On the occasion of the last general assembly of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez made more than complimentary remarks about the Merengue team. “Madrid is hungry for titles. Today, the team has six players from the academy, which is an essential part of our club’s identity. It is the best training center in the world, 191 trained players play professional football. CIES confirms that it is the most prolific training center in Europe. »
On paper, no one can prove the Madrid boss wrong. But behind the scenes, everything is not rosy. Quite the contrary. Relevo has just revealed that anger is growing among Casa Blanca recruiters. Responsible for combing the four corners of Spain to unearth the talents of tomorrow, they have the obligation not to miss any emerging gem. Except that Real Madrid would not offer them rewarding conditions for their work.
Madrid too stingy?
Some also believe that “a lot of work is done for nothing”. The reason? A lot of detailed reports are made, but are almost never consulted. Real Madrid would also have invested a certain amount of money in an application allowing greater control over all these detected profiles, but this tool would be very poorly used. Then, several parts of Spain would gradually be abandoned in favor of other regions. Then comes the crux of the matter: the financial aspect.
These recruiters, for whom this is not their main job, are paid up to €500 per month. A salary that they do not consider high enough due to the large number of hours spent, particularly on weekends, for this mission. All this without counting on the meetings to follow and above all on the responsibility of not letting any talent slip through their nets. Finally, they criticize the Merengue club for not helping them financially for the maintenance of their vehicle, an essential tool for their mission, and that the price of mileage has remained the same for years, without taking into account the increase in price. gasoline for example. Clearly, this is not the year of Real Madrid!
