da aposte e ganhe: Real Madrid had a pretty productive transfer window over the summer.
As a whole, eight players joined Los Blancos’ squad from abroad and three of them made a step up from Real Madrid Castilla. When everything is said and done, a number of great squad members have been added to the team.
Of course, the biggest scoop was actually Eden Hazard who was snatched away from Chelsea and represented the only real Galactico signing Florentino Perez brought in.

But the rest should also not be disregarded as Luka Jovic and Eder Militao were also big names that are now donning the white.
However, even with all of those players joining the club and covering numerous positions, Los Blancos are seemingly nowhere near done with their revamp of the team.
The likes of Christian Eriksen, Harry Kane and Milan Skriniar have been names mentioned and linked with Real Madrid as some of their possible big targets for the near future.
But even though it’s easy to see why Zinedine Zidane would want them in the Spanish capital, it does pose a serious question over their transfer policy as a whole, solely because they have already bought players for those exact positions just recently.
Watch Lionel Messi and Gareth Bale answer the internet’s weirdest questions in the video below…
The potential signing of Skriniar makes little sense since Militao is already a young and aspiring centre-back who’s eager to emerge to the scene.
Jovic was bought to replace Karim Benzema as Real Madrid’s up and coming forward and yet, targeting Kane would definitely brush the Serbian aside.
The case of Eriksen is also a peculiar one – do the Galacticos actually need another attacking midfielder when they already have a total of seven players who can play in that role in some capacity?
So while possibly bringing all of those players sounds like brilliant business by Perez and co on paper, it also reveals a major policy flaw at the same time.
Why were all of those young prospects bought in the first place? Are Real Madrid just targeting big names for their reputation and not according to their actual needs?
There are many questions that remain to be answered but as it stands, Los Blancos don’t seem to have a clear plan in place.
