5 times Real Madrid broke the transfer record

#1 Gareth Bale

Usain Bolt of football

Gareth Bale is one of the greatest players in the history of football that the game has ever witnessed. Due to his pace, stamina and fitness, Bale was the most expensive player in 2013.

Following his magnificent individual achievements at Tottenham Hotspur, Bale signed for Real Madrid in 2013 on a six-year deal.The transfer fee was £86 million. This transfer eclipsed the previous transfer record of £80?million that was spent on bringing Cristiano Ronaldo to the Bernabeu from Manchester United.

However, in spite of his innovative skills, his playing time with Real Madrid in recent seasons has largely been limited by consecutive injury attacks.
