Ramon Calderon and the late Lorenzo Sanz
2008-2014 was a dark period for Real Madrid
Historically speaking I don’t think that’s true. The best thing that happen to Real Madrid was Santiago Bernabeu (the President, not the stadium) and Di Stefano, Real Madrid would not have been what they are without them, and even the likes of Florentino Perez and Cristiano Ronaldo stands on their shoulders!
Also they are doing great work with free agents. They brought in alaba and rudiger on a free
They also gave them huge signing on fees and massive wages. Wouldn’t call it ‘great work’ I’d say it’s definitely throwing more money at these players than anyone else
@@joubeid8311 still a lower fee than buying then for 40-50 mil
@@joubeid8311considering alaba got a signing bonus of 17 million and rudiger 13 million it's great deals both players would of cost 50 million
Two experience leaders, both CL winners.
Yes, it is very impressive how many great players Real Madrid kept signing throught the years.
But I don't understand how they never signed Ibrahim Sangaré. Ibrahim has been 20 years old for the past 5 years and he keeps getting better and younger everyday that passes.
He will get his chance to shine soon on the biggest stage. All in due time!
@@spongeaang98he is being sarcastic you dummy
ibrahim sangare? hahahahahaha. That guy can barely play the ball to the right player
@@spongeaang98 no he won't. he is trash.
Real isn't perfect all the time... Players need to go to other clubs too😂😂
I'd argue that Real Madrid have always recruited young players to go alongside the 'Galactico' signings. In the famous 11/12 title-winning season, they have Benzema, Higuain, Ozil, Di Maria, Khedira, Marcelo, Varane, Callejon, Coentrao, and Granero who were all U-25. They've also signed many talented U-21 players such as Kovacic, Isco, Asensio, Theo Hernandez, Ceballos, even Ramos was signed when he was only 19. And also, I'd argue that they've toned-down the 'Galactico' policy a long time ago. I think they've only signed 2 since CR7 joined (Bale and Hazard) so I don't think this is something new either.
True. I was thinking the same. They always had promising young players in all positions trying to take the reins.
Does Bellingham not qualify given the amount they paid for him and his reputation?
Exactly!
RM before:
- sign some of the most expensive players in history
- kings of the transfer market (undisputed)
- world transfer record
RM now:
- sign some of the most expensive players in history
- kings of the transfer market (maybe disputed)
- no longer world transfer record! (Hazard 115m, Jude 105m)
Thats a RADICAL changes right here
Ramos was once 19? 😂😂😂 great point! There's always been a mix!
80M James was def a galactico signing
As a RM fan I may be biased but even from an objective viewpoint I think the way Real is planning for their future in an incredibly intelligent way whilst also competing for players with clubs owned by countries with much more financial power, I think it deserves a bit more praise. I'm so grateful to have Florentino as my president and I know one day will come when he won't be there and I can only hope he's planned for that as well.
This is the one that worries me…
He is a very good businessman, arguably the best club lead in the last 20 years but i do worry what will come of Madrid when he no longer holds the title.
@@PhilosificPerez is a once in a lifetime president. There is no replacing him. You just have to hope that the next president can remain competitive. Perez is setting that person up for success though - new stadium, new training ground, and a roster of the best young players in the world.
thing is that we also sold players. ronaldo sold for 116 million , casemiro for 70 varane 40 odegaard 35. hakimi 43, reguilon 30.
last 3 years we made more money by selling players than we spend on buying players. that is why we are able to spend around 300m this season.
I'm a Barca fan and I'm always astounded by how Madrid can get so much for players while Barca can't even give them away. We have Lenglet, Umtiti, Trincao and others who nobody wants to buy.
@@diulikadikadayreally comes down to Perez honestly. Most people dont know, but Perez is a self-made billionaire, hes CEO of one of the biggest construction companies in the world.
His management of Madrid business affairs and policies has been exemplary. Madrid is the only club ive seen that there are business books on.
@@diulikadikadaywell all of them are great players.
Real struggled to sell Luka Jovic, Hazard etc. It ultimately depends on mentality of player and their form
@@diulikadikaday Because those are average players, that are overhyped, and alreaady in delicne. While those named players before are good to world class players...
@@PhilosificBayern is also managed pretty solid.
Papa perez is an absolute genius. Say what you will but he has taken Real to another level on both football and commercial side.
