But it can't be denied that for now the most successful is Madrid. We can see when comparing the costs incurred in the transfer this time Atletico had to spend at least approximately 140 million for Julian Alvarez, Sorloth and Robin Le Normand even though the price was quite a bit actually with the arrival of the players they did at this time. Barcelona had to spend 60 million on Pau Victor and Dani Olmo this time although that is also a price that seems normal for player fees. But if the comparison is with Madrid then obviously Madrid is much more profitable in the transfers they are doing at the moment they spend around 47 million but they get a player of Mbappe's caliber on a free transfer and of course Endrick who they brought in quite expensive although I don't really like his style which seems a little arrogant but I think he can be very reliable especially with his young age at this time.

Yes, when compared in terms of financial expenditure, Real Madrid is much more efficient and effective in this transfer window. El Real managed to get Mbappe for free and only spent a little money to bring in Endrik. What is interesting in my opinion is the breakthrough from Atletico Madrid, Simione is really very ambitious by bringing in young players who have quite impressive experience. Julian Alvarez is the right striker and will make a big contribution to the team. Barcelona also did not remain silent, even though they were hit by a storm of financial crisis, they were still able to get two important players. Olmo is a figure who was able to make a breakthrough with the Spanish National Team at Euro 2024 and his presence is certainly expected to be able to bring El Barca back to being able to compete with their eternal rivals Real Madrid.

Madrid success in recruiting Mbappe for free from PSG was a big surprise, no one expected PSG to lose their most valuable asset for nothing. Madrid bargaining power in every competition is an attraction for every player, so they are willing to leave and do not care about the bonuses offered. We know that in the past Madrid also often suffered big losses, because the players they recruited at high prices failed to meet expectations. However, in this transfer window, it must be admitted that they really succeeded. It is not an easy job to build an ideal squad, although financially many clubs can buy any player.

Barcelona and Atletico are also trying to build the depth of their respective squads, so that in terms of strength they are not far behind Madrid. This time among all the La Liga contestants, it seems that Atletico is the club that spends the most budget in the transfer window, Barcelona cannot do it because they are experiencing a financial crisis. Barcelona management and top brass cannot fulfill all of Hansi Flick wishes, I think this is understandable. Having good squad depth does not guarantee instant success, we have learned from Girona journey last season.
