Real Madrid is going through a difficult period financially and sportingly. Due to recent soundproofing concerns at the Bernabéu, concerts have been banned, depriving the club of significant revenue already budgeted. Despite a healthy financial situation, the managers are considering some sales to compensate for this shortfall, without giving up their stars.
Four players are on the market for attractive offers: Aurélien Tchouaméni, well rated in England despite a certain reserve in Madrid, Ferland Mendy, appreciated by Ancelotti but less by the rest of the club, Dani Ceballos, who could return to Betis, and Brahim Diaz, a surprising option, who remains efficient coming off the bench.
6 DEPARTS?
In addition to these four players, the cases of Andriy Lunin and Antonio Rüdiger are also being monitored. Lunin is of interest to English clubs while Rüdiger is coveted in Saudi Arabia. The club does not particularly want to see them leave, but the decision will depend on the players themselves.
THE LIST OF THE INJURED
The sporting situation is not better. Real Madrid are currently second in La Liga, six points behind FC Barcelona, and are having to deal with a wave of injuries hitting several starters, including Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, David Alaba, and Dani Carvajal. This injury crisis pushes the club to consider defensive reinforcement this winter.
NEW TRACKS
To compensate for this lack, several names are being studied, including Aymeric Laporte, Castello Lukeba, Jonathan Tah, and Cristhian Mosquera. However, another track leads to Mario Hermoso, a former member of “Fabrica”, Real’s academy, who is currently playing at AS Roma after a stint at Atlético de Madrid.
Versatile and experienced, Hermoso could strengthen the central axis and cover the left-back position if necessary. A return to Real could interest him, but an agreement with AS Roma will be necessary to make this potential transfer a reality.
