Things can't be going any better for 'Madridistas' as the team celebrates another fantastic season over at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Spanish club is dominating the European sphere and is enjoying a historic moment in the history of football. The goals keep coming, and the money keeps flowing in!

A wild start to the summer

The Spanish club will cash in €140 million (£118m/$150m) after winning the Champions League, a massive reward after a long season.

All eyes on the Euro 2024

Now that the party is over, and the season has concluded, many of the Real Madrid players are off to join their national teams for the Euro 2024 and Copa America.

Compensation for loaning players

Although international duties might be perceived as a risk on behalf of the clubs, UEFA has established a range of financial compensations for the teams involved to ensure top-quality football.

11 players provided by Real Madrid

When looking at the Real Madrid squad, a total of 11 players have been summed for international duties: Carvajal and Nacho (Spain), Camavinga, Mendy and Tchouaméni (France), Kroos and Rüdiger (Germany), Modric (Croatia), Bellingham (England), Lunin (Ukraine) and Arda Güler (Turkey).

What about Mbappe?

With Mbappe's recent signing, there has been a lot of talk regarding his role with the French national team this summer. Will the Spanish club risk their star signing?

Number of days

Another criterion UEFA considers is the number of days the players spend with their national team in the tournament.

40 days in total

This being the case, a player could spend, at most, 40 days playing in the Euro 2024, which officially starts on June 14 and concludes on July 14, but financial compensations are set to start on June 4.

 

 

Three categories

The financial aid breaks down into three categories, where top-tier teams (like Real Madrid) will receive an average payment of €10,000 per day (£8.4k/$10.7k). When looking at other teams in La Liga, the average range of financial compensation is €6,6790-3,300 (£5.6k-2.7k/$7.18k-3.5k) a day.

400,000 euros per player (maximum)

If a Real Madrid player reaches the final, the club chaired by Florentino Perez would take home €400,000 euros (£337k/$430k).

Coin by coin...

Of course, not everyone will reach the final, but every day that passes is more revenue for the Spanish club.

4.5 million in Qatar

To put it in perspective, during the last World Cup in Qatar, UEFA and FIFA had to pay Real Madrid just over €4.5 million (£3.7m/$4.8m). Money keeps flowing into the Santiago Bernabeu.
