La Liga top 2 spenders

After looking at the EPL top spending clubs in our previous post, lets take a look at La Liga top two spending clubs.

Barcelona - £62 million

Barcelona added only one player in the transfer window, a marquee signing in the form of Neymar for slightly over £50 million. But they have to shell out around £12 million for their own striker Bojan Krkic.

Bojan was with AS Roma for two years—the second of which was actually spent at AC Milan—but under the terms of the initial agreement, the Spanish side had to fork out to bring back the one-time wonderkid if Roma decided they didn't want to keep him for a longer period. It's turned out to be a costly deal for the Catalan side, but they will hope the addition of Neymar is enough to propel them to another La Liga title.
One thing they will rue, their inability to sign a Centre Back as their defence could be the weak link.

Real Madrid - £144 million

Having broken their own world record for a transfer fee (which they break again and again) following the capture of Gareth Bale from Spurs.  His £85 million deal makes up the vast expenditure from last season's La Liga runners-up, but they also doled out huge fees on Spanish duo Asier Illarramendi and Isco, both of whom will have big expectations on their shoulders to wrest back the league title from Barcelona this season.
 Casemiro and Dani Carvajal were lower outlays, and Carlo Ancelotti will be hopeful that he now has a balanced squad with enough depth to challenge on all three fronts.
And, let's be honest, if he hasn't, then question marks will be raised over one man above all others.
