Real Madrid failed to meet the budget for the 2021-22 season.

2PlayBook reports that Royal club's budget for players and staff members rose to €41.0 million this past season, and it was €10.24 million more than in 2020-21.

Real closed the last season with €31.1 million in losses, the largest amount in the team's history. It was €12.21 million more than the previous season.

2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22 losses combine for €102.84 million.

Since the 2017-18 season, Real has been shrinking their basketball section budget. However, this past campaign it shot up to €50.82 million.

Bonuses, contract termination with Pablo Laso, and Gabriel Deck's signing were the main reasons behind such numbers.

Real Madrid reportedly plan to have a 22% cut in payroll for the 2022-23 season. They also expect an income of €18.0 million and losses up to €23.6 million.

Could we get some clarifications on how this is possible ? Is the football section covering for the losses of the basketball section ?
