Academy of Madrid Real fully pays for itself. According to the Spanish edition of AS, for the maintenance of youth teams of Blancos a year takes 20 million euros (5 million for Real Madrid Castile and 15 for other teams).
Starting with the sale of Jose Callejon five seasons ago to Napoli (for which 10 million euro was received), on the transfers of his pupils the Royal Club earned as much as 142.8 million euros.
A significant part of this amount was the recent transfer of Alvaro Morata, which cost Chelsea's London 80 million euros.
In total for this time 12 players who from early years were trained in Academy of Real.
It should be noted that during the same period, Barcelona earned 17 million euros (Bartra, Halilovic, Tello) for the sale of homegrown players, only 17 million euros, while Madrid Atletico (Theo Hernandez, Oliver Torres, Borja Baston, Javier Manquillo) - 73 million euros.
The fact that Real Madrid earns a lot on their own pupils does not mean that they are not used in the first team. Last season 40 goals and 33 assists were on the account of players who have in their active performances in the youth teams of the club.
In the first team this season will perform Carvajal, Casillia, Ruben Yagnes, Nacho, Kazemiro, Llorente, Vazquez and Mayoral.
