Real Madrid has kicked off the 2025 summer transfer window in aggressive fashion. With just weeks to go before the start of the 2025/26 season, the club has already completed several key signings to strengthen its squad under Xabi Alonso. But the big question remains: how much has the Spanish giant spent so far?

What is Real Madrid's total transfer spending?

Following the official signing of Álvaro Carreras from Benfica, Real Madrid has now invested a total of €178 million in new players this summer. It’s the club’s biggest spending spree since 2019, placing them once again among the top spenders in Europe.

Who are the new signings?

Here’s a breakdown of Los Blancos’ confirmed reinforcements for the new season:

• Álvaro Carreras (Benfica): Spanish left-back signed for €50 million.
• Dean Huijsen (Juventus): Spanish center-back brought in for €59.5 million.
• Franco Mastantuono (River Plate): Argentine attacking midfielder signed for €45 million.
• Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool): English right-back signed for around €10 million, taking advantage of his contract situation.

These signings significantly bolster the defensive line while also addressing future needs in the attacking midfield.

How did Real Madrid perform last season?

The 2024/25 campaign was underwhelming for the Madridistas. The team finished second in LaLiga, behind FC Barcelona, and was eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinals by Arsenal.

In the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, held in the United States, Real Madrid failed to reach the final after suffering a 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals. Despite entering the season with high hopes, the club ended the year without silverware—a result that clearly fueled their aggressive summer strategy.

With fresh faces and renewed ambition, Real Madrid is determined to bounce back and reclaim its place at the top of European football.