Real Madrid are the best club in the world, they could walk in and grab any player to play for them
Something that I'd be interested in is that: Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool & PSG to some extent (I'm sure there are more) have all been investing strongly in youth approach and trying to get players before their peak with Rice and Bellingham both good examples. My question is has this approach changed the market so that now the most expensive a player is no longer when they are peaking but pre-peak because the club knows that if the sign at 24 on a 5 year contract the peak will occur completely with the clubs control where as if the sign at 27 they don't have as long at their peak? With all these clubs employing this strategy I wonder if we could/have already gotten to a point where peak and older players become the new value.
I believe that this has always been a thing. In any sport, really. The more years ahead, the dearer the sportsman will be taking in consideration their youth and potential mainly, I believe
At least in Madrid's case is the likes of Benzema Modric Kroos Nacho and Carvajal as veteran player is also working as role model in the changing room for the young players.
It's all based on their prices, actually. Nowadays, players at their peak valued excessively, imho. So I believe they still have value, but only to those who are rich and hope for some "instant" successes.
Madrid isn't that kind of club. They're lucky enough to have history of titles and capable squad backing them up, so they don't desperately need anything to jump start instantaneous successes.
This strat requires a huge amount of changes. RM were extremely fortunate to have kroos modric and benzema competing and winning ucl at their age. Had Benz declined drastically a few year before, we would have had serious problems in the attack and would’ve bought and instant impact player may he be 27+.
RM went through a huge phase of reconstruction after CR7’s departure, bale and then hazards failure.
You have to look at the player agent side of things. There is a reason Haaland had a low release clause. The players realize that every cent that goes towards a transfer fee is a cent that doesn’t go towards their signing bonus.
And there still is a ton of risk in signing young players. Endrick might be the next world class striker, or he might be a bust. Bellingham has looked great for Dortmund and England, but there is no telling how moving to Spain and the pressure of Madrid will effect him. A 25 year old super star is always going to command a premium because they have proven over multiple seasons to be world class.
Florentino Perez. The man. The myth. The legend of Real Madrid. Imagine if Barcelona had someone as equally astute and visionary.
What I like the most about this, is that despite I am a Barcelona fan, I can see how Madrid has developed their image as the best football institution, without depending on sovereign money nor of wealthy individuals or groups. I see Madrid working towards the future of football. Who would've thought...
Just bail outs from Spanish banks and from the local Madrid Council...
well, Barca have ruined themselves... Honestly not even Bartomue fault... Somebody had to vote for him and they couldnt get rid of him either...
Incompetence,etc.
@@majormononoke8958 Exactly. I am a Barcelona fan not for the institution, it is because of a love that transcends rationality, it's a love for the joy they've brought to me. But I should give credit where it's due
@@majormononoke8958The last contract for Messi was insane.
If you play one player that much, you can't also make deals on a scale like with Countinho. Probably the greatest transfer flop, alongside Edin Hazard.
But Real was able to handle the Hazard flop. But last season Barca had to do some very questionable deals, to make transfers like Lewandowski even possible.
In the near future, Real Madrid could be the only team in the World that’s not owned by International Consortium. Other teams may owned feeder clubs in all 221 FIFA member countries or have army consist of millions of superstars but they’ll never come close to a football royalty like Real Madrid.
such a wonderful channel man! my happiness is when I see a new Tifo video
I don't think that they've changed policies. They are still spending galactico money for players relative to age and status for example, vini Jr was bought for 40-45 mil euro, 3-4 years ago, which in relative terms is essentially paying 100-120 for a superstar. Look at Bellingham 100mil, that's more than any "galacticos" his ever paid for.
They're essentially just buying "young galacticos" and tbh for young galacticos prices -tchoumeni and Bellingham 100mil each.
Your calculation is incorrect. These players give their best output when they are already amortised. So accounting wise, buying them young even at a premium, equals a much lower transfer fee had they been bought later on in their careers. Madrid is willing to pay that premium because they trust that 90% of the time the player will develop correctly and increase his value, thanks to their brilliant coaches and how they screen every prospect not just for footballing talent but also mental attributes. What they do is top notch and testament to why Real Madrid is the best club in the history of this sport... Or even sports in general.
