Real Madrid will probably not recruit before the summer transfer window closed on Monday, despite the opportunity to strengthen the workforce of Xabi Alonso.
Among these recruitments, we could quote Alex Jimenez, former Fabrica, who is about to leave Milan.
Last summer, Milan finalized the final transfer of Jimenez, allowing Real Madrid to collect 5 million euros after the Rossoneri activated the buyout clause of the loan contract between the two clubs. As part of this agreement, the Merengues retained the possibility of re -entering the young defender for only 9 million euros.
Real Madrid has planned to activate this clause, but it has now been decided not to do it. He will thus lose control of Jimenez's future, Fabrizio Romano having announced his intention to join AFC Bournemouth, Premier League club.
Real Madrid gave the green light to the transfer of Jimenez
Before an agreement was found between Bournemouth and Milan, Real Madrid was to make a final decision as to the activation of its buyout clause, and it gave up doing so. Consequently, the 20 -year -old will go to England for the rest of his career, in the form of a loan, with a conditional purchase obligation of the Premier League club.
Xabi Alonso must make a decision
Real Madrid could have considered Jimenez as a long-term replacement by Dani Carvajal, which could have seen him compete with the summer recruit Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, this is not the case, which is logical given another right side, Jesus Fortaa, is much sought after in Valdebebas.
Despite this, it would not be surprising to see the leaders of Real Madrid watch Jimenez during his passage in the Premier League, because an agreement could still be envisaged. But for the moment, they have chosen to give in control of his future.
