The complex exit operation of Real Madrid
This Wednesday, during the presentation of Luka Jovic in the Santiago Bernabéu antebellum, Florentino Pérez wanted to send a message to Real Madrid after a season without important titles to savor. “We want to share with all the fans of our team the start of a new project for next year. It has not been the year we expected and we will react with strength and determination in search of our historical obsession, which is to win, “said the highest leader. After the arrival of the Serbian striker, along with those of Militao, Hazard and Mendy, announced the same Wednesday, Real Madrid is now forced to put all their efforts in the operation out to get a much needed income.
The three recent additions, the arrival of Brazilian Rodrygoand the return of the loan collapsed a template that far exceeds the 30 players. Therefore, the Chamartin club board has already set to work in search of a destination for those players with whom Zinedine Zidane does not count. They are Gareth Bale, Dani Ceballos, Marcos Llorente, Mariano and James Rodríguez. All of them have the door open this summer and, perhaps, some more. For example, the last Golden Ball, Luka Modric. Madrid would listen to offers in case the Croatian expressed his desire to pack. The Inter Milan last summer, and tried to convince a multimillionaire contract. However, on that occasion, the white club declined to negotiate with the Italians, something that could now change. You could also hear offers, among others, by Isco and Lucas Vázquez .
The most complex operation, without a doubt, is the sale of Gareth Bale. The Welshman, called to replace Cristiano Ronaldo as a scorer and leader of the white entity, has returned to repeat another mediocre season (14 goals between all competitions) and plagued by injuries. And there are too many. Zidane has said enough, as he showed by leaving him out in the last three matches of the league championship. Although all the pools are far from the capital of Spain, Bale has no intention of leaving, as his representative said at the beginning of last May: “Gareth wants to stay, has a contract that does not end until 2022,” affirmed, resounding, Jonathan Barnett15 million euros net per year ) of the striker is another reason that hinders his transfer. This week, the Mirror reported that Tottenham and Manchester United would be willing to offer some 75 million for the Welsh winger. In case of arriving at said proposal, Real Madrid would accept immediately.
Less difficult seem the departures of Mariano, Marcos Llorente or Dani Ceballos. None of them has had many minutes under the coach, who has chained three consecutive European Cups before this last stage, much more gray. The arrival of Jovic leaves the Spanish-Dominican striker with no place, and the same happens with Raúl de Tomás, who has important offers from the Portuguese league. “I’m the happiest kid in the world for being able to sign up for such a big club. I’m very excited and I’m sure I’ve made the best decision, I’m going to give everything to help Real Madrid to win more trophies and more titles,” said the Serbian striker yesterday, who will play with the national team of the European Sub’21 that starts this weekend in Italy.
So the priority goal is to lighten the tremendously populated workforce. Then, in any case, the other operations will arrive, for example the possible incorporations of Eriksen or Pogba. The club assumes that these signings would not be closed until well into the preseason, so for now there are other jobs to do.
Another of the main concerns on the board is the figure of James Rodriguez, back after his transfer to Bayern Munich. The Colombian, who has not managed to convince the Bavarian team to exercise their purchase option, left in the summer of 2017, fleeing precisely from a Zidane that condemned him to the bench. The idea of the coach has not changed with respect to the Colombian, intended for the Naples of Carlo Ancelotti, coach with whom he shone in the 2015/16 season. With everything, between presentation and presentation, this Wednesday the one of Jovic, discreet, and on Thursday the one of Eden Hazard, that is foreseen by the stop with a Santiago Bernabéu on the brink of the full, the Madrid works to unclog its particular exit operation.