As a Chelseafan since the 70's, no matter how rich we or any team becomes, Real Madrid will always be the greatest club with a legacy no club could match hence the reason why any player would play for them and that's something
Wipe your mouth, pull up their trousers, and get off your knees once you're done with all that glazing
The greatest team funded by fascism throughout its history. such a great legacy
@@taubrow4973 And then you woke up
Barca has a similar Legacy, AC Milan also does too. Bayern Munich, Man Utd, Ajax.
To say Real success is purely down legacy is to minimize the clubs business management. Most of Real success is more so due to this, not legacy.
@@Philosific Real Madrids legacy still way ahead of any club ...
First being by their domination of the champions league and second by actually having a rival that can compete with them...
Contrast to Bayern... Sure they have gotten some triple, but the Bundesliga is a disgrace...In France similar, but worse because PSG is managed so bad ... Premiere league teams can not compete with Man city machine but they have not replicated similar success international like Real has ... Which questions the league strengh... But they had liverpool the last years with gave something similar like la liga...
I also think that Juni Calafat deserves a video on his own, there were reports that say Calafat just needed one call to convince Arda Guler to sign for Real Madrid
Ancelotti chatted with Güler multiple times so he was definitely tracked for a long time
Real did not sign many players over 27 in the last 10 years. They brought in nearly everyone at a young age and if they were good, they stayed for some years. That's what made this team so good. Having Benzema, Ramos, Kroos, Casemiro, Varane, Modric for so many years helped a lot. And with CR7 and Navas/Courtois, you had two more positions locked in for a while.
Edén Hazard, Luka Modric, Joselu,etc
I don’t think it’s a recent thing Madrid buying the top youngsters, they’ve been doing this for a long time. Admittedly there seems like a lot recently but they moved away from the Galatico strategy a long time ago (since the James disaster, and Hazard being an exception). They are still looking to add older more established players for the right balance (Alaba, Rudiger, Joselu for example), but they know because of their stature they can get them on a free, instead of paying the massive transfer fees.
James was not a disaster, he just didnt fullfiled the expectations to the fullest.
Hazard was a total disaster.
@@majormononoke8958 when he signed he was 4th or 5th most expensive player ever and they managed to get one fairly decent season out of him. The rest of his time he wasn’t a factor. That’s a disaster to me.
I've never been this optimistic and excited for Real Madrid.
This is different now. I can see we are gonna build a MONSTER of a team.
Agreed
LOL
@@Gothamsbatmanfrom what’s being going on it seems likely they’ll bag Mbappe
@@Joshi431-13don’t know what’s funny and don’t know what team u support but Madrid is certainly better than them 💀
@@Gothamsbatman Do you actually think Madrid needs natural nr 9 when they acquire Mbappe and has Vini and Rodrygo playing next to him? You're kidding yourself. In case you haven't noticed even Benzema was never a natural nr 9, he played as left winger in Lyon, they will make it work don't worry about it. If it wouldn't work you think Madrid would be chasing the turtle for years? I seem you're the expert here and they should hire you? 😂🤦♂
well put together. It's been an impressive pivot in strategy, especially when you consider it's happened under the same president who started the Galactico charge in the first place
Madrid are cooking something big. If they get the right manager after Carlo joins Brazil then their new era could be another dynasty.
Very probably, it's going to be between Xabi Alonso or Julian Nagelsmann
Frank lampard
@@00dude3😂
@@00dude3Sam allardyce
Alonso, Raul or zidane again
Well, if you think about it, they didn't actually change their transfer policy. It's just that they used to buy Galacticos earlier, but now they buy under 21 galacticos.
tifo is so intelligent and eloquent. easily my favorite football analyst.
I love this channel, so much info while also relax8ng
Tifo video = instant happiness
Love the animations
its impossible not to like Carlo. guys just a gift wherever he works.
Im not a madrid fan, im actually a Betis fan. But all i can say is all of this clubs like chelsea, united, City, newcastle, PSG, etc etc... They can have all the money in the world, but there is just something about that white Madrid shirt man, everyone wants to play there. They may not pay the most anymore, but dam it they will always be the greatest club
Summer of 2009 was wild for Madrid
This is how you do business ❤❤
well done on the thumbnail. It's perfect.
RM is doing what 90% of FM players do. Buy wonderkids and develop them to superstarts or sell them with profit if given the chance.
