Last night, Real Madrid recovered after the slap inflicted by Atlético during the Madrid derby. Opposed to Kairat Almaty, the Merengues won 5 to 0 thanks in particular to a hat -trick from Kylian Mbappé. But the meeting was not as easy as that in Kazakhstan. Indeed, the locals have sometimes abused Madrid, as often not very reassuring behind. David Alaba and Dean Huijsen had been chosen by Xabi Alonso to lead the defense with Raul Asencio and Fran Garcia as a side.
Arsenal armored Saliba
But Casa Blanca coach must look forward to the next Mercatos to arrive. This summer, he hoped to be able to count on an additional central defender in addition to Dean Huijsen. But Florentino Pérez tightened the stock market cords. Like Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso had to do with what he has on hand, without flinching. But in the coming months, he knows that his club will offer him the recruit he is waiting for. Indeed, the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium will not retain Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba, both at the end of the contract at the end of the season.
In addition, Raul Asencio is struggling to give fully satisfaction to the Madrilenians, who mainly count on Huijsen and Militão. But the leaders want a specialist in the additional position. For several months, three names have come out of the hat. There is that of William Saliba. As revealed by us, the profile of French has caught the eye of Spanish leaders. But the latter learned bad news about him. Yesterday, the tricolor international initialed a contract until 2030 with the Gunners. A blow for Real Madrid, who will have to go to the checkout if he ever wants to afford the former of ASSE.
Upamecano and Konaté files are complicated
Among the other players linked to Casa Blanca, we find Dayot Upamecano. The Frenchman is at the end of the contract at the end of the season. Young and experienced, he has everything that the Iberian club likes, which could recover it free. But Bayern Munich wants it to extend. For the moment, there is always a point of disagreement between the Bavarians and the Upamecano clan. But close sources ensure that the player's priority is to continue Munich. The German club still hopes to keep it.
Finally, there remains the track leading to Ibrahima Konaté. French has been announced for months as a priority target. Free at the end of the season, he has a big weakness for Real Madrid. All the lights were therefore green for Florentino Pérez and his teams. It was without counting on Liverpool who made a new proposal for an extension of contract a fortnight according to The team. Bad news for the Merengues. Especially since the Reds, who still have to agree on several points with the player, are very confident. Real Madrid sees three targets moving away …
