The commentator of the channels Football1 / Football2 Kirill Krutorogov in detail tells about the transfer policy of Real for the last ten years - who, where and for how much.
In Real Madrid are preparing to spend a lot of money. For them, this is common, although the last few years, the Madrid club has conducted fairly modest transfer campaigns. The bet on talented Spanish youth is good, but from the point of view of investing in the future. This season only overcame the equator, and we already see that the current champion of Spain and the winner of the last two champions frankly fails him. Zinedine Zidane, surprisingly, categorically refuses transfers this winter, but there is a high probability that in the summer the team will not be either Zidane or some of the stars, which means that Florentino Perez will be well spent. Maybe he will try to make a galaxy 3. 0? We do not have much time left to wait, but for now let's remember the previous years and the work of Real in the transfer market. Vamos!.
2007-2008 The first version of "galaktikos" in the summer of 2007 finally came to naught. "Creamy" free veterans were released: Beckham, Roberto Carlos, Elger and the younger Pavone. And also received 37. 8M. euro for the sale of six players. Woodgate (10 million. , which previously cost them twice as expensive and most of the time spent in the infirmary), Cicinho (9 million. ), Diego Lopez (7 million. ), Emerson (5 million. ), Diogo (4. 5M. ) and Raul Bravo (2. 3M.
We spent Madrid decently - 119 million. The then president of the club Ramon Calderon laid out 36 million. for one of Arjen Robben's best right-wing insides of the time. For two years in Spain, the Dutchman did not become happy, and the transition from Real Madrid to Bavaria later called the best step in his career. 30M. went to sign Pepe. There are no questions and can not be - the Portuguese has fully completed this money.
The talented Dutch Wesley Sneijder cost Real Madrid 27 million. In the first season I showed myself very well, in the second season I was blown away and did not stay longer. It is unlikely that his transfer can be entered in the Real to the asset. They used to buy talented young people, but they did not get too upset if the diamond could not shine on Santiago Bernabeu. The unequivocal failure of the Madrid selection - Royston Drenthe. For the 20-year-old Dutchman paid 14 million. on the contract with Real Madrid, he spent five years, but during this time he played in their T-shirt only 46 matches. And at 30 already completed his career. 29-year-old Gabriel Heinze (12 m. ) were invited "just in case", for safety. Experienced tsentrbek kasha did not spoil, but also an important figure in the team did not. Two other famous players - Javier Saviola and Christoph Metzelder - joined Real Madrid in the status of free agents. Both were not useful. The Germans were prevented from injury, the Argentine - it is unclear what. But later on it was possible to earn. Real under the leadership of Bernd Schuster won the example, but early flew out of the Champions League and the Copa del Rey.
2008-2009 Madrid for 42 million. sold in Man City "new Pele" Robinho, another 12 rescued in a transfer Baptists in Roma. About 16 earned on small sales of graduates of its academy: Granero, Soldado and. Lovelace Cassano was released to Sampdoria for free. Given that the total amount of profit on transfers was 69. 7M. , and the amount of investments - 67 million. , Real even came out "plus".
Van der Vaart was worth 13 million. Not so much for a player of this caliber, and although he stayed in Madrid for only two years and a big star there did not, but looked very good. Javi Garcia, his own canterano, was returned from Osasuna for 4 million. , to later sell to Benfica for 7. But Ezekiel Garay and his price of 10 million. were a failure.
In the winter Ramon Calderon rolled out the last two transfers at the presidential post. $ 20 million. was paid for Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Lassana Diarra. The Dutchman with the transition to the top level failed, although in 20 matches, the Examples scored 8 goals, but after six months he was sent to Milan with a slight loss in money. And the Frenchman played for the "creamy" 117 matches of all tournaments, but only about half came out at the base. With the results of the team of Schuster, and after - Juande Ramos had problems. Result - 2nd place Examples and early departures from the Champions League and the Cup of Spain.
2009-2010 Florentino Perez returned to the position of president of the club, he took up the construction of a new "galaktikos". It was then that the "Dutch stage" of Real. They left Van Nistelrooy (for free), Robben (25 million. ), Huntelaar (15 million. ) and Sneijder (15 million. ) Javi Garcia and Saviola were sent to Benfica for a total of 12 million. Canterano Academy Dani Parejo and Miguel Torres changed the capital to a suburb - Getafe - and brought to the budget an additional 5 million. Veterans Cannavaro and Salgado became free agents. For nine players Real Madrid received 88. 5M. Euro. This amount covered a third of the cost of buying eight newbies.
