3 distinct ways in which Lionel Messi joining PSG benefits Real Madrid
By Sudhir Salvi
REAL MADRID WILL ESTABLISH A FINANCIAL SUPREMACY
Real Madrid are bound to sign one or both of Erling Haaland and, or Kylian Mbappe in the next year or so. The same cannot be said about Barcelona who are about to fail in registering four new signings this summer due to a terrible financial situation. Messi left for the same reason and the Blaugrana will undoubtedly suffer a major loss in fandom and ultimately revenue due to him.
Los Blancos, who already led the La Liga standings in terms of TV rights and sponsorship revenue will see there being an increased gulf in quality due to Messi’s departure in their favour. Atletico Madrid, in spite of making two Champions League finals and winning two La Liga crowns in the last decade, are reasonably behind- which means the competition is between Barca and Madrid.
With better finances, Real Madrid will be able to stitch a better bounce back from the coronavirus pandemic which has impacted them very badly. They will also be the grandest club in Spain at least until Barcelona resolve their innumerable issues- particularly in terms of finances. It will help Madrid build a better team too and replace their outgone legends in a quick and easy manner.
