As: The return of A-fee high price proves the importance of Real Madrid setting a repurchase price for young players

July 22, The Ass reported that the high return of A fee proves the importance of Real Madrid's implantation of buyback clauses in young players' contracts.

Five years ago, A Fee was still the hope star of Real Madrid Youth C team, and now he has entered the first team. If the intermediate details are omitted, this seems to be just another perfect story of Real Madrid's youth training, but in the past five years, Real Madrid paid up to 50 million euros in transfer fees to "redeem" Benfica, a former player who had left the team for free.

This huge expenditure highlights the club's control strategy of youth training pearls, and avoids replacing expensive repurchases such as A fee through repurchase terms, priority refusal and 50% ownership.

In 2020, 17-year-old A Fee was suppressed by the "New Marcelo" Gutierrez and chose to join Manchester United. At that time, Real Madrid failed to set any future terms. Now he has become an exceptional counter-examination of the club's youth training policy, while Carvajal, who repurchased from Leverkusen for 6.5 million euros in 2013 and Fran Garcia, who activated the 50% ownership clause for 5 million euros, is a successful case. Guarantee clauses have been implanted in the contracts of players such as Nico Pas and Jacob Ramon to ensure the club's future initiative.
