The season has started rather well for Real Madrid, who are at the top of the La Liga standings after eleven days. In Europe, Carlo Ancelotti’s men also started their campaign well, with three wins in as many matches. There is also the satisfaction of seeing Jude Bellingham evolve at an excellent level, asserting himself as the leader of the Merengues for years to come. But at the same time, internally, we continue to prepare for the future rather than resting on our laurels.
On Tuesday, we learned that the Madrilenians already wanted to sign a first recruit for the coming season: Kepa Arrizabalaga. Loaned by Chelsea, the Basque goalkeeper has convinced his people in Madrid and the leaders of the club in the Spanish capital want to keep him. They will therefore soon begin discussions with Chelsea. That’s not all, since as indicated Relevothe Madrilenians are working on another operation: that leading to Alphonso Davies, the Canadian left back of Bayern Munich.
A position that the Madrilenians want to strengthen
The interest of the La Liga leader’s staff in the player is not new, clearly not. But we learn in the media that Madrilenians are more and more optimistic. Already, because the relationship with the player and his agent is excellent, and the Bayern player persists in not extending his contract which expires in 2025, putting Bayern in a delicate situation. The Madrilenians still estimate that they will have to put 50 million euros on the table. And in this story, the German ogre is already a little disappointed, aware that it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to retain his player.
Real Madrid considers this position to be one of its big weak points, and Eduardo Camavinga has often had to help out. However, this is not a sustainable solution in the long term in the eyes of the managers, who prefer to see him play in the middle, while Ferland Mendy has not completely convinced, and Fran Garcia is not considered at the level to be the incumbent in the position.
