Florentino Pérez thought he would have a more or less quiet season. Especially since he offered his coach Carlo Ancelotti two offensive reinforcements with Kylian Mbappé (25 years old) and Endrick (18 years old). Elements that represent the present and future of Casa Blanca. But the boss of Casa Blanca must ultimately face several problems. The adaptation of KM9 is not going as well as expected. In addition, the Frenchman, who would be mentally affected according to those around him at The Teamcontinues the controversies between his absence from the French team and the alleged sexual assault case. Concerning Endrick, Pérez would like him to be used a little more by the Mister, just like the young Arda Güler, recruited a year earlier.
The Madrid president is also very concerned about the well-being of Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo, impacted by the signing of KM9, as well as that of Vinicius Jr, unfairly deprived of the 2024 Ballon d’Or according to him. But the priority problem of the Spanish leader, in addition to the results and the game which are not famous, is the cascade of injuries which affects his club. Indeed, the Real Madrid infirmary is never empty week after week. And new players have taken up residence there, like Aurélien Tchouameni, Lucas Vazquez and Éder Militão. The Brazilian’s injury, victim of a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament with damage to both menisci of the right leg, is a huge blow to the head of the Merengues.
Real Madrid is in the dark
Despite the upcoming return of David Alaba, who has not played for a very long time, the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium are considering the strategy to adopt to strengthen the team. Two ideas oppose each other in the Valdebebas offices. Real Madrid, which does not necessarily like to recruit during the winter transfer window, hesitates between relying on young people from the club or adding new blood to the squad from January in order to be competitive in all areas. paintings. Relevo indicates that although the club is scrutinizing the market, it has still not decided what strategy it will adopt. In the middle, the Madrilenians have two targets in mind. These are the experienced Aymeric Laporte or the promising Castello Lukeba.
But for both, we will have to take out the checkbook to convince Al-Nassr and RB Leipzig. The debate is the same regarding the right-back position. With Dani Carvajal’s long-term injury, Real Madrid is relying on Lucas Vazquez, who has been a winger converted to right-back for several years. The club would like to be able to count on a specialist for the position. And the priority has been known for months since it is Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Englishman has the advantage of being at the end of his contract next June at Liverpool. The idea of the Madrilenians, rather confident on this issue, is to recruit him for free at that time. As a result, they are thinking about the best strategy to adopt this winter to strengthen the right lane. They don’t want to recruit another player this winter to avoid putting him in the hands of TAA, once he signs this summer.
Two future recruits who block the club
But on the other hand, the need is urgent at this position. Real Madrid could possibly try it this winter with the Reds player. For Relevothe Merengues believe that it will be very difficult to dislodge him during the season, especially since the player wants to complete his contract. If Real Madrid has no urgent need for the left-back position, it has already made progress on the Alphonso Davies file, who will arrive free next summer. Relevo explains that the Canadian, but especially the Englishman from Liverpool, compromise the club’s strategy this winter since the Spanish champions have already scheduled their arrivals and the expenses that will go with them (their salaries, signing bonuses, etc.). Which clearly leaves them less room for maneuver this winter. A new puzzle to resolve for Florentino Pérez, who could possibly put a few players up for sale to recover cash and strengthen himself.
