I can say that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been successful in this transfer market. Real Madrid became the most successful club because they managed to get one of the best strikers in the world today, Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer. Atletico Madrid managed to get Julian Alvarez from City. I also agree that Alvarez is a player that Simeone really needs to perfect his tactics this season. And finally, there is good news for Barcelona fans because they managed to get Dani Olmo. But there is news that Barcelona still cannot register Olmo because they still cannot meet the FFP rules.

If we have to talk about the most successful team in La Liga during the transfer market, I don't think Barcelona can be included among the teams that were able to sign the players they want to strengthen their performance, If I am not mistaken, Barcelona had only signed Olmo since the transfer market was open, and Barcelona is unable to register him due to La Liga rules. On the other hand Atletico Madrid has been the top club that has spent a lot of money to get more players to improve their performance and Real Madrid hasn't spent anything in the transfer market because they already had the players they needed for next season.

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.

Of course, no one expected PSG to release Mbappe to another club as a free agent, Mbappe is the club's highest-paid player, so everyone was shocked that PSG lost him for free, despite the fact that he signed a new contract last season. Mbappe did the right thing by terminating his contract with PSG since Real Madrid would not spend such amounts to sign a single player, it was also for his own good because Mbappe was eager to join Real Madrid, and if he did not terminate his contract, he would not have been able to join his dream club.
