How many millions has Real Madrid spent on signings in the 21st century

Discover the astonishing amount Real Madrid has spent on transfers throughout this century

To achieve all its greatest successes throughout the 21st century, Real Madrid has had to sign important players. While some of its legends are well-known academy graduates, the club has spent a significant amount on signings. According to Transfer News Live, Real Madrid has spent €2.291 billion during this century.

An impressive amount that, even so, is much more surprising as it's only enough to be in sixth place in the ranking. In the list of clubs that have spent the most throughout this century, Real Madrid isn't even in the top 5. This is a surprising fact that clearly shows the club's great management of its finances.

Although Real Madrid has made multi-million signings, the vast majority of these have produced results that justify this spending. A clear example is Cristiano Ronaldo, who at the time was the most expensive signing in the history of this sport. Despite the significant outlay, the 4 Champions League titles won with the Portuguese player justified this transfer.

There is no one like Real Madrid

Since its foundation, Real Madrid has worked to increase its legend in the world of soccer. While the titles it has won are a clear sign of greatness, the club wouldn't have been able to win them without the support of excellent players. Even though Real Madrid has signed stars, the club has always kept a balance in its transfers.

By signing both established players and young prospects, the majority of its signings have been a complete success. In addition, Real Madrid has always managed to stand out in the transfers it makes thanks to its strong negotiating ability. By always achieving the best possible price, the club makes sure to keep its financial situation stable.

Even with the significant spending it has made during this summer, Real Madrid wasn't one of the clubs that spent the most. For this and much more, everything Real Madrid has achieved throughout this century is impressive. While there are teams that spend a fortune to achieve success, the Merengue club has always been more astute with its moves.

The key to success

Even though this season is just beginning, Real Madrid is one of the favorites to win it all. Each and every one of the signings it has made during this summer have been more than successful. This is a clear sign that, unlike other teams, Real Madrid always signs intelligently.