A record 259 million euro was spent on transfers. Perez was chasing after those who were beaming and were at the hearing at the time - Cristiano Ronaldo (94 million. ), Kaka (65 million. ), Xabi Alonso (35 million. + 5 bonuses), Karim Benzema (35 million. Alas, once beautiful in Milan Kaka and did not closely resemble himself in Madrid. This money was wasted. The rest left a significant mark in the history of the club. Like the inexpensive Alvaro Arbeloa (4. 5M. But Raul Albiol and Esteban Granero, costing Real total 19. 5M. - no.
But the "creamy" continued to benefit from their pupils, who played in other teams. So, they activated the right of redemption from Almeria Negredo for 5 million. and immediately sold it to Seville three times more expensive. Without taking into account this profit and subsequent sales of Albiola with Granero, it can be said that only 32% of the money spent did not justify itself. The failure was the invitation of the entertainer Manuel Pellegrino. Passively worked in more modest Villarreal and Malaga, the Chilean was not ready to build "galaktikos" with superstars because of his modest status. As a result, all the tournaments were lost.
2010-2011 In the Real came Jose Mourinho, who was remembered by many ambiguous personnel decisions. The club left the last legends - Raul and Guti, as well as the long-needed Metzelder. Everything is free. As well as Mamadou Diarra. 11 million. managed to earn on the sale of van der Vaart (the loss for it was only 2 million.
It is interesting that of the players who came to Real Madrid for three years of stay at the helm of the Mourinho team, there are still only two in Madrid: Varan and Modric, all the others are gone. We focus attention, three players who ended up in Real Madrid before Mourinho - Ramos, Ronaldo and Benzema are still in the team, and with most of those whom the Portuguese coach wished to see, except for two, said goodbye.
In the summer of 2010 Real acquired Dee Maria (25 million. ), Ozila (15 million. ), Khedira (12 million. ), Pedro Leon (10 million. ), Carvalho (8 million. ) and Sergio Canales (4. 5M. Di Maria and Ozil were important figures of that Real, Khedira - as well, but until he began to interfere with injuries. Veteran Carvalho played only in the first season, but in general - added to the team experience. Young Leon and Canales clearly did not meet the level of "galaktikos", and wait until they grow, no one was going to. In the debut season of Mourinho "creamy" only won the Copa del Rey.
2011-2012 Real sold in Benfica Garay for 5. 5 million, and later received another 7. 5, when he moved from Lisbon to Zenit. One and a half earned on the rent of Canales and Gago. Spent, compared with the two previous seasons, modestly - 55 million. But most of the newcomers failed. Why, in the presence of one of the best left laterals of the world Marcelo (who in 5 years remains so), Mourinho wished to see Fabio Coentrau in the team, it is incomprehensible. It cost 30 million. , but this money did not justify. Like Nuri Shahin (10 million. And buying for the same amount of young little-known central defender Raphael Varan turned out great. Now the transfer fee of the Frenchman is several times more. Return from Hispaniola his pupil Jose Callejon for 5. 5M. became a continuation of the strategic campaign of Madrid in the transfer market. In addition, Real Madrid has championed the championship.
2012-2013 "Creamy" again refused to waste. 30M. for 26-year-old Luka Modric with his talent, efficiency and utility - even cheap, 4 million. for goalkeeper Diego Lopez - also a little. Moreover, exactly the same 34 million. Real brought Canales, Granero, Shaheen, Altintop, Gago and Diarra. But the results left much to be desired - all the tournaments were lost, except for the European Super Cup.
2013-2014 The team was led by Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid again played in the transfer market in a large. Gareth Bale on official information cost Madrid about 90 million. Euro. Perhaps, if it were not for the injury, the Welshman could have seriously strengthened the team, but for four years in Madrid he was more treated than played, and each of his match cost "creamy" about 1 million. Euro. Many consider his purchase a failure. But who could have known that a strong Briton in the Pyrenees would be tortured? 32 more. 2M. paid for Ilyarramendi. Simply wildly a lot, considering that for enchanting Isco gave 30, but he played in the Champions League (the contrast is felt and the transition for 30 million. one year ago Modrica). And here is 12. 5M. total for Karvakhal and Kazemiro - kopecks, given their youth and prospects. Both are now the leaders of the team and are much more expensive.
