According to AS, the Real Madrid academy has generated 189 million euros from player sales this summer, marking the most lucrative summer in the club's history for academy revenue. This figure is expected to continue rising, as negotiations remain ongoing at Real Madrid City. "This will be a historic summer," the club predicted not long ago—a prediction that has proven accurate, with multiple transfer windows still open. Not all negotiations will result in departures, but further moves are anticipated. The changes to Castilla's squad for the new season are already significant and could expand further before the transfer window closes.
The futures of David Jiménez, Manuel Ángel, Jorge Sestero, Dani Yáñez, and Jacopo Ortega remain uncertain. These potential departures could push total academy revenue past 200 million euros. For some players, their time at Madrid has ended—such as Palacios, who has joined Fulham. Others may spend one final season in the Primera Federación (third tier) to pursue opportunities in LaLiga 2. However, any player could depart if suitable offers arrive. With key players already leaving, Castilla will need to rebuild its core.
David Jiménez and Manuel Ángel, both born in 2004, made first-team appearances last season and have drawn significant offers from Spanish and foreign clubs. Jiménez, a full-back, is highly sought after in Spain and Germany. Manuel Ángel, Castilla's captain, has attracted interest from Deportivo La Coruña and Alavés, among others, but his suitors extend far beyond these clubs. Neither has begun pre-season training with the reserve team.
For Jacopo Ortega and Jorge Sestero, both born in 2006, France represents their primary opportunity. Ortega, a striker who impressed in the UEFA Youth League, is being closely monitored by Strasbourg, which has offered 8 million euros for 50% of his rights. According to internal sources, this deal is "heating up." Sestero, a midfielder who made his first-team debut last season, is a top target for Lille and is viewed as a potential replacement for Bouhadi, who may join Manchester City. Bouhadi's departure could, in turn, help fill gaps created by Rodrygo's potential move to Barcelona.
Dani Yáñez, born in 2007, is the youngest among the pending departures. Unlike Yáñez, Thiago Pitacchio, another academy prospect, received multiple offers including from Fulham but will remain at the club. José Mourinho wants him in the first-team squad. Yáñez has participated in first-team pre-season training this summer and holds several top offers but has yet to decide on his future. Under López de Lerma's guidance next season, he could become a key player. Additionally, one or two other surprise departures may yet occur. While Castilla's player attrition has been severe, further exits remain possible.

So you don't understand the statement.. well let me help you . all they mean was that the gap that is there(midfield) which they wanted to fill with Rodri from Man City who's also know as Rodrigo could eventually be filled with someone since Rodri is now having the potential to move to Barcelona from Man City
Thank you for taking the time to explain ......but it's Rodrigo not Rodrygo. One alphabet and the player himself changed.

Bouhadi's departure could, in turn, help fill gaps created by Rodrygo's potential move to Barcelona. Which Rodrygo are you talking about?
