Real Madrid appears set to benefit financially from a Premier League club's interest in a former Castilla starlet, according to Radio Galega. Nottingham Forest have shown interest in Celta Vigo defender Javi Rueda, a player who passed through Real Madrid's youth system. The English club's interest in the 23-year-old comes with a release clause worth over €30 million.
As Real Madrid's habit of including sell-on clauses in most Castilla sales they make continues, the club could walk away with a 50% windfall from the future transfer fee. If the transfer were to happen for €30 million, Madrid's 50% share would be worth around €15 million. This strategy of preserving future economic rights when allowing talented academy players to leave has proven beneficial for Real Madrid.
Javi Rueda could become another example of this successful approach, potentially providing financial relief for the club's transfer plans and contributing to their squad needs.
