Madrid fans, how do you all feel about Ramos potentially leaving? I feel like there’s always contract renewal drama with him. Maybe he’s bluffing, but without him Madrid have 0 CL’s the past decade and he’s still an elite CB. You guys worried he may leave or no?

Meh

I guess Allegri is the backup plan if Zidane opts out of his contract. But Zidane overachieved, with so many injuries and only one dependable forward. Still making the semis in the Champions and fighting for the Liga to the last game. Despite the nadaplete, not bad. Hazard should have been a crack the last two seasons, but he completely disappointed. Pérez was more concerned with the stadium and Covid 19 difficulties and renewing the forwards.

Too many star forwards have left without proper replacement. Cristiano, Bale, James weren't really replaced. MBappe seems set to land in Madrid soon, though.

Zidane left last time when Florentino wasn’t able to keep Ronaldo. I guess Zidane saw MBappe won’t be Madrid’s player next season. Playing with Vini, Benzema and Asensio upfront won’t bring any titles. Barça at least won another copa, to help next season.

The UEFA is threatening Madrid 2 years out of any European competition due to Florentino’s leading role in the super league.

My guess is Conte will be next Madrid’s coach if Madrid doesn’t get expelled from Europe, with Allegri worst case scenario. If European ban gets into effect, they will be begging Lopetegui to return and eventually settle for Solari.

Love the move for Alaba. Will be cool to finally see him in blue as Austria wears red/black. Definitely prefer this over PSG.

But for Madrid? 5 years and those wages. While nearing a retooling.

Alaba had a rough past season but was credited as a vital reason for the UCL title 2 years back. Change of scenery should reignite his passion and more importantly focus.

Ramos will probably go to PSG, with Militao, Nacho, Varane and Alaba the rotation is quite good and, best of all, Alaba joined for free. Same as Barça most signings are players without contracts. Though, I think Pérez may still have something to offer €100M and Vini for MBappe. Other option is to ship Varane in a package for MBappe and overpay to keep Ramos. In any case Alaba is important.

Not only the medical team. Chelsea players looked far quicker in the second leg. It's noticeable the CL final was played at different pace.

Not sure if the players became a bit too old here and there, or physical conditioning isn't good enough. Zidane stuck with what worked in the past, minus Ronaldo, Bale and James.

Probably didn't see a solution, used Madrid's own bad press as excuse to leave, still on a high note despite the nadaplete.

Perhaps Zidane isn't the right coach to make a transition to a much younger team with only 2-3 veterans.

Carlo Ancelotti is now considered ‘one step away’ from joining Real Madrid. His agents are now working to terminate his current contract with Everton - it’s the last step then the deal will be completed. Ancelotti won’t create any problem on personal terms with Real ⚪️ #Real #EFC

Ancelotti has managed two teams to a CL, made it 4 times to finals. Conte is more for league titles, only made it once to Europa League final and lost it. He seems the right choice.

Hopefully things go better with Pintus, the team is thin in talent up front, Madrid needs at least Hazard and Benzema in good form, to contend for the Champions.

It will be interesting to see if James returns too. Apparently Ancelotti was the third option. The team really aimed for Pochettino or Allegri.

Alaba, Varane, Militao and even Nacho may be technically great center backs, but Ramos is Ramos. Madrid may regret that move if Sergio goes to PSG or one of the strong English teams. The logical step would have been to sell Nacho and keep Ramos, but I guess his salary was an impediment to bring MBappe.

dunkman

07-28-2021, 01:56 PM

Varane is officially United’s player. Double the salary and €50M transfer. Not sure if going from Ramos, Varane and Militao to Militao, Alaba and Nacho can be considered an improvement.

dunkman

07-30-2021, 08:25 PM

The last reports say Florentino has €200M ready for the MBappe operation. Quite frankly it seems insane the PSG will keep MBappe till January 2022 when he would leave for free.

dunkman

08-04-2021, 07:19 PM

La Liga is borrowing every club up to €270M under very favourable conditions. 70% for infrastructure and lower divisions, 15% to refinance debts and 15% to increase salaries.

The speculation is that signing Haaland and MBappe, if PSG agrees to sell, is highly probable.

dunkman

08-07-2021, 04:45 PM

Correction, La Liga funds go by TV rights. €270M for Barça, €260 for Real Madrid, €210M for Atlético Madrid and so on. The loan is for 50 years and 0% interest. Basically a gift.

dunkman

08-08-2021, 10:33 PM

Ancelotti's plan seems to be to recover many players that didn't count for Zidane.

On paper, Bale, Jovic and Hazard are all great forwards. Together with Benzema, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Asensio, Lucas Vásquez, there shouldn't be lack of goals.

Hazard arrived in great shape to trainings. The signing of Pintus was very important.

