Real Madrid promise their player bigger reward than Champions League if they win Club World Cup | OneFootball

According to a recent report from AS, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has promised a massive reward for his players if they lift the FIFA Club World Cup trophy. Each player will receive a bonus of €1 million if they win the tournament.

This is the biggest bonus Real Madrid have ever offered for such a short competition. The club wants to leave no doubt about how serious they are about winning this title, and the bonus shows just how much they value this tournament.

Perez made it clear to everyone at the club that the Club World Cup is not just another competition or a pre-season trip. For Real Madrid, this competition is almost as important as the Champions League.

Perez’s message has spread throughout the squad, motivating the players even more, especially after the recent change in manager, which has already shaken things up in the dressing room.

For what it is worth, this generous bonus is a clear sign of how important this trophy is for Real Madrid. It is not just about the money, but about sending a strong message of ambition.

The club sees the Club World Cup as a key part of their season and not a distraction. They want their players to give everything to bring the trophy back to Madrid.

Financially, this bonus is well within the club’s reach. Real Madrid have already earned €55.16 million from their progress so far in the competition, including qualifying and the round of 16 wins and there is much more to offer if they keep winning.

Interestingly, the decision to offer such a big prize also highlights the club’s tense relationship with UEFA.

By offering a bonus on par with what they give for the Champions League, Real Madrid are making it clear how seriously they take this competition, regardless of what European football’s governing body might think.
