Real Madrid spends 181 million euros to spend the most lively summer transfer period in six years

As of the summer, Real Madrid has spent a total of 181 million euros on new aid. This expenditure accounts for nearly half of the club's total investment of €390 million in La Liga. La Liga investment.

Their latest deal is to introduce defender Alvaro Carreras from Benfica, with a transfer fee of €50 million. However, most of the transfer budget is focused on strengthening the defense line, which was a weakness of the team last season as many players were injured. New players worth noting include:

Dean Hesson: 58 million euros

Alvaro Carreras: 50 million euros

Franco Mascantone: 63 million euros (midfielder)

Comparison with past and opponents

181 million euros will turn this summer into Real Madrid's most expensive transfer window in the past six years. Since that bustling summer shopping in 2019, the White Legion has only spent more than 100 million euros at one time in the 2023-24 season (spending 134.5 million euros), mainly on the "Galaxy Battleship" Jude Bellingham. The 181 million euro figure is also the club's third largest spending in the past 16 years.

This outbreak is completely the opposite of the previous five seasons (2020-21 to 2024-25). At this stage, Real Madrid spent only 303.5 million euros, ranking only 39th in global spending, even less than Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli and Fulham. Atletico Madrid spent €451.7 million in the same time, and Barcelona also spent €431.5 million despite financial difficulties. Up to 17 English clubs spend more than Real Madrid.

Franko Mastuno joined Real Madrid from Riverbed for a contract of 63 million euros and came to the Bernabeu Stadium.

After a period of rational consumption and a perfect balance of income and income, Real Madrid is now back in the financial competition with Premier League giants. So far, only Chelsea and Liverpool have spent more this summer than Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has decided to "open the bottle" after a season without a major championship. The message is very clear: they are ready to invest heavily to update their lineups and compete for the highest honors.
