The two Madrid clubs are up there with the biggest in world football and the lure when one of them comes calling can be too much to refuse. Real Madrid are the more successful of the two, winning the Champions League a record 13 times along with dominating the domestic scene alongside fierce rivals Barcelona. Real have the second biggest revenue stream in the game, second only to Manchester United which shows the demand for them around the globe, meaning that they're able to shell out some big sums of money to land their targets.
Atletico Madrid aren't steeped in as much history as their city rivals, but they are an incredibly well drilled unit who have enjoyed some great success under the tutelage of Diego Simeone. The Argentine has guided them to 6 major trophies along with two Champions League finals, making them one of the most attractive sides to play for.
