The new Real Madrid Galacticos
Real Madrid's summer spending extravaganza will come to a conclusion when Florentino Perez completes the deal for Xabi Alonso.
The 27-year-old flew to the Spanish capital last night to complete his medical at the Bernabeu, after which he will join up with Madrid's other new recruits.
In a summer which has seen Madrid twice break the world transfer record, Alonso's arrival will push the club's outlay close to the £225million mark.
Here, Press Association Sport breaks down the bottom line to see how Perez's millions have been spent over the past two months:
Cristiano Ronaldo - £80million from Manchester United
Kaka - £56million from AC Milan
Karim Benzema - £35million from Lyon
Xabi Alonso - £30million from Liverpool (TBC)
Raul Albiol - £12.7million from Valencia
Alvaro Negredo - £4.2million from Almeria
Alvaro Arbeloa - £3.5million from Liverpool
Esteban Granero - £3.4million from Getafe
Total: £224.8million
