Real Madrid Triggers Release Clause to Land Spanish Talent

Martinez found the net in Racing's opening La Liga fixture, a 2-2 draw against Villarreal, but is expected to initially feature for Real Madrid's reserve squad. "Real Madrid will pay the full amount stipulated in the player's contract as a release clause," Racing announced on social media.

The Spanish giants made several significant signings this summer, including the record acquisition of Yan Diomande. Real Madrid has, notably, gone two consecutive seasons without securing a major trophy. Jose Mourinho's squad has started the new campaign brilliantly, boasting a perfect nine points after three La Liga matches.
