Real Madrid set for spending spree as part of mega commercial deal set to be added to £175million transfer kitty

REAL MADRID will be set for a major spending spree over the next two windows after securing a £175million commercial deal.

The back-to-back European champions have been relatively quiet on the transfer front over the past two seasons.

Despite that, Los Blancos have enjoyed an incredible 18-month period of success under Zinedine Zidane‘s management — but they have struggled this season.

And Marca report that Florentino Perez will a portion of the amount secured from the deal on top of the £175m already set aside for transfer incomings.

It means Los Blancos are ready to splash out on new Galacticos to ensure they are not left behind by Barcelona.

Not since splashing out £63m on James Rodriguez in 2014, have Real Madrid spent huge amounts on players, preferring instead to bring young Spanish stars for the future.

In that time, Barcelona have broken their transfer record to sign Ousmane Dembele for a deal which could reach up to £138m, while also splashing out on Arda Turan and Andre Gomes.

Perez had been hoping to change their policy by targeting young, Spanish talent rather than world superstars.

However, their two summer signings of Dani Ceballos, 20, and Theo Hernandez, 19, have had little impact.

One of the first arrivals in January is likely to be Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

While, a sensational move for Neymar next summer has been mooted.
