#3 They don’t spend much anymore
Once upon a time, Real Madrid spent money like no other club. Signing all the big-name players for huge money, they were the original Galacticos—the real reason why the market is what it is today: inflated.
It is funny how times change. Back then, Real were the biggest spenders in the market and now they are among the least flamboyant clubs when it comes to shopping for footballers. The likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Manchester United, and even Barcelona have outspent the Blancos over the last few years.
In the last window, they sold Alvaro Morata and let go of James Rodriguez on loan and bought no-one else to fill the void that was created by the departure of the two. Their net spend has been negative for the last two seasons and we are quite astounded by that.
