In the transition that Real Madrid is in, the youngsters are as important as the veterans. It is the experienced players who have to teach and direct the most inexperienced. Hence the importance of what are called heavyweights. And at Real Madrid, Nacho is one of them.
The 33-year-old youth squad player has had doubts about his future, but in a meeting with the club, he has decided that he will continue, that he will renew for one year and will continue at Real Madrid, the team of his entire life. After the match against Athletic, the defender spent a long time lying on the grass, playing with his children. It seemed like a farewell, but it was a reflection, perhaps the last: the stadium had fired Benzema, Marco Asensio, Hazard and Vinicius and had sung “Nacho stay” and “Ceballos stay”. The first one has already listened to them.
The second seems close to following, or at least closer than months ago, but it is still not clear or has not said yes.
But the main issue is the striker. If Karim Benzema had fulfilled the expected contract year, the plan would not have changed. Now the bet has risen: «It is evident that today four strikers such as Eden, Mariano, Asensio and Benzema are saying goodbye. That’s where we have to get our hands on it and we’re going to do it without haste. We have time to do it calmly,” he said. Ancelotti who will drive the team next year. The profile for which the market is being combed is clear: «We are looking for a striker who scores goals and associates well with the others. The profile of a striker taking into account that we have two youngsters at the top who are beginning to play a more prominent role. Vini Jr. since last year and Rodrygo has made more progress this year. He will be a striker who plays football well like Asensio or Karim », explained the Italian coach.
The two footballers you are probing perfectly fit that profile of a classy striker, who is more than just a box center forward. Ancelotti wants his striker to be a game generator, for his area of movement to confuse the central defenders and contact the midfielders. And finally, that his relationship with Rodrygo and Vinicius is a bit like Benzema’s: he has to bring calm and experience.
Kane is the one that the white coach likes the most, because he can play Benzema perfectly and he arrives with the hunger of being 29 years old and not collecting titles. At Tottenham he has not been able to fight for almost anything, only circumstantially, and he is looking for a team that will give him a leap in his career. At the time he sounded to go to City, but the arrival of Haaland is a barrier. On the other hand, next season the Real Madrid forward position is his. He is going to fight for LaLiga, for the Champions League and for everything that is at stake. It is a leap into another reality, perhaps what he has always been waiting for.
What Tottenham asks for Kane
Kane’s problem is that he has one more year on his contract and at the white club they already know what a martyrdom it is to negotiate with Levy, the boss of Tottenham. Marathons are not forgotten to sign Modric and Bale later. Kane is very clear that he wants to leave, that his career needs a new direction and that can help him say goodbye. They are not going to do crazy things. They will not exceed one hundred million. But Tottenham wants to overcome them.
Actually, with Kane, Real Madrid’s policy with transfers would be carried out, the only way to compete: wait for the last year of the contract, when the clubs know that they either sell or leave for free the following year. That is why Tottenham may be closer in this negotiation, which already seems inevitable. The figures that are handled are below one hundred million, but the situation has yet to be clarified.
The arrival of Kane does not mean that Real Madrid will not also go for Havertz, the fine Chelsea striker, another very Benzema footballer, with a vision of football that very few have, although his goalscoring records are not spectacular. « Today we only have two attackers, but I am not worried because we have all the time to fix it. You win matches with and without forwards. The forwards are more likely to score, but it makes a difference when a team plays seriously, compactly, with commitment and as a block”, continued Carlo Ancelotti about what the club is looking for. The goals are important, a lot, but no more than the striker plays and plays.
In this plan to renew the lead, Kane would be the one to play Benzema, while Havertz would be the footballer who has to play Asensio, an irregular footballer but who guaranteed goals in his good seasons.
Thus, the new Mariano, the striker who has to offer a plan B, a nine with a shot, from the area, would be Joselu, who would arrive free this summer and at 33 he is already very clear about what he can give to the new Real Madrid that is already Is drawing.
