Real Madrid has already closed the first incorporation for next season: David Alaba. The contract has not been officially announced nor is the contract signed yet, but it is a matter of time before it is so and for Madrid to communicate it publicly. The Austrian will arrive for free from Bayern Munich, with whom he refused to renew with the intention of changing the scene and improving his contractual situation. And in Madrid he will, clearly.

The question of the salary reduction seems minor at the moment: if Madrid agrees to give Ramos two years, there will be an agreement. If not, he will leave Madrid this summer and the club already knows where to allocate those 12 million net that it pays per year to Beds …
