Luis Figo supports Real Madrid squad changes following recent summer transfers

Real Madrid completed six new signings this summer as manager Jose Mourinho works to renovate a squad that has not secured a major trophy in two years. Former Ballon d'Or winner Luis Figo publicly backed the club's transfer strategy, describing the recruitment as a necessary step to boost morale and fan engagement. While Figo praised the tactical suitability of the new additions, he questioned the financial sustainability of the current transfer market, specifically citing high fees for players like Diomande. Despite the influx of new talent, Figo anticipates a familiar title race involving Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid. He maintained that while the moves are sportingly sound, the increasing scale of transfer fees across professional soccer remains difficult to justify from a commercial perspective.
