Butragueno reveals £100M Real Madrid warchest

Real Madrid have a staggering £100 million to spend this year.

Marca says Real vice-president Emilio Butragueno confirmed the amazing figure yesterday at a club function.

While not all the amount available will go towards new signings, it is a sure sign that Real president Florentino Perez has restructured the club's finances in order to compete with the stunning spending power of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich this summer.
