Find the right middle. This is the Mission of Real Madrid this 2025-26 season. A year ago, the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium made the choice not to replace Toni Kroos, who retired with a new Champions League under the arm. A decision that was not paid for the Merengues since the absence of the German was sorely felt on the ground. This summer 2025, the club chaired by Florentino Pérez must now do without Luka Modric, whose contract has not been renewed. The Croatian, who had become a replacement in his last season in Madrid, spun at AC Milan. Without Kroos or Modric now, the Iberian team has lost two leaders and experienced players.
Xabi Alonso, who arrived a few weeks ago, asked his management to recruit an additional midfielder after the FIFA club World Cup. A tournament during which he found that a rather defensive position is missing. For the past few days, the Spanish media have explained that the Madrilenians have identified the player they need. This is Rodri. But this file is very difficult at the moment. The new coach will have to do with the forces involved, even if Jude Bellingham is currently stopped. Aurélien Tchouameni, who scored points during the competition organized by FIFA, is in the plans of Xabi Alonso. Ditto for Fede Valverde or Arda Güler, who will have more playing time to put in the tooth.
Camavonga stays in Madrid
Dani Ceballos was again close to a return to Betis. But there Cadena Ser assures that he will stay well this year. The former Bayer Leverkusen coach assured him that he is counting on him. Finally, there remains the case Eduardo Camavonga. Victim of a complete breakdown of the left adductor tendon last April and absent for 75 days (12 missed matches) according to the specialized site Transfermarktthe 22 -year -old Frenchman did not participate in the World Cup. He missed an opportunity to show what he has in his stomach to Xabi Alonso. A few days ago, Marca also revealed that the tricolor environment raises questions, since his coach does not yet know what position he wishes to use it.
This Thursday, the Cadena Ser made a broad point on this file. Thus, Spanish radio reveals that Camavonga received several offers to change air during this offseason, notably in England. No club name was leaked, but a few months ago the English press spoke of an interest in Manchester United or Arsenal. But he will not go into any of these clubs because his choice is made, just like that of his club according to journalist Antón Meana. “”The entourage close to the player told us that he would not leave either. He was not about to leave, but rumors reported potential offers from the Premier League. However, from what his close entourage told us, he wants to stay at Real Madrid. It is therefore impossible for him to leave Madrid this summer. ” Se queda!
