Real Madrid reportedly continued to try to bring in Kylian Mbappe in the transfer market this summer, however, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are also working hard to prevent the transfer of their flagship player, by rejecting the 160 million euros offered by Los Blancos.
Considering the transfer deadline for this season is only one day left, it seems that it will be very difficult for Los Blancos to succeed in getting the Frenchman. However, Real Madrid is called a team that is able to get a star player at the last minute of the transfer period.
Previously, the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, was known as one of the figures who succeeded in surprising the fans in the morning by bringing in star players ahead of the close of the transfer season. Here are three Real Madrid purchases ahead of the transfer deadline.
3. Ronaldo Nazario (Inter Milan – 2002)
Ronaldo Nazario became a star player who was able to be brought in by Real Madrid on the last day of the closing season of the 2002 transfer season. The Brazilian player could be brought in from Inter Milan.
At that time, Ronaldo became one of the star players after successfully leading the Brazilian national team to win the 2002 World Cup. The transfer was very tough, even the two clubs almost did not reach an agreement. In the end, Real Madrid was able to get the star’s signature on the last day.
2. Sergio Ramos (Sevilla – 2005)
Until now, Sergio Ramos can be regarded as one of the transfers that benefited Real Madrid. Signed from Sevilla in 2005 ago, the player who occupies the position of defender turned out to reach an agreement with Los Blancos on the last day of the transfer season at that time.
Real Madrid was willing to spend up to Rp469 billion to get the 35-year-old player. Ramos has now awarded the Spanish League title, Champions League and other tournaments to Real Madrid. Unfortunately Ramos had to leave Real Madrid this season and join Paris Saint-Germain.
1. Gareth Bale (Tottenham Hotspur – 2013)
Gareth Bale became one of the most phenomenal transfers ever made by Real Madrid. Having a good season with Tottenham Hotspur, Los Blancos had to be willing to spend up to IDR 1.75 trillion and only got the Welshman’s signature on the last day.
Although the news of his transfer was quite horrendous at the time, Bale was often criticized after his performance did not live up to the expectations of his fans. Even so, the 32-year-old player remains one of Real Madrid’s mainstay players to this day.
