Real Madrid saves $77 million from departing players

In recent years, the subject of the salary cap has been mainly associated with Barcelona, but Real Madrid have also been constrained by the demands of La Liga.

Next season Real Madrid will be able to act much more freely on the salary budget as in the last two days alone the club managed to reduce the salary cap of the players by 77 million dollars.

The reason for this is the parting with Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Mariano Diaz and Eden Hazard. The four leave at the end of this season, with the first three’s contracts expiring and not being renewed, while the Belgian’s contract will be terminated a year before it expires.

Thus, Real Madrid will save the following amounts from the wages of the four players: 10 million from Asensio, 20 million from Mariano, 30 million from Hazard and 17 million from Benzema.
