Real Madrid has completed its 2024-25 season. And what a season! She started with the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, the player so desired by Florentino Pérez. Endrick, the Brazilian jewel, also joined the ranks of the team led by Carlo Ancelotti. Eleven months later, the Mister is no longer on the Madrid bench, he who was replaced by Xabi Alonso. Luka Modric is gone, Lucas Vazquez will do the same and Rodrygo is no longer welcome. Regarding arrivals, the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium got their hands on Franco Mastanuono, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen.
The recruitment of an internal divided environment
The two defenders were from the United States to the United States for the FIFA Club World Cup. The Merengues would have liked to count also on Alvaro Carreras, priority at the post of left side. But the negotiations with Benfica lasted and finally, the former Casa Blanca arrived yesterday against a check for € 50 million. A reinforcement that will do good on the left corridor, even if Fran Garcia scored points in the eyes of the staff during the tournament in the United States and that Ferland Mendy intends to remain as revealed by us on Friday.
That day, the Chain ser Unveiled that Xabi Alonso was convinced during the Club World Cup to recruit a rather defensive midfielder. No name had filtered. But the Spanish radio assured that the former coach of Bayer Leverkusen said to his management that he wants another specialist in the position. This, even if he appreciated the work of Aurélien Tchouameni. This Tuesday, the Chain ser makes new revelations on the subject. “The question of the famous axial environment is an internal debate”explains journalist Anton Meana on Spanish radio.
Florentino Pérez does not want to go to the checkout
He continues: “There are people in the club, who are with Xabi Alonso, and who think that a specific environment is necessary to build the game and give the club a little more freedom of movement, regardless of what Dean Huijsen does in defense. But Florentino Pérez was very clear from the start. He does not want to pay 100 million euros for an axial environment which, according to him, is not worth it. ” The Boss of Casa Blanca, who dreams of Rodri (Manchester City), said no to his coach this summer. He believes that there is no player who corresponds to what he wants. There Chain ser concludes by specifying that the Madrid has interrupted their research for this position.
“For the moment, it's unanswered. Admittedly, they continue to study the market, but there is nothing. The central defender operation was also postponed until next summer. ” For this position, it is the Roc de Liverpool, Ibrahima Konaté, which is in pole. It will be free in a year and Real Madrid would like to recover it without paying transfer compensation. Pérez and his teams do not intend to get their hands on the wallet this summer for a defender and especially an environment, despite the requests of Xabi Alonso. Like Ancelotti a year ago, the Madrid coach will have to do with what he has on hand. Unless a departure from Rodrygo allows you to finance the recruitment of an environment.
