Not even the achievement of the league title can silence the fans of the Real Madrid with quite deficient planning of Florentino Pérez and the sports management after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. And the worst thing for the president is that the data is there. The merengue club needs the Champions League (as has just been verified): the European competition is crucial and two eliminations in the second round is too harsh a reality. Therefore, the same Florentino has made a radical decision about a galactic.
And he has decided it even at the expense of the opinion of Zidane, who was in favor of another exit for this player. And it is that Madrid will call Donostia in the next few days to communicate that the decision has been made and is irrevocable: Martin Odegaard returns to Madrid and will wear white at the Santiago Bernabéu in the 20/21 campaign. In this sense, two very desperate situations have shaken the president’s conscience to change his mind with respect to the playmaker.
The first is the criticism, quite well founded, about the quality and depth of the meringue squad, which is notably lower than that of other giants on the continent. During the last two seasons it has been seen with enough clarity: in the league it has been the old guard who has been crucial, not the signings nor the youngsters. Also in the Champions League, where her packing rivals this season,. PSG and Manchester City (both have beaten Madrid in everything) they have had infinite resources that whites lack, making a difference. And, coupled with that, the old guard already has many wear cracks, from Casemiro a Kroos, passing by Isco, there are players who must improve a lot or leave.
The second is that Madrid will be able to deploy little economic muscle in this transfer market (except if it intends to go into debt) so that Florentino has seen it clear: the exit operation must be accelerated and the Norwegian must be called up a year before of the two signed with the white blue. And come out Isco, Lucas, James and Brahim, thinks Florentino, Odegaard has plenty of room to dispute ownership of Kroos or Modric, even to Casemiro, who has to contribute much more as a midfielder in addition to stealing balls (he is criticized for his lack of clarity and quality in the ball output: he is the player who loses the most balls only behind Dani carvajal)
