Real Madrid is racing against time to close two high-caliber signings
The end of the Euro Cup or rather the elimination of the teams will mark the future of the transfer diaspora. It will be the starting signal for a situation in which Real Madrid seems to have its objectives quite tied up, although a year ago Güler appeared out of nowhere, but as always happens, the appearance of guests forces them to move a piece sooner than expected.
As MARCA has been saying in recent months, two players are the challenges of this market, once Mbappé already has his photo in the Valdebebas locker room.
Leny Yoro
Leny Yoro has already told all the teams that have approached him that his desire is to play for Real Madrid, but events are precipitating and the agreement with Lille is beginning to become urgent. It all started more than a year ago, but the first move with Lille was in January 2024.
The days pass and the siege grows. Luis Campos, sporting director of PSG, has gotten to work and the Parisian proposal is quite close to what Lille intends, with an amount close to 60 million euros. The player’s response has been the same as other times they have approached: “Thanks, but no.” Not even the self-proclaimed architect of football has managed to convince the defender, who has spent a few days on vacation in Ibiza.
Real Madrid is not willing to reach that figure for a player whose contract expires in one year, but they will have to negotiate. The idea was to wait until June 30 and there is still a deadline for that, but everything indicates that the final negotiation will arrive before that date due to pressure from other teams, especially PSG, United and Liverpool, something that has already happened with Tchouameni.
The leaders are already doing the math without Nacho and with the certain departure of Rafa Marín, the battalion of center backs for Carlo Ancelotti for next season will be the one formed by Militao, Rüdiger, Alaba and Yoro if the negotiations end up culminating, with Tchouameni every day more involved in the role of the center back or at least that’s what the white coaching staff thinks.
Alphonso Davies
Alphonso Davies’ case has nothing to do with Yoro’s. From discretion we moved to a more aggressive tactic since the Canadian began to ring in October 2023. With the addition of the fact that they are opposite Bayern Munich, a team with which Real Madrid has an excellent relationship.
The situation between Bayern and its player is not the best right now. The rejection of all renewal offers makes the leaders of the Bavarian club think about the existence of an agreement with another club, in this case Real Madrid, but if with Loro the white club is moving more, in the case of Davies, the doubt exists due to the great performance of Mendy (Ancelotti has asked for his renewal) and the complicated coexistence of two starters as defined as the Canadian and the French, with Fran García and discord.
The German club is taking the renewal issue to the limit and Real Madrid believe that the full-back’s continuity in Germany can be achieved soon. It is a market opportunity, but the situation has changed and it is no longer seen as an extreme necessity. Mendy has won big and that is a reality.
