Who’s the costliest Actual Madrid participant of all time?
It is presently Jude Bellingham, although presumably solely on a technicality.
The €103m Actual Madrid paid Borussia Dortmund in 2023 might have been exceeded by the signing-on charge Kylian Mbappe agreed to as a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, although sources differ on what that determine is: some put it above Bellingham’s switch charge, others under.
There’s additionally an argument that Eden Hazard might have price extra, however he’s unlikely to have triggered lots of the further €60m reportedly payable to Chelsea in add-on charges.
Both manner, Mbappe’s wasn’t a switch charge and so it would not actually matter, whereas Bellingham’s transfer has add-ons of its personal, so we’re sticking with Bellingham as the reply.
Honest to say that the England worldwide is proving to be well worth the cash to date: Bellingham is ranked at no.4 in FourFourTwo’s listing of the very best gamers on the earth proper now

Hazard price the identical preliminary €100m charge when he moved from Chelsea in 2019, however he struggled badly for type and health and by no means established himself as a real common within the facet.
