5 clubs in a great position to break the transfer record this summer

#1 Real Madrid

Gareth Bale was the last record transfer made by Real Madrid in 2013.

If there is one club who is known for constantly breaking transfer records and buying the best players in the world in recent history, it is Spanish side Real Madrid. So, it can be expected that they will be itching to get back that title from Manchester United who became the first club in 21^st century to displace Madrid’s name at the top of the most expensive transfer list.

Since 2000, the transfers of Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale to Real Madrid have broken the previous transfer record until Pogba’s transfer fee climbed to the top. Adding to that, Madrid are looking at a major summer overhaul and are reported to be interested in city rivals Atletico Madrid’s Antione Griezmann, Monaco’s budding superstar Kylian Mbappe, Juventus’ jewel Paulo Dybala and Chelsea’s Belgian wizard Eden Hazard.

Playing for Real Madrid is an experience unlike any other, making them one of the most popular clubs in the world. This is the reason players find their advances hard to reject and therefore Madrid always tend to have the best chance of shattering the transfer record.

Every attacker they are linked to are high-profile players who will cost a fortune. Knowing Madrid’s financial clout, as they are always among the richest clubs in the world, Los Blancos are in prime position to bring the spotlight back on them this summer with a record-breaking transfer. In this process, they can reclaim their top spot from Manchester United and once again be known as the club who has executed the costliest transfer in football history.
