According to Marca, Real Madrid's current lineup has an average age of 25 years old, the youngest of this century.

Florentino quietly planned a "youth storm" and gradually built the youngest lineup of Real Madrid in nearly 20 years. After Modric, 39, and Vasquez, 34, and Mastantono, 18, and Wyson, 20, joined, the team further rejuvenated, with an average age reaching 25.07, which is the youngest Real Madrid lineup since the 1997-98 season (24.88 years old).

During his first time as Real Madrid president (2000-2006), his transfer strategy was to introduce superstars in the world, with Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo and Beckham all being won by him. Since his second time as Real Madrid chairman (2009-), Florentino's strategy has become more forward-looking. However, there is an unwritten rule during both term, that is, no signing players over the age of 30, with only a few exceptions, such as Ricardo Carvalho (2010), Diego Lopez (2013) and Joselu (2023).
