The central operation, red hot

Although the Real Madrid wants to focus on signing a great attacker in the next transfer market, the situation in defense forces him to move. Sergio Ramos continues without renewing and the situation is dragging on for longer than both parties want. The captain is still waiting for offers that do not arrive and the club does not move from his offer (two years of contract with 12 million salary, although with a salary cut of at least 10%, the first season). On the other hand, Varane is considering the option of leaving. He believes that his stage at Madrid could have come to an end and is willing to try other leagues. He has a contract until 2022, so the club will listen to offers for him so it doesn't go free next year.

With all this, the white team begins to plan next season and is aware that it will have to make, at least, one signing for the center of the rear. Although the great investment will be to sign a forward (Mbappe Y Haaland are the two names that are shuffled) wait to be able to strengthen oneself in defense with a first-rate footballer.

Praise It has been the first option all this time, but the situation has gone wrong. Although a transfer premium would have to be paid, he would arrive free once his contract with him ends. Bayern June 30. The problem has been caused by the salary that the Austrian is asking for: he wants, at least, 11 million a year. Madrid is not willing to reach those amounts. In addition, the appearance of Laporta in FC Barcelona further complicates the negotiation.

If he finally leaves Varane, the club hopes to be able to get enough for him to face another great operation. The 28-year-old Frenchman is currently valued at 70 million euros, according to the specialized website Transfermarkt. In the event of a sale taking place, there are two players at the table: Joules Kooundé Y Pau towers. With the first, 22 years old, there are doubts from the economic side, since Sevilla refers to its clause (80 million) and does not seem willing to negotiate. The second, 24, is considered more affordable, although it will not come cheap either: is currently valued at 40 million.

A busy summer is coming at the Bernabéu offices. The club is willing to listen to all parties in order to make the best decision, but it will have to tread lightly so as not to end up weakened.
