Real Madrid's most expensive signings ever: Will Los Blancos spend in January?

Real Madrid have recruited some of the best players in the history of the sport, with many of the biggest names in football representing Los Blancos.

The most expensive signing in Real Madrid's history is Eden Hazard, but it would be fair to say that the Belgium international did not show his best form at Bernabeu.

Indeed, Hazard left having only managed seven goals and 12 assists in 76 appearances in all competitions.

Jude Bellingham moved into second spot in the all-time list when he completed a move from Borussia Dortmund, and the England international has had an impressive start to his career with the kings of the European Cup.

The January transfer window is now open, and it will be be fascinating to see whether Los Blancos boost their squad for the second half of the campaign.

Any major deals are likely to be on hold until the end of the season, and a signing needs to be more than £51m to be placed on the following list.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the club's most expensive signings in their history.
