After failing on all the tables in 2024-2025, Real Madrid had to react as quickly as possible and did not hesitate to get their hands in the pocket during this summer transfer window to strengthen itself. Fucker that will have cost the Merengues dearly, which for the moment have their most expensive transfer window in six years, with a total of 178 million euros paid. In question, the recruitments of the central defender Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth, € 58 million), the laterals Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool, € 7 million) and Álvaro Carreras (Benfica, € 50 million), as well as the arrival of the Argentinian environment Franco Mastanuono (River Plate, € 58 million) which will not join the Madrid staff.

These 178 million euros, which represent almost half of the 390 million invested by all the Liga clubs this summer, are still far from the cumulative investment of more than 500 million euros over two years, in 2018-2019. Years during which the White House had welcomed several players who became essential elements to conquer many titles: Thibaut Courtois, Vinicius, Éder MilitĂŁo or Rodrygo. The newspaper AS Recalls that since the summer of 2019, Real has only exceeded 100 million euros once, especially in 2023-2024 to recruit Jude Bellingham (€ 103 million fixed more than € 30.9 million of bonuses, a third of which would have already been reached). Very cautious in the rest of his transfer window, President Florentino PĂ©rez would be ready to increase the invoice only for two very specific targets.
