Real Madrid is set up for a “Galactico” signing in the summer, with Mbappe and Haaland on the schedule.
Real Madrid’s Galacticos era began in 2000 when club president Florentino Perez implemented a strategy to draw top players in an effort to boost the team’s on-field performance and appeal to a worldwide fan base.
Real Madrid is still thought of as Europe’s melting pot of elite players, even though the focus has recently shifted to developing young players.
Real Madrid is looking to acquire a Galactico.
AS claims that Madrid is focusing on Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland as they prepare to sign a Galactico next summer because of their improved financial situation.
There will probably be a statement signing, particularly now that Karim Benzema has left for Saudi Arabia. The report describes Madrid’s financial situation in detail and contains information suggesting a major player move is likely.
Real Madrid reportedly has €265 million in credit facilities that aren’t yet fully utilized in addition to €128 million in cash.
In addition, the team has reduced its payroll, enabling it to adhere to La Liga’s rules regarding financial fair play.
According to the Efficiency Ratio, which the European Club Association (ECA) uses to evaluate the financial standing of its member clubs, a club’s total personnel costs cannot be greater than 70% of its total revenue.

Madrid spent 72% of its salary on salaries during the previous season; however, in the most recent approved accounts, that percentage fell to 54%.
The total revenue has increased by 17%, while salary expenditures have decreased. This has made the environment more conducive than ever for the arrival of a star player.
Renovations at Santiago Bernabeu will benefit the team.
Moreover, the arrival of high-profile signings is guaranteed by the new Santiago Bernabeu.
Not only does the club anticipate making €939 million in revenue this season, but more importantly, it anticipates making €317 million from stadium operations—nearly €150 million more than it was previously generating.
Revenues are predicted to soar since the stadium can accommodate NFL games, major sporting events, and extra seating. With all of these proceeds, megastars will be able to be signed.
Real Madrid will be keeping an eye on the two players who are currently at the top of the wishlist, Mbappe and Haaland, for a possible summer arrival.
