Real Madrid's total shopping in the summer of 2025 is not equal to the spending of Sunderland just promoted the Premier League. The Madrid Capital team could not match his “big” and expanded, La Liga was falling too far from the Premier League.
Real Madrid is the most expensive team on the planet according to the latest announcement of the famous Magazine Forbes and is the team holding the record for the number of UEFA Champions League championships. In general, the reputation of the Madrid capital team is hard to dare to compare. However, if talking about spending in the summer market this year, they are nothing compared to the Premier League teams.
According to statistics, Real Madrid spent 167 million euros into the transfer market in the last market. In particular, their most expensive deal is the contract signed with center -back Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth Club with a transfer fee of 62.5 million euros. That figure is too modest, not equal to the total spending to strengthen the force of Sunderland – the newly promoted Premier League team has “burned” 187 million euros into shopping.
La Liga was once a paradise for foreign players and Real Madrid was the dream destination of any world's top star. From Zindine Zidane, David Beckham, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe … have arrived in the past in turn to attach his name to the shimmering “galaxy” of President Florentino Perez. But La Liga is now too poor and Real Madrid is also “tying their belts”, even though they are not so bad that they fall into the scene of “eating every day” as “Barca's enemy”.
If Real Madrid is next to the strongest Premier League spending team in the summer of 2025, many people will be startled because of the terrible difference. Liverpool is the shopping record of this shopping period, when spending up to 483 million euros to recruit soldiers forever. In particular, the case of buying striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle has consumed about 145 million euros, which is almost equal to the total transfer fee of Real Madrid this summer.
The unimaginable difference between Real Madrid and Liverpool is also an overview of the 2025 summer market of the two football tournaments that have been brought out for many years to see what is the most attractive tournament on the planet. According to Transfermarkt statistics, La Liga teams targets 696 million euros to buy players in the last few months of summer. That figure is about a fifth of the money that 20 Premier League teams have invested in shopping.
Notably, La Liga is not only poor compared to the Premier League, but considering that in the top of the top 5 leagues in Europe, they are also very modest. Specifically, the football tournament was the pride of the Spaniards only spending more than Ligue 1 – the tournament poured 571 million euros into the transfer market. La Liga ranked 4th, after the Bundesliga (spending 775 million euros shopping) and Serie A (spending 1.12 billion euros).
When the reporter base on this phenomenon, President La Liga – Mr. Javier Tebas seemed quite indifferent. He declared eloquently that simply the “big” of Spain like Real Madrid felt that the squad was strong enough and not needed to be caught up in a shopping crazy. Tebas emphasized that buying and selling players before each season is only superficial, it is important when the season ends, which tournament will dominate in the European Cup.
Sharing the same opinion with Mr. Javier Tebas, President of Florentino Perez is confident that Real Madrid does not need to shop much because their current squad is capable to become a bright candidate for the championship in the UEFA Champions League this season. Although the “father” said that, but looking at the spending of La Liga this summer, many football lovers still feel the scene for the tournament that has been praised as “paradise for foreign players”.
