The activity does not stop at the Valdebebas offices. The roadmap for Real Madrid for next season is already written and has some guidelines. Basically they are the arrivals of Rudiger y Tchouaméni. The signing of the German, whose contract with Chelsea ends on June 30, is already a fact. He is 29 years old and, like Alaba, he is a footballer totally made for the center of defence, accustomed to playing in the elite and winning titles. Rudiger signs until 2026 and will have a termination clause of 450 million euros.
The hiring of Tchouaméni (22 years old), on the other hand, has yet to materialize. It is a last-minute move by Real Madrid, an operation that was resumed after Mbappé’s refusal to play at the Bernabéu. Madrid’s agreement with Tchouaméni, who wants to play at the Bernabéu yes or yes, is complete, but it is still necessary to negotiate with Monaco, who aspires to collect an amount of around 80 million euros by a defensive court player for midfield. In any case, these negotiations will not be able to take much time, since Monaco starts the season very soon, on June 18 (plays previous to the Champions League) and aspires to leave this issue resolved before the campaign begins.
The white entity is very clear about what other positions are likely to be reinforced, but there is no rush. fundamentally because there are two returns from loan that are key: those of Mayoral (to have a substitute for Benzema’s guarantees) and Odriozola (to give more air to Carvajal, who had such a good final in Paris). If more signings are undertaken than those mentioned by Rüdiger and Tchouaméni, It will depend on the exits, because many efforts will be made to lighten the workforce.
Beyond the exits that are already safe, those of Bale, Isco and Marcelo, whose contract is ending, the idea is to find accommodation for both Mariano and Jovic to make room for Mayoral. Representatives of the Serb are already actively looking for equipment for him. Mariano, on the other hand, always makes it complicated. On the other hand there are two players, Ceballos and Asensio, with a future in the air. Both, with the need to be renewed (both end in 2023) or to be sold to get, at least, an economic return.
The return of those on loan will be important
You don’t live only on flashy signings. On July 1, those on loan to Madrid return and two of them will have an important role, as we advanced. Odriozola (Fiorentina), Mayoral (Getafe), Kubo (Majorca) and Reinier (Borussia) They will be part of the white squad and the first two are the ones with the most ballots to stay. Brahim is a special casesince his loan at Milan runs until June 30, 2023 and there is no sign that it will be interrupted.
The side from San Sebastian has vindicated himself in Serie A and, if there is no interesting offer, Madrid has him. In Florence he has matured and without a pure ‘2’ as a replacement for Carvajal, beyond the reconverted Lucas, he wins his permanence. While Mayoral is aware of the questions surrounding Mariano and Jovic. “I will do the preseason with Madrid and I will see the feeling…”he said recently.
Reinier and Kubo are another story. Both are from outside the community and, although Vinicius and his nationalization are expected to leave a free gap, the seasons of both are far from expected. The Brazilian has failed to have continuity in Dortmund neither last nor this year, in his two years on loan at Signal Iduna Park (just 741 minutes in the two campaigns). While Take He has been losing weight in Mallorca and his progression has stagnated. The future of both goes hand in hand with a new loan, since the club continues to be confident in its explosion.
