That’s the other side of the coin when you’re called Real Madrid. The biggest club in the world according to itself and reigning European champion, Casa Blanca is also a bit of a victim of its status. It attracts the light and almost all players wish to one day wear its white tunic. Even when Real is going through a sporting crisis as is currently the case, it is at the mercy of numerous rumors. Those formulated by many people gravitating around players who wish to send their foals to the Spanish capital.
This is exactly the current situation of the Merengues. The long injuries accumulated in recent matches have led to fears of a shortage of players in certain positions. This massacre particularly hits the defense where Courtois but especially Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao and David Alaba are unavailable. Lucas Vazquez, who helps out as Carvajal’s backup, and Aurélien Tchouameni, aligned in central defense in times of shortage, are also injured for a short time. Only Antonio Rüdiger, Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia are experienced players.
Executives’ phones won’t stop ringing
Jesus Vallejo is already 27 years old but he plays very little and Raúl Asencio (21 years old) played his very first professional match last weekend. To remedy this situation, Carlo Ancelotti requested reinforcement in central defense this winter, something that Real is not used to doing. Several names have already been mentioned, as is the case for Aymeric Laporte, Jonathan Tah, Castello Lukeba, or even Jorrel Hato and even Sergio Ramos, who was rejected. This last case clearly illustrates what the Madrid management has been experiencing in recent times. She is even attacked according to Relevo.
The cell phones of Florentino Pérez, José Ángel Sánchez (general manager) and Juni Calafat (sporting director without official title) don’t stop ringing. Offers are multiplying from agents trying to take advantage of the situation to sell their player. The vast majority of these calls are quickly rejected because the Real Madrid network is generally sufficient in itself to find the desired profile. Some people also go to the press to leak their client’s name. And if it is not to sign for Real, it will be used to renew and improve a contract.
