It was recently announced that Kylian Mbappe has agreed a deal to sign for Real Madrid in the summer.
Madrid are one of the most illustrious clubs in history and have made it a tradition to make regular marquee signings, which has lead them to great success on the European stage.
The most recent major signing that Madrid have made is Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, and he has been the clubs best player this term while already showing that he could be one of the worlds best in years to come.
Aside from Mbappe, we picked out five of the biggest transfers that the Spanish side have made over the years.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo signing for Madrid is arguably one of the most iconic transfers ever made, being the current all-time record goal scorer at the club and guided them to win four UEFA Champions League trophies during his time at the club.
Gareth Bale
In 2013, Real Madrid broke their own transfer record after signing Gareth Bale for a reported fee of £85m, and the Welshman played a major role as he won four Champions League trophies while at the club.
Jude Bellingham
Despite spending just over half a season with Madrid, Bellingham has already become a firm fans favourite at the club, chipping in with a remarkable 16 goals and three assists in just 21 La Liga games so far.
Zinedine Zidane
Zidane’s transfer to Madrid in 2001 shattered the world transfer record for a fee of around £46m, and he played a pivotal role in the clubs Champions League triumph in 2002 with his trademark volley in the final.
Luis Figo
This was not only one of Madrid’s biggest ever transfers but it will go down as one of the most controversial ones we have ever seen, after he signed from arch rivals Barcelona in 2000, and he went on to be a major part of the famous ‘Galacticos’, where he won several major trophies.
