Real Madrid have started a new era under Xabi Alonso after Carlo Ancelotti left his post as Los Blancos boss at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
Los Blancos splashed the cash to make several new additions ahead of Alonso's first season, including the £50m arrival of Dean Huijsen from Premier League side Bournemouth.
They also recruited Alvaro Carreras, Franco Mastantuono and Trent Alexander-Arnold in what proved to be a productive window for the Spanish giants, although none of their new additions make the top 10 of Real Madrid's most expensive transfers.
Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the club's most expensive signings in their history.
