Real Madrid board set to approve record revenue and Diomande signing

Real Madrid’s board of directors is scheduled to meet Tuesday, July 28, to approve the club’s financial results for the past season and ratify next season’s budget.

Real Madrid set to post record revenue

As AS has learned, Real Madrid is once again set to post record-breaking revenue, expected to total around $1.5 billion. No sports organization has ever reached that figure, reinforcing the club’s financial strength and long-term stability.

The club’s recently renewed agreements with Adidas and Emirates reflect the confidence sponsors continue to place in Real Madrid’s leadership. Together with HP, those partnerships have made the club’s jersey the most valuable in world soccer, generating approximately $346 million in annual sponsorship revenue.

Real Madrid’s transfer activity

That financial muscle has allowed Real Madrid to be one of the busiest clubs in the transfer market this summer, and the next move is expected to become official in the coming hours with the announcement of Yan Diomande.

The club has already reached a full agreement with the Ivory Coast international, while its deal with RB Leipzig took shape last week and is expected to be finalized later Tuesday.

Diomande will become Mourinho’s fifth signing of the summer, but he is unlikely to be the last, with further additions depending on departures from the first-team squad.

Real Madrid’s academy has already generated more than $115 million in transfer income this summer, a figure expected to rise before the window closes. Additional sales involving players currently training—or soon to begin training—under Mourinho at Valdebebas also remain possible.

After evaluating his squad, Mourinho’s first major conclusion has been that the team needs more speed.

That assessment explains Real Madrid’s swift move for Diomande, a player the Portuguese manager believes has the qualities to become a transformational figure at the club.
