Real Madrid sign goalkeeper Elias Ramirez for their Castilla team




Luca Zidane will face competition for the No.1 shirt at Real Madrid Castillathis season, following the signing of Elias Ramirez from Real Mallorca on Monday.

The two clubs agreed for the player to sign on a one-year deal for 100,000 euros, with no option to purchase the player permanently at the end of the agreement.

Ramirez is highly rated and tipped for a big future and, standing at 1.92 metres, he has been compared to both Thibaut Courtois and David De Gea already.

At just 18, Ramirez will also be eligible to feature in the UEFA Youth League for Guti's youngsters.

Vinicius Jr makes Real Madrid's plan clear

Los Blancos to prioritise the early detection of talent

While the transfer market across Europe has exploded in a way that few could have seen coming at the beginning of the summer, Real Madrid's purchase of Vinicius Junior has made clear their transfer market plan.

The early identification of talent has been absolutely crucial to Los Blancos over recent seasons with the most notable achievement in this regard being Marco Asensio.

Asensio's signing cost Real Madrid just 3.5 million euros in 2014 but it is now quite fair to categorise him as a player worth more than 100m euros given the current market.

Just how quickly the 21-year-old has developed in the Spanish capital has really energised those working behind the scenes at Valdebebas and there is now a real determination to identify such talents early and sign them before the market places them at unreachable levels.

Zinedine Zidane and Florentino Perez would have loved to have signed Kylian Mbappe this summer but ultimately his exposure at the top level of European football ensured Paris Saint-Germain were willing to offer the teenager such an astronomical salary, one which Real Madrid simply wouldn't try and compete with.

In 2017 it appears that the real value in the transfer market comes from as yet undiscovered gems and finding the next Mbappe is what Los Blancos have set their sights firmly upon.

Of course the 45m euros spent on Vinicius is clearly not cheap but the payment structure ensures that it is an investment and should he develop quickly and burst onto the mainstream scene then Real Madrid already have him secured.

Now, this isn't necessarily a new plan with the club having previous beaten a whole host of elite clubs including Bayern Munich and Barcelona to the signing of Martin Odegaard back in 2015.

The Norwegian playmaker is still trying to find his way and is currently on loan with Heerenveen in the Eredivisie but there remains hope in Madrid that he too will eventually develop and fulfil his potential.

Real Madrid is a global brand and as such their search for talent reaches every corner of the world because it is never clear just where the next superstar will emerge from.

In an era where transfer fees have gone crazy, Los Blancos are determined to be at the front of the queue when the next star does appear.

Adidas marketing team working wonders. Fantastic commercial.

 

A better Adidas sponsorship deal would be fantastic

 

Real Madrid income in 2016/17: 674.6 millon euros

The club's revenues grew 8.8% thanks to winning the League and European Cup double. Madrid foresee income of €690.3M in 2017-18.

Real Madrid will hold their Members General Assembly on 1 October, where they'll present their annual accounts for approval.

Record revenue for Real Madrid

And those financial statements will show record income for the 2016/17 season of 674.6 million euros, 8.8% more than the previous season. Profit before tax is 21.4 million euros. That growth is in part spurred by prize money rolling in from the LaLiga and Champions League double attained by Zidane's men.

Further income growth for Real Madrid

The club also reveals its forecast for 2017-18, with Real Madrid's bean counters foreseeing further growth, of 2.33%, to take revenues to 690.3 million euros, with profit of 48.6 million.

Winning trophies is always costly but worth it, we're not Arsenal. We do need to get better sponsorships, especially from Adidas.

 

Real Madrid boast €178m transfer budget

The financial outlook for Real Madrid following the double winning 2016/17 campaign has been revealed ahead of the club's Annual Assembly on October 1.

Real president Florentino Perez and his board of directors must gain official approval from the members to pass the budget, as well as its forecasts for the 2017/18 season.

Coming out of the previous campaign with a whole host of silverware, Los Blancos earned 674.6 million euros in operating income with operating profit amounting to 137.8m euros.

Furthermore, the treasury balance of Real Madrid is due to be settled at 178m euros, the second highest in club history as Zinedine Zidane holds vast swathes of transfer funds at his disposal.

While there was great success on the pitch, in reality this meant higher outlays in terms of expenses and bonuses, totalling 70m euros.

Operating income increased 8.8 percent year on year, excluding the capital gains of player sales, while club equity reached 463.5m euros, up 21.2m euros.

Profit after tax and securities was named as 21.4m euros for 2016/17.

Looking ahead to the end of the 2017/18 season, Madrid chiefs forecast earnings to expand to 690.3m euros with a pre-tax profit of 48.6m euros.

______________

50 ME+ increase in revenue is pretty good. Fly deal runs out at the end of this season. Gotta negotiate good shirt and kit sponsorship. Bernabeu renovation will be done by 2021 now as per Marca. A year later than expected with works starting in 2018.

 

http://www.espnfc.us/real-madrid/st...world-record-for-scoring-in-consecutive-games

We tied Santos' world record of 73 consecutive games with a goal scored. That record was set in 1963 by a Santos side that featured Pele.

Last time we did not score was the semi-final April 2016 where we tied Man City 0-0.

198 goals in 73 games. Amazing.

 

Amazing run. I wish we could stop conceding silly goals. Then we could completely take advantage of our scoring run. Lack of clean sheets is not necessarily due to our attacking style. Just due to silly individual mistakes of lack of concentration. Navas should have saved the goal yesterday and entire defense went to sleep during the thrown in from Levante.

 

Zidane's top 10 so far in minutes.

Dani will surely need a break soon. If not against Betis on Wednesday, I would suggest to do it against Alaves at the weekend who have started the season with 4 straight losses.

Says club reached an agreement to renew shirt sponsorship with Fly Emirates for 70 ME per year.

Haha just read this on Marca - reeks of Flo leaking to distract from recent results. Either way, he needs to take this into Adidas HQ slap it on the CEO's desk - "PAY ME MY MONEY."

 

First it was the Isco contract conspiracy and now this. Y'all need to chill.

Florentino and Zidane have enough good-will built up that we could go trophyless and the Bernabeu faithful would still stand behind them. They do not need to resort to leaks, especially after a few draws and a loss.

 

It's more than United and Barca's. We're back.

 

Lol no. Bernabeu would go headhunting even if it's Zidane and Florentino. Just that they would turn onto our attack and pressure Florentino into new attack signings.
