    Top Transfer Fee Spenders of the last decade

    Post by bluenine on Mon Aug 09, 2010 10:37 am

    I wonder if anyone has the list... it would be interesting to see the top 20! Real is kinda expected...

    Barca have spent more than Chelsea?? Thats a lot of money considering a large part of their starting XI is home grown!

    Real Madrid top spenders over the last decade with over £800m of signings
    Florentino Perez takes Los Blancos spending to the extremes...
    By Andrew McLean

    Real Madrid are the top spenders in European and world football, having spent over £831 million (€1,000m) in the last decade on transfer fees, as revealed by Marca today.

    There is no other club on the planet that has come close to this figure, despite Roman Abramovich's best efforts at Chelsea and Manchester City's new found extravagence.

    President Florentino Perez took over in 2000 and has been in the presidential throne at the club for all but three years in the last decade, when Ramon Calderon took over the role in 2006.

    This season's reinforcements have tipped the total over the £831m (€1,000m) mark with the signings of Sami Khedira, Sergio Canales, Pedro Leon and Angel Di Maria costing just over £41.5m (€50m).

    Over the course of the decade los Blancos have spent huge sums of money on single transfers. Cristiano Ronaldo (£80m), Zinedine Zidane (£50m) and Kaka (£56m) are the three most expensive of a total of 48 signings. Last season two of those, Ronaldo and Kaka contributed to a whopping £211m (€254m) being spent in one year.

    In comparison, Barcelona have spent £593m (€713m) while Roman Abramovich spent £540m (€650m) over the same period with Chelsea. However, Manchester City have begun a Madrid type spending spree over the last three years totalling £318m in the Premier League.

    I hate that they never take into account fees received and wage spend.

    Very true... usually wages are the real damage.

    It would be fascinating to study the transfer fee income and expenditure, and the wage costs of the top clubs over the last decade... I wonder if anyone has done a study on it...

    People seem to forget that we haven't spent that much (by comparison to other CL clubs) since buying Shevchenko. Bosingwa, Anelka and Ramires are, I believe, the only "> £10m" buys in the last 4 years.

    I was thinking Malouda had signed in 2006 but he was still only about £12m. Not as ridiculous as the spending pre-2006 (i.e. Wright-Phillips).

    Forgot about Zhirkov. So far has to go down as being a waste of money. Hopefully he proves me wrong, but if Cole is staying I don't see him making the team.

    Zlatan and Messi are both on approx €10 million per year. I don't know about the rest of the players (I'm assuming there are also players at Real Madrid - e.g. Ronaldo, Kaka, Casillas - who earn similar figures).

    We spent a lot but we sell really well so it doesn't matter.

    Beckham
    Ruud
    Ronaldo
    Heinze

    Probably take up a lot of Madrid's spend and it all went to us.
