The signing of Jude Bellingham, announced this Monday by Real Madrid, exceeds one hundred million and ranks number two in a list of well-known white companies that, as always, have great successes and great failures. We examine them.
1
Eden Hazard
€115 million
The most expensive signing in the club’s history and, certainly, the worst. So, with one year left on his contract, the club decided to come to an agreement with the player to pay him half of what was left on his contract to ‘get rid’ of his services. paid to Chelsea 115 million and he hasn’t played a Classic in four years.
2
Jude Bellingham
€103 million
The talented English midfielder arrived as one of the best bets for the future of Real Madrid and, for now, will be evaluated based on his price, which has exceeded one hundred million for the third time in the history of the white club.
3
Gareth Bale
€101 million
Despite the fact that the Welshman’s last years at Real Madrid had more shadows than lights, his contribution to the team during the years of four Champions Leagues in five seasons is undeniable.
3
Cristiano Ronaldo
€94 million
The one who at the time was the most expensive signing in the history of the club and, ultimately, the top scorer in its history, was dropped to fourth place in this ranking with the entry of Jude Bellingham. Although the beginning was highly criticized, the price Madrid paid for the Portuguese was cheap and, in addition, they sold him nine years later for the same price in Juventus.
5
Aurelién Tchouaméni
80 million euros
He arrived last summer from Monaco and the French midfielder experienced in his first season another season except it was not entirely positive although it is normal to have to adapt to a new country, a new league and a new team .
6
Zinedine Zidane
€77.5 million
In his time he was also the most expensive signing in the club’s history and the first since Florentino Pérez began his legacy at Real Madrid. It is now ranked sixth on this list.
7
James Rodriguez
€75 million
After a fantastic World Cup in Brazil 2014 by the Colombian, James dressed in white for a figure that, years later and given his performance, is not entirely accurate.
8
bro
€67 million
The Brazilian midfielder arrived from Milan as one of the great jewels of world football and injuries prevented him from giving his best version at Real Madrid despite the fact that he arrived with the Ballon d’Or under his belt of his arm.
9
luka jovic
€63 million
Another failure on the list as the Serbian, after three seasons at the club, went to Fiorentina for free and was not the player Real Madrid expected
10
Luis Figo
€60 million
In the last position of the list can be seen the most mediatic signing for what it means to go from FC Barcelona to Real Madrid. If this year Real Madrid will sign ‘9’, they could possibly fall out of the top 10.