In addition, Real Madrid freeed Carvalho and Kaka. 6M. received from the sale of Pedro Leon, for 22 sent to Napoli Callejon and Albiola. There for 40 million. was sold to Higuain. At one time, "creamy" bought a promising Argentine for 12 million. The guy was a stable scorer, scoring almost every second match of all tournaments. Why was it selling - the logic of Peres is difficult to understand. Moreover, only for 40 million. Whereas they themselves have repeatedly paid much larger sums. Later, Higuain's father said that this was due to the "dislike" of Florentino Perez to the Argentines. Confirm or refute this view is impossible, but it has a place to be. In that season, Real Madrid won the long-awaited gum - the 10th European Cup.
2014-2015 "Creamy" definitely benefited from the transfer of Tony Kroos, buying it for only 25 million. Euro. Watching the transfer trends of Madrid, it is evident that most of the really cool players in the last decade they bought for relatively small amounts - up to 35 million. euro (exception - only Cristiano Ronaldo). Hamez Rodriguez cost Real on various data to 80 million. Euro. Cool goalkeeper Keilor Navas went for 10. But why did they buy Lukas Silva in the winter - a mystery. A riddle worth 14 million. Euro.
Spending for the season 130. 5M. on new players, Real Madrid almost came out in plus (114. 5M. Di Maria was sold to the United States for 75 million. (+50 million. profit), a pupil of Morat - for 20 million. in Juventus. Received 10 million. from the sale of Xabi Alonso, who really gave a lot to the team over time on the Santiago Bernabeu. Returned Nuri Shakhin Borussia for 7 million. (it lost only 3 million. Results left much to be desired. I managed to win only the Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.
2015-2016 The team for six months was headed by Rafael Benitez. Free sent Casillas and Khediru. Returned 15 million. for Asier Ilyarramendi (cost 32 million. Already then Real began to work for the future. Bought Mateo Kovacic for 29 million. It can not be said that he is currently playing for this money, but the guy is still young, and if in the near future the "creamy" decide to sell it - I think not only will go "to zero", but also earn. How to earn money in Danilo. He was bought for 31. 5M. Why in the presence of Carvajal? - it was incomprehensible. But a little later he was sold to ManCity for 36 million. Also, Madrid began to collect inexpensive, but bright stars - Asencio and Vallejo cost them in 8. 5M. Reserve goalkeeper Kasilju bought for 6. And only in 1 million they managed their own pupil Lucas Vazquez.
In January 2016 the reins of the team at Benitez were taken by Zinedine Zidane, who won the Champions League in the debut season.
2016-2017 One of the best seasons in the history of the club in terms of results. Real Madrid won all the tournaments except the Copa del Rey. At the same time, Madrid modestly worked in the transfer market, returning for 30 million. Alvaro Moratu. Also they unimaginably "fused" in PSG for 25 million. Hes, who did not return to his former form after a cruciate ligament injury. On the pupils: Cheryshev, Omar and Medrane earned another 9. 5M. As a result, on transfers went into a plus.
2017-2018 The "plus" of the previous season should be substantially multiplied, because in the summer of 2017 Real sold Alvaro Morat for 80 million (eventually +70). Another 18 earned on pupils - Mariano, Burgi and Diego Llorente. As mentioned above, it was profitable to sell Danilo and rented to Bavaria Hamas Rodriguez, rescuing 13 million. If the German club wants to buy out a Colombian, they will have to shell out another 35 million. It is unlikely that it will be possible to repulse the transfer value of Hames to Madrid, but to significantly reduce the loss - quite.
Also, Real Madrid bought young Seballos and Theo Hernandez for 40. 5M. Yes, they are not ready for the first team yet. But obviously, when the time comes to sell them "creamy" just will not go into negative.
It is generally accepted that Real is extremely wasteful in the transfer market. However, tracing their transitions for the last ten years, it does not at all seem. The main failure for this time - Kaka - out of 65 million paid for it, failed to return a penny. Also, it is not yet possible to evaluate the transition of Gareth Bale. He is still in the team, perhaps he did not say the last word. And if it goes away, then for sure Real Madrid partially compensates for the investments. In most other cases, even if the player could not play, he parted with him, returning a certain amount. In addition, Madrid has earned a lot on Morata, Ozil and Di Maria. And regularly have some profit from the sale of their pupils.
Let this point does not give a grandiose inflow of money, but, I think, more covers the difference of those most unsuccessful transfers (with the exception of Kaka and Bale). Another thing is that from the point of view of the results Real is very lack of stability. Hold on to the very top of Madrid can not and for the big victories come painful setbacks.
