8 Big-Money Signings Who Flopped at Real Madrid

Wait, Eden Hazard has left Chelsea to join Real Madrid? That one came out of nowhere, a real bolt from the blue(s).

The Belgian's arrival in Spain has been anticipated since the dawn of time, with Los Blancos identifying the latest galactico to revamp and reinvigorate their waning squad. £150m is the figure being thrown around, though the final sum could far exceed that.

That makes him Real's record purchase by some distance, though the La Liga battlers will hope he doesn't suffer the same fate as some of their... less successful signings.
