Real Madrid are not doing things by halves this summer, and the Merengues are putting together a quality squad to allow the team to claim all possible titles. After recruiting five players – Dumfries, Cucurella, Konaté, Bernardo Silva and Espi – the Merengues are preparing to welcome Yan Diomandé as well as Rodri, the MVP of the last World Cup.

For its part, the Cadena COPE indicates that Real Madrid does not want to rush things, and that Madrid decision-makers also remain very confident. They are waiting for Manchester City to secure the Spaniard’s replacement, which could well be Ayyoub Bouaddi. Additionally, the 30-year-old recently had back surgery and cannot return to training for several weeks. There is therefore no urgency to bring him to Madrid, since he will not be able to train with his new teammates straight away anyway.

As for the newspaper Sporthe specifies that Manchester City is not in a hurry to sell, not necessarily needing funds urgently, and that the Cityzens can therefore drag out the negotiations. They are also demanding 70 million euros; a sum that Real Madrid does not intend to pay for the moment. If all parties are ordered to come to an agreement, everything indicates that this matter will be resolved later in the month…
