Yes that's right. Real Madrid is very smart and very experienced in recruiting players in recent years, they can even get players for free and have a very good impact on the team. Just look, in the last few years, Real Madrid has managed to recruit several players for free, such as David Alaba 2021, Antonio Rudiger 2022, and Kylian Mbappe 2024. Maybe next season they will also get defender Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich for free.
When buying players, Perez takes a direct approach to his players. Currently Alphonso Davies only has 1 year remaining on his contract and it is very likely that he will not extend his contract, so Real Madrid could get him for free if Bayern Munich does not sell him immediately. Real Madrid wants to buy at a price below that offered by Bayern Munich.
If we talk about Barcelona, they failed to transfer players and had a financial crisis, but they bought players at high prices and high salaries so that Barcelona's finances are currently unstable. Next season Real Madrid will still dominate LaLiga because their squad is better than Barcelona at the moment.
Transfer histories of Real Madrid seems only Eden Hazard is not effective transfer after many top players recruitment success reach their top performance, Florentino Perez looks smart looking for most potential transfer from with frees transfer players from David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger and Kylian Mbappe. Real Madrid more efficient when signing some players although spending much money but most of them can reach the highest top perform level how did by Jude Bellingham this season after Madrid spend him above 130 million euro.
Next season, Real Madrid will arrive new recruitment beside Kylian Mbappe as free agent has young players Endrick will give positive impact or not although his performance keep consistency with Palmeiras and Brazil national team. Barcelona difficult to follow with success signed of Real Madrid because spend much money when signing some players but have sell them more than 50% decreasing values when first time signing them. I think Barcelona need learn more how effective transfer did by Real Madrid and try adopting to make efficient by selling them later higher than fee spending from signing.