Even without Haaland or MBappe, maybe Ancelotti can do better than Zidane.

Edu Aguirre, Cristianos doppelgänger and one of best friends, said Ancelotti called Cristiano’s people to tell him he wants him in Madrid. Next day Ancelotti denied he asked for Ronaldo to be signed and Cristiano sent a letter some use his name damage relations with clubs. Edu was publicly lambasted for selling smoke, but later at Chiringuito, when asked by Pedrerol, Edu doubled down and said Ancelotti may not asked officially Madrid to sign Ronaldo, but he did actually contact Cristiano’s people (agent, I guess) and “that he can’t deny it”. It also transpired Cristiano was never happy in Juventus.

Iñaki Angulo citing reliable sources, says the Madrid side already made an official offer for MBappé for €160M. It seems outrageously high for a player in his last year of contract, but signing the best player in the world with 22 years is probably a top priority.

Well it's quite a bit more than the €100M the team paid for Hazard, in the same situation, being in his last year of contract. BTW, given the great form Vini has so far, not sure if Ancelotti will bench Hazard for next game.

dunkman

08-25-2021, 10:47 AM

It seems the PSG refused the offer and Leonardo wants €180M, other says €200M, for MBappé. Paying so much for a player that can sign contract with the Madrid the January 1, 2022 seems insane. Tbh, €160M was a fair offer, also shows MBappé the Madrid cares more about him than the money.

dunkman

08-26-2021, 07:28 PM

The news are, MBappé is certain to leave PSG, and there's a lot of activity trying to unload Jović and his salary, that may be around €9-10M x season, in a loan.

Odriozola is joining Fiorentina in all season loan. He was third fiddle behind Carvajal and Lucas Vásquez, so he was loaned without buy option. The team also unloaded around €6M in salary.

The last offer for MBappé was €170M + €10M in almost certain variables, so basically ,€180M. The operation is expected to be closed as soon as tomorrow.

Another rumour from Madrid is that Haaland is extremely near to be signed in this transfer window.

I think it signals Madrid is out of the €170 + €10M deal for MBappé. It was a madness and borderline stupid to offer even €160M for a player who wants to joint the team, his contract expires in 10 months and in January 1, 2021 can sign a pre-contract.

It's strange Sevilla is suddenly demanding from Chelsea €70M for Koundé. It looks he may end in Real Madrid.

My guess is the plan now is to reinforce the backs and midfielders, sign a pre-contract with MBappé in 4 months and sign Haaland once his release clause drops to €75M.

Well, MBappé is probably regretting ever signing with PSG. PL teams probably want players to produce right away. The Madrid bought very young players, some will probably end being really good.

The last offer for MBappé was €200M, sent despite the offer of €170 + 10 wasn't even informally answered. Perhaps they wanted to show MBappé they tried everything, knowing PSG wouldn't even answer.

Pérez will take notice, the Madrid could start talking to more than just MBappé or move some strings so that PSG ends with problems for the financial fair play.

Tbh, the concept of a foreign monarchy financing a football club somewhere in France makes no sense and what's worse, the way they treat players that want to leave is detrimental to the game.

I remember Ronaldo's first stint in the United, he was one of maybe 10 best players in the world, but the moment he hit the ground in Madrid, he became Messi's equal and one of 5 best ever. I think not even Ferguson could believe what was seeing.

MBappé will never reach his full potential in PSG, leading the Madrid he can be recognized as the world's best player and will have many comercial opportunities, far offsetting any higher salaries the PSG may pay, plus he could make football history.

If he re-signs, the Madrid will just bring another players, that will end having greater careers despite having less talent.

Cavaminga is loaded with talent, very young but his last season with Rennes has been meh.. it seems he started to plateau his progression, more importantly he lost motivation. Not a very good sign for a player of his age. Not sure going to Madrid is a wise decision.. probably not tbh..

Also, I love dat bias of Madrid fans about PSG and MBappe... if Madrid was to resist to trade a player that would be a sign of strength but its PSG so it's stupid :lol Fact is Qatar does not need money, they have the opportunity to have MNM for 1 year before the WC they rightfully refused 200 M. On a side note respect to Kilian who is not letting of those negotiations derail his performances, dude is playing stellar.

Finally saying MBappe would not reach his full potential with PSG is :lol ... He is 22 y/o already among top 5/6 players in the world, has a WC, a CL finale and a XXL contract and salary...

Perhaps he can achieve that status in Madrid, in PSG, honestly I don’t see it. Al Khaleifi is more about politics, they can break the financial fair play anytime they want, the football industry has gotten too rotten. In the long run that can’t work.

