The International Champions Cup, the tournament hosted each summer for the big clubs in Europe and spread across Asia and America, is turning into a lucrative business for Real Madrid .
This time last year, after a whistle-stop tour in Australia and China, which raised some criticism from Zinedine Zidane, the club pocketed 20 million euros.
Three games this summer in Colombus, Ann Arbor (Michigan) and New Jersey will net Los Blancos 12m euros.
Not as much but this is mainly because China and Australia pay larger amounts and there is also a friendly less than last year.
Zidane's specific request for a tour with fewer hours of travel has been heeded however, and the team will return to the United States after completing their preparations in Montreal, Canada.
