The great eleven of those transferred by Real Madrid since 2017

Real Madrid has had to abandon its image of a traditionally buyer team, to become a selling club and thus be able to finance the Mbappé operation.

After staying at Juventus for two seasons, Morata returned to Real Madrid. With Zidane he was Benzema's substitute and lifted the Champions League in 2017 against his former teammates. That same summer he left the white team again, this time permanently. Chelsea paid 80 million euros to seize the attacker's services. He did not last long in London and in the winter market of the 2018-2019 campaign he returned to Madrid, now to play for Atlético de Madrid.