Madrid haters always ignore the fact that Real is still a fan owned socio and it was spending its own money on the transfers. The money Real made from being one of the most successful clubs of all time. It's not like some Russian billionaire or Arab Sheikh came in and poured money in to take an average team to the top. That's Chelsea, Man City, PSG etc. Plus every world record transfer was for a player considered to be the best (Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo). The Ronaldo transfer is one of the greatest pieces of business in any sport.
This voice over guy would make a great podcast host
Juni Calafat is the key cog in the new transfer policy.
Not only targeting South America, they signed Martin odegaard at a very young age as well
A por la 15!
Espero que Modric gane otra champions antes de que se vaya. El jugador que más me encanta desde que he empezado a ver el fútbol en 2009.
Historia que tú hiciste, historia por hacer!
imo, cause they know, it'll be Manchester City or other club for "Next Galactico" + Most fans are now more "younger" than ever
So yeah, now they target the younger ones.
(just my personal opinion)
We (City) don't and will never operate a Galactico style transfer policy as long as Khaldoon al Mubarak is chairman. We have a strict wage structure and never pay over our own valuation for players. We also sign all players with the priority being for footballing reasons.
more like we are ending an entire era of football Messi and Ronaldo spanned essentially 20 years of football (you can throw hazard and Neymar in there as well as they were the closest to that peak). Nobody got the same height or were truly able to shine in those 20 years. Remember the only player to get a Ballon d'or in their prime was Modric and just now it was Benzema. So even players like de Bruyne and Bruno are at the tail end of their career, why would anyone build around that? Most 26 year olds aren't really that good in the game rn. So all that's left is the younger stars.
Flo saw this coming and planned accordingly.
Can you do a video about Union Berlin's rise from 2 ties in 2018 to Champions league in 2023?
It would be cool if you compare their rise to Hertha's fall.
The greatest club in the history of all sports
Well well well... We need an updated video😉
Tifo's the best
Juni Calafat, my man.🐐
Can you do a documentary on Corrine Diacre and her controversial/toxic tenure as manager of France’s women’s National team
Background music reminds me of Big Krit - Bigger picture
1 thing i agree on this content is the power of superstar, the attraction, the commercial power aren't at the level of the past, we now know real Madrid more than its stars..
2:35 you left out a handful of other examples in top flight leagues
Great Video but the players Real Madrid have now will win something over the next 5 seasons but my biggest worry is a proper manager. When Carlos leave next season i would love to see all 3 at Real Madrid.....Xabi Alonso, Zidane and Raul.
Raul will not manage Real madrid ... Perez doesnt like him ...
i love jude signed for rm
i think that perez deserves a stand or something to be named after him, like the sir alex ferguson stand in old trafford
Man mark it Brahim going to be the next big thing
Our super scout Juni Calafat's Brazillian identity so necessary it's not even a joke.
My video started playing in spanish andi was very confused hahahah
Nice accesibility feature, tifo
Your illustrator did Zidane dirty on that intro. Man looks more like Gianni Infantino.
Real about to start a era of dominamce that could last a decade. A whole new generation of super talents that slowly understood how to play together.
And Flo will likely hire the rrplacement for Carlo before he retires, likely Xabi Alonso, to have a legacy like nobody else ever had
I love your videos! My favourite channel atm always interesting and informative. I’m wondering if you could cover more championship content going forwards? It’s my favourite football league and next year there is going to be fascinating. As the second most viewed league in the world it deserves more attention!!
Two things worth mentioning that were missed in the video. Firstly, this tactic only consistently works for clubs like RM, Barca and United. Big clubs with massive history and an insane pull. Many of these youngsters Madrid signed in recent years refused more lucrative offers from other big clubs because they dreamed of playing for Madrid. Without that pull these players would not have come. Secondly Calafat's role within the club. While he is technically a scout his primary role is not scouting. He is more of a deal maker and facilitator. His biggest value lies in forging bonds with big prospects and their entourage long before a deal is struck, sometimes years in advance. That way when the time to sign comes and clubs from all over put in an offer RM already has a very personal relationship with these players, their families and agents, giving them an advantage. He's a salesman through and through. Building relationships and selling the club and their project to the biggest talents.
Yes, Real Madrid has changed strategy so much.
Started to sign young players recently.
For decades they’ve roped in other clubs best players, which irritated many people.
