La Liga changed its dynasty, Atletico Madrid spent 385 million in two years, becoming the new king of the transfer market

For the second consecutive summer, the protagonist of the La Liga transfer market is neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona. A surprising new king has been born - Atletico Madrid. In the past two years, they have completely overturned the traditional pattern of Spanish football with a total expenditure of up to $385 million. The designer behind the throne is Carlos Bucero, the new football director who took office in January 2024. This veteran who has worked at Real Madrid and has worked with super agent Mendes has brought a new operating idea to Atletico Madrid.

Under his trading, while Atletico Madrid was spending wildly, it also maintained a healthier balance sheet than its arch rival Real Madrid through smart sales. The evolution of the bandit commander dynasty

The huge investment was derived from the growing ambitions of the club's senior leaders. Chairman Enrique Cerrezo recently boldly announced: "This season, our goal is no longer the top three, but to conquer all three events."

In order to achieve this goal, the team's tactical style has also quietly evolved under the stable coach of coach Diego Simeone. They are no longer the simple defensive counterattack team. From Julian Alvarez last season to Alex Baenna this season, the team's biggest signings are all technical attacking players, which is enough to prove that the team is becoming more active and proactive. The ambitious Atletico Madrid has achieved remarkable results.

Lineup Change: Since 2020, Atletico Madrid has signed 112 new players, and 111 people have left the team, and the lineup's blood change is almost twice that of Real Madrid.

The lineup is younger: Of the eight new players this summer, six are younger than their predecessors.

More Value: The team's total market value has grown for the first time in five years, and is currently up to $667 million.

Based on Simeone's 13 years of stable coaching, a new Atletico Madrid with a shrewd management, a younger lineup, more proactive tactics and more ambitious goals has been born. They not only have to challenge the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona on the court, but also be crowned as kings in the transfer market in advance.
