Real Madrid is preparing for significant spending as the summer transfer window nears its end, which could necessitate further player sales. Both Yan Diomande and Rodri could be on their way to the Bernabeu in lucrative transfers. If these moves materialize, it would be prudent for the club to raise additional funds to maintain financial stability.
So far this summer, Real Madrid has secured a substantial influx of cash, primarily through the activation of several sell-on clauses, including those related to players like Victor Munoz (€20m) and Alvaro Rodriguez (€12.5m). Additionally, they sold Nico Paz for €60m to Como after triggering their €9m buy-back option, but there remains potential for further profit.

A player who could generate additional revenue is Alvaro Carreras. The defender, who has not impressed new head coach Jose Mourinho, has been linked with a possible transfer recently, and according to MD, Chelsea is among the clubs showing the most interest at this time.
Xabi Alonso Sparks Chelsea’s Interest in Carreras
Chelsea is seeking a new left-back following the sale of Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid, and head coach Xabi Alonso has identified Carreras as his preferred option. The former Real Madrid manager is eager to work with the player he acquired last summer, offering the Bernabeu club an opportunity to recuperate a substantial portion of the €60m they paid for Cucurella just weeks earlier.
Real Madrid has already moved one left-back this summer in Fran Garcia. With Ferland Mendy currently injured, selling Carreras could be a gamble. However, it should be noted that Eduardo Camavinga – who is not interested in leaving despite not being favored by Mourinho – can also play as a left-back, increasing the chances for Chelsea to finalize a deal for the former Benfica player.