How did you not mention the players that failed during the process like odegaard and kubo
The change in policy - over paying for the finished article is now, over paying for young players
Your subtitles are broken guys
None of these things work if you dont have passion for the badge and this is why these young players are working for Real Madrid! All of them Vini, Rodrygo, Valverde, Camavinga, Jude, Arda will rather die on the field than losing a match in that white shirt! I dont remember Vinicius celebrating any of his goals without kissing our badge 🤍 and trust me this is where the difference lies with other teams!
I definitely see Real Madrid getting CL and UCL this year a lot of people are sleeping on them because of how trash they've been playing not to mention winning games they really shouldn't be winning but a lot of people including myself can see from the outside they're gonna get it you can see the hunger in their eyes they want it bad
When Barça adopted Real’s tranfer strategy of buying expensive and established players (going bankrupt in the process), Real went the Barça way, of buying young talents at not too exorbitant prices (with the exception of Bellingham). They’ve successfully rebuilt their attack (except striker) and midfield without spending too much money compared to Barça, Man City, Man Utd., Chelsea, etc.
Kudos to Papa Perez for learning from Hazard’s transfer.
They have still spent a fortune on Tchouaméni, Camavinga and Bellingham. And they want Mbappé. Let's not act like their academy is what is keeping them relevant.
They spent over 200million pounds on their midfield lets not act like they dont spend money.
@@aggrayngaya5541 yet our net spend is among the lowest
@@rahulsrinivas3224Camavinga came for €30M, Valverde for €5, Vini Jr. €46M, Rodrygo €45M..
Yes, they paid more for Tchouaméni and Bellingham, because you have to. And so they will for Mbappe. But in larger scheme of things, Real have been very smart in investing their money - towards squad as well as stadium rebuilt.
FYI I’m not a Real Madrid fan.
Barcelona never adopted Madrids galactico policy, it was merely 2 seasons of reckless spending by an incompetent president and his board. You're either deliberately misrepresenting Barcelona or you're actually misinformed. And Barcelona have never actually bought young rising players in the same way Madrid are doing, with the exception of a few and unrelated cases. They have signed 12 to 15 year old academy players with the hope to integrate them into the academy and style of play, it's not the same thing.
Bellingham cost 100 million euros so i'm not sure if he belong to the new or the old policy. Altough considering the fortune they spent in renovating the stadium, i don't think they can spend that amount in many players. Let' see what they do with Mbappe
I think they are banking on him to become the next Ronaldo-ish player. Ronaldo was entering his prime when they got him, however, nowadays you can't wait for a player to reach their primer because other big money clubs will get to them first. Imo it's a worthy risk. He is young enough to get moulded and skilled enough to have a huge impact for the next 5 years (alteast) or 10 yrs.
It might seem more obvious the way that Real are working right now, but it's worth pointing out that even during the Galacticos era (2001-5) they weren't signing *old* players, in fact in over 2 decades as club president, Perez has only signed one 30÷ player (Carvalho, because Mourinho insisted on him)
Figo was 28, Zidane was 29, Beckham was 28 when Real Madrid bought them. They were old players by early 2000's standard as most players at that time declined rapidly when they hit 30. Then in 2006 they bought many oldies, Emerson, Cannavaro, and Ruud v. Nistelrooy (all were in their 30s). I think the youth policy they are enacting today is risky considering the seniors are too old (modric, kroos) or leaving (benzema).
I wish this video had been prepared later to include Arda Guler in it. Great stuff as always nonetheless.
I am a diehart Barça fan, and I loathe Florentino Perez to my core, not for his role as the president of Real but for things outside the sport. But I have to say Perez is one of the best presidents one can have, he's brilliant knows how to do business and he's ruthless, something necessary in a business and what's football in the end, I don't like it but I respect it
Real Madrid has a long history of recruiting great players, with Jude Bellingham the latest example. Jude signed for them over MCFC who just won the treble and could/would offer higher salary as well. If he was willing to go to PSG he would easily earn twice the money he is getting at Real. Hats off to Perez and his team.
From what I heard allegedly 👀 he had no interest in signing with Manchester City calling them a plastic club and Real Madrid is still the #1 club in the world way higher than City with a way bigger fanbase no player in their right mind says no to Real Madrid Jude was playing chess this whole time
How about a video on John Duncan, he was Shaun Dyches mentor in so many ways and was a legend for Chesterfields 1996-97 FA Cup run.
