While Europe's super clubs are spending hundreds of millions of pounds on new players each season, Real Madrid have proved savvy operators in the transfer market in recent years.
Their major summer signing this year, Kylian Mbappe, was signed on a "free" transfer from Paris Saint-Germain (albeit with a £120m signing fee), while Jude Bellingham's £88.5m arrival last summer is already being touted as a bargain. Factor in the fees paid for other stars – £39m for Rodrygo and £40m for Vinicius Jr – and Real Madrid's business seems impressive in the current market.
