This summer, the Madrid press was not really spoiled. After a generally correct season thanks to the title gleaned in La Liga, Real Madrid are living a rather quiet transfer window. No big names in one of the various newspapers in the Spanish capital therefore, the fault of the coronavirus crisis but also of an already fairly complete workforce, qualitatively and quantitatively.

Zinedine Zidane will therefore have to be content with players returning from loan, such as Alvaro Odriozola but also and above all Martin Odegaard, brilliant with Real Sociedad last season. It is next summer that the Merengues are expected at the turn, with the name of Kylian Mbappé who will return with insistence, while Erling Braut Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) or Eduardo Camavinga (Rennes) are also on the shelves of the direction Madrid.
A sporting … or financial contribution
This Saturday, Brand however, highlights four players who are considered recruits by the Merengues for next summer. These are four players on loan this season – Brahim Diaz (Milan), Dani Ceballos (Arsenal), Take Kubo (Villarreal) and Jesus Vallejo (Granada) – whom the Spanish champion sees as players of the future, and is convinced that they will have a role to play once they have one more season in their hands.
Recruits at cost 0 explains the Iberian media, and this in times of crisis. Especially since even if Zinedine Zidane were not to count on them, they could be sold at a high price, like what had been done with Marcos Llorente, or what was done with Achraf Hakimi this summer, the Moroccan having been sold for around € 40m to Inter. The four players mentioned have all cost quite reasonable sums to the Madrilenians and the added value would be assured in the event of a satisfactory season. What to convince the supporters who expect the Galactics? Not sure…
