The last two days have been quite hectic in Valdebebas. After the departures of Marco Asensio, Mariano, and Eden Hazard were revealed yesterday, there was a surprise today that made headlines around the world. Karim Benzema, the reigning Ballon d'Or winner, will leave Real Madrid too. Despite the fact that the Frenchman had the option to renew his contract automatically until 2024, and everything indicated that this would be the case, the Frenchman will face Athletic Club today in his final game as a Merengue player after 14 seasons in Madrid.

All of these exits have helped the club to save a large amount of money in salary that they may utilize for future signings in this summer market and confront the transition that the club desired.

Real Madrid will save 75 million euros in total. With Marco Asensio's departure, it means 9 million euros gross, 9 million Mariano, and the exits of Karim Benzema and Eden Hazard (28 and 30 million, respectively) will provide the biggest relief to the coffers. Surely, a sizable money that can be utilized to fund the arrivals of Fran Garca, Jude Bellingham, and all the other signings expected this summer.
