For Real Madrid, after achieving a record of 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 matches across various competitions, they have undoubtedly regained their form. On the La Liga leaderboard, they have also returned to the top spot that they had been away from for a long time. Currently, apart from the two long-term injured players Militao and Carvajal, all other injured players have recovered and returned to the team. At the same time, after the opening of this transfer window, Florentino has actively operated several good transfers targeting the shortcomings in the squad. Ancelotti is expected to have a more competitive lineup in the second half of the season.
The "Twin Stars" are expected to sign a package deal
Objectively speaking, since last season, due to serious injuries suffered by players like Alaba, the defense has become the weakest position for Real Madrid. Therefore, before the start of this season, Real Madrid prioritized the recruitment of central defenders, with Jolo once being just one step away from playing at the Bernabeu. After this transfer was intercepted, Florentino did not choose to bring in other replacements, which also laid hidden dangers for this season. When the season started, Alaba's return was repeatedly delayed, Militao suffered another serious injury, and Ancelotti faced a more severe situation on the defensive line than last season. In addition, Joanameni's performance after retreating to the backline this season was not ideal, and most of the time it was Rudiger who relied on his personal ability to hold on. Moreover, on the left-back position, Mendy's performance did not improve, and Fran Garcia's potential was average. Real Madrid also hopes to sign a first-team level player in this position.
According to the British media "Football insider," Real Madrid is expected to sign a package deal for Bournemouth's "Twin Stars" Dean Hoysen and Korkz. Among them, 19-year-old Dean Hoysen stands at 1.97 meters tall and has excellent aerial ball defense capabilities, averaging 2.1 successful headers per game. What is even more remarkable is that although he is tall, Dean Hoysen also has good flexibility and speed, averaging 4.3 clearances per game. Korkz, who plays as a left-back, has made significant progress in recent seasons and has entered the sights of many top clubs. This season, he contributed 1 goal and 3 assists in 20 games, with an average rating of 7.11 points, ranking third among all left-backs in the league. According to the current transfer market situation, if Real Madrid wants to successfully sign the above two players, they are expected to pay about 70 million euros in transfer fees.
60 million euro midfielder agrees to join
In the midfield position, Real Madrid's recruitment needs are more urgent. Although in the past period, Ancelotti successfully activated Ceballos and helped the team through this difficult schedule, from a personal ability perspective, there is still a noticeable gap between Ceballos' performance on both offense and defense and the requirements of a Real Madrid starter. Therefore, in the view of Real Madrid, signing a starting midfielder and letting Ceballos serve as his rotational player will be a more reasonable structure.
According to the Spanish media "Relevo," Real Madrid recently accelerated the transfer operation of Zubimendi. After multiple communications, this midfielder valued at 60 million euros has agreed to join the White Army, but he does not want to leave during the mid-season and prefers to complete the transfer at the end of this season. In addition, due to Zubimendi's very good relationship with Xabi Alonso, if the latter can take over Real Madrid next season, Zubimendi's willingness to join will be even stronger.
Real Madrid decides to terminate the contract and evict the "top deadwood"
As the most typical "fringe player" in Real Madrid's squad, Vallejo was completely relegated to the bench after contributing two mistakes that led to goals in just 10 minutes of play this season. Objectively speaking, when he was first loaned to Frankfurt, Vallejo once had an outstanding performance. However, subsequent continuous injuries caused his physical functions to rapidly decline, and his excellent pursuit and reaction abilities no longer exist. This makes him unable to match the position of Real Madrid's first team, and it is inevitable that he will be swept out. According to transfer expert Miguel Diaz, Real Madrid has made the decision to terminate the contract and evict this "top deadwood." Vallejo is currently working hard to find a new club.
