After his very successful Olympic Games, Guerschon Yabusele will join the Sixers. To do this, the interior leaves Real Madrid and this departure is not free. The player had an exit clause – a “buyout” – of 2.5 million dollars.
That was the amount he had to pay so he could go to the NBA, knowing that American franchises can only pay up to $850,000. The rest, $1.65 million in the Frenchman's case, is therefore the player's responsibility.
For Real Madrid, this check for 2.5 million dollars is added to those already collected over the past decade in the context of these departures to the United States. The journalist Marco Pagliariccio has drawn up the list, with the sums, for ten years.
6 million for Facundo Campazzo in 2020
It starts in 2014, with Nikola Mirotic going to the Bulls. The Spanish club then gets $2.5 million. Two years later, it's $3 million to validate the departure of Sergio Rodriguez to the Sixers. In 2018, it's Luka Doncic who flies to the NBA and Dallas, in exchange for two million.
In 2020, a huge sum is being asked to release Facundo Campazzo to Denver: 6 million! Then 1.3 and 3 million in 2021, respectively for Gabriel Deck (Thunder) and Usman Garuba (Rockets). Finally, to conclude this list, Guerschon Yabusele this summer.
Now we take out the calculators and we get a total of 20.3 million dollars recovered by Real Madrid over ten years!
