Panic in Europe over Real Madrid’s new transfer strategy

The reputation of Real Madrid speaks for itself compared to other clubs. A club whose DNA is engraved by winning mentality, its legacy puts it on a different tire. As a result, it becomes difficult for any ambitious player to refuse a call from the great Real Madrid. This has instilled panic into other clubs, as they fear they are at risk of losing their stars with just a phone call from Real Madrid. Report emerges courtesy of Marca.

According to transfer markt, Real Madrid is valued at €6.75 Billion. It’s the most valuable club in the world as per latest updates of may 2025. The club has a very stable economic structure, putting them in a position of strength in landing big signings without financial crisis. However, Real Madrid prefer to go about their business in a very different way.

Real Madrid prioritizes FREE signings.

Despite having the budget to sign whoever they wish, Real Madrid has decided to keep its economy on a steady high. In the last few years, they have signed Kylian Mbappe, Rudiger, Alaba and Trent Alexander Arnold, all on free transfers. More are expected to come.

Of courses the player receives some compensation for arriving for free, but it’s nothing Compared to the actual fee they would have paid. The enables them to maintain their financial stability.

A club for example like Liverpool who recently just lost Trent, have been exposed to another Real Madrid attack. The Merengues have shown great interest in their star CB Konate, whose contract expires next summer. The plan is for the Frenchman to run down his contract, and join them for free.

Renewal talks between club and the player has been at a standstill since Real Madrid registered interest. The situation is becoming difficult to control for the Reds.

Not only Liverpool, but Arsenal and other European clubs. Myles Lewis-Skelly of Arsenal has been a subject of interest from Real Madrid as we previously reported. Although Arsenal are currently confident they can keep him away from the Los Blancos.

Skelly’s contract with Arsenal expires in June, 2026. The London club is banking on the fact that he’s an academy product, who has only seen one year of top flight football.