Yet Chelsea are said without direction
You should do transfer policy of man city so far they're the only team who made wise decision even though most of them ate costly signing players but city found success with almost all of their players. So far the best business deals with good results 💙
What is the soundtrack?
Having experience in the structure of the team like Courtouis, Alaba, Mordric, Nacho, Cavarjal, Kroos and Benzema helped to remove the pressure from the young players and helped them perform. So if Real continues signing young top talents, and veteran expereince players on free transfer. They would have hacked the transfer market.
Dont forget selling surplus world class talent for 150m
what version of stormy is the song
It took Flo a long time to realize the Fifa CM meta
One big add on to their strategy is to use their status as THE Club of the Champions League to get Players on high Level for free. Players like Alaba, Rüdiger and potentially Mbappe would have cost a fortune otherwise. This keeps the balance between young talented Player and Players who are already experienced on the highest level.
I'm glad you linked the sportswashing era back to Abramovich. I think a lot of people falsely think it started with City.
Wasn't so much sports washing then as the perception of Russia in 2003 was that it was moving in the right direction and slowly integrating with the Western world. It's only more recently we look back and see that wasn't the case.
How was Chelsea sportwashing? Literally just Russians investing their money in the west... Even if we claim that they were washing their dirty money, it would not be the sport washing we connect with todays definiton...
@@majormononoke8958 lol @ "investing." The guy loaned them £1.5b over two decades and you act like he was in it to earn a return. It was just one guy seeking to improve his reputation. That's the very definition of sportswashing.
People think Madrid dont spend.
Spending 60m on a 16 year old isn’t cheap, they do it with so many players too
Its cheap compare to what they would have paid for vini jr today.
I slightly disagree with this video. Yes that’s our strategy but if we wanted to we can still pull the big stars, this year we could’ve gone for Harry Kane and that’s because Madrid prestige makes us desirable to any player which then forces the club to value the player at a more reasonable price.
This strategy of young players was also to save money for the renovations of the stadium. Originally Florentino wanted to build a whole new stadium but ran into trouble with the locks government. Regardless it was still very expensive, I will not be surprised if we eventually go back to the galatico era in 5-10 years
Real is playing Fifa Career Mode
The thing about signing youngesters is if they dont end preforming well you could still sell them for good money .
Real Madrid really building a new revolutionary team without having to make a major change
Chelsea's new transfer policy looks similar
Now at a champions league final, we need a new video
what about arda guler
siu?
“aRdA gUlEr NoT mEnTiOnEd???” yeah because this was probably written and recorded before his transfer was confirmed, use your head
You forgot 18 years old Arda Güler from Fenerbahce.
Que equipazo ❤️
"as" in spanish means "ace".
Kross was a robbery. Real Madrid saw a pearl and bought him before the World Cup and cheap. I couldn’t believe Bayern Munich let him go just like that 😂😂
Such a shift grew up with real buying and arsenal selling now a 180° well done real.
Real Madrid will always be the greatest team in the world despite the cheaters from the EPL or the Saudi pro league
This is not entirely true. Real Madrid's policy was the 'Zidanes y Pavones' where the Pavons were young players who could grow into the team next to the superstars. The Galacticos are still there - they'd have Mbappe by now if things had gone according to plan. Bellingham is as much a Galactico as Haaland, certainly not a punt on youth as Vinicius, Rodrygo, Reinier or Endrick could be regarded. Hazard would also be starring if he hadn't've banjaxed himself. You also forget Robinho was an attempt to buy Neymar before he became Neymar. Mesut Ozil was signed for cheap at 21, Varane was signed at 18, Casemiro at 21, Isco at 21. James Rodriguez was signed for 75M euro. Odegaard, Drenthe, Asensio...
The big change has been the addition of Juni Calafat and the Brazilian players brought in. Take them out and the transfer policy hasn't changed too much. I would also add that the Brazilian Perez rued missing out on who went on to be worth a fortune and inspire his signing of Brazilian talent wasn't Neymar as much as Kaka.
Some clubs find success on the training ground, but now they just find it in the transfer window
To think Modric, Kroos, and Casemero won one more CL 🤯
They spent so much money on young players, the difference is that back then they had superstars like ronaldo, benzema, ramos, casemiro to take the heavy pressure off the kids. Lets see if Kroos can do that alone.