UEFA’s Ceferin gives support to PSG, French Federation says nothing, though the initial version was PSG must sell players for €180M, UEFA looks anywhere else where the FFP is not respected and FIFA doesn’t intervene. The situation is quite frankly ridiculous, and if so, best teams should indeed make the super league with or without PSG.

The rumours are MBappé and Haaland are set to join the team for the 22/23 season. Rüdiger is also mentioned, but Pogba seems less probable, because of inconsistency and very high salaries.

Ancelotti says Vini only can play left extreme, Haaland is only center forward and that would leave MBappé as right winger. Karim seems to be too good to be reserve, tbh.

dunkman

12-02-2021, 09:24 AM

Reports are that Lewandowski has asked his agent to look for a way to sign for Real Madrid. Maybe for the winter transfer window.

I don’t remember any player signing for Madrid with 33. Although he’s still better than Haaland or MBappé, Madrid didn’t want to sign Cristiano, when he signed for United at the start of the season.

The only way I see that happening is if Bayern lets him go for much less than his market value and if Lewandowski accepts one year contract, maximum 2 years.

He would be a great addition for the rest of the 21/22 season, playing with LF Vini Jr, Lewa CF, Karim RF, but for for 22/23 there will be Karim, Haaland, Lewandowski at CF, plus MBappé, Vini Jr, Asensio and Jovic and Mariano.

Perhaps Bayern would take Jovic, to get another CF.

If Bayern demands €60M, the money and salary will be best invested in a midfielder or a defense.

His contribution in one Copa del Rey final vs Barcelona and two Champions League finals vs Atlético and Liverpool is undeniable, but he’s paid a mountain of money, by far the most of any player since Ronaldo left, the reasonably is to expect some effort when healthy?

Of the €400M paid upfront for non-football related stadium activities of the new Santiago Bernabéu, €200M have been set a part for new signings. Rumors are that MBappé and Haaland seem very probable from July 1, 2022.

Haaland release clause is €75M, his agent Mino Raiola wants his cut, but Real Madrid doesn’t like to deal with him, as well as Haalands father. MBappé will get a big signing bonus, also his family that are his representatives. €200M seems enough, maybe for another signing.

A ton of salaries go off the books (Bale, Marcelo and Isco), so salaries would be a problem either.

dunkman

Real Madrid made another offer of €50M to PSG to transfer MBappé in January. Probably it’s the last attempt to deal with PSG before signing a pre-contract with the player or maybe an humiliation.

Rudiger apparently fell off the radar, since the £200K x week wages were way to high for the Real Madrid bosses. Although another center back would be necessary.

Too bad for Haaland, but true to be said Karim is better and there was less pressure. The addressed a major weakness at CB, only Militao is good defending headers. MBappé would be great, with Vini Jr and Rodrygo form a great core of young forwards.

Not terribly accurate, before was saying if Messi and Ramos leave La Liga was to renounce, but Josep Pedrerol’s internal sources from Real Madrid say:

“It’s very difficult for MBappé to sign with Real Madrid”

The player broke an agreement, Real Madrid doesn’t have communication with MBappé for more than a week, also they didn’t agree MBappé was to communicate his decision shortly before the Champions League final.

So, “at Real Madrid are very pessimistic about MBappé”.

===

I’m starting to think MBappé thinks too much about money, never really wanted to play at Madrid. Going all in (€150M signing bonus, €30M net yearly salary and image rights), for such player doesn’t seem logical. Another Bale or Hazard is the last thing necessary. Typically all Madrid players are fans of the club.

I think they will shift the attention towards Tchouaméni from Monaco, Lautaro from Inter. Additionally, it could be Dybala that’s free agent, Lewandowski but the problem is he has Benzema in front of him and Bayern may not sell, perhaps Pogba also FA.

Pogba and Tchouaméni are midfielders, one could be signed anyways. From the forwards, it will be the one best plays at right extreme, pressures defenders and is young.

I'm not even sure Zidane can solve PSG issue... imho issue is more linked to the top of the organization, the replacement of Leonardo is probably more critical. Nevertheless there are some positives for PSG, they have now a great and professional tech center in Poissy, then if Zidane signs that will also help to go in the right direction. Probably the only coach in activity with Carlo, Guardiola maybe Klopp to be bigger than the Neymars, Mbappes and Messis, he would command respect which was missing.

I think a UCL loss is on the horizon. Real got a little too puffy chest.

Too much talk, “God is madridista” and “ADN Real Madrid”, then overreacting like really MBappé matters much, because in the end a good talented player making his maximal effort will end having better career, just because the level of competition is much higher. That’s how Neymar disappeared once left Barça for PSG.

Probably is much better to sign 2-3 players than MBappé and concentrate on what’s important, the Champions league.

Madrid proved very vulnerable to extremes or lateral centres, and Liverpool has excellent ones, but Liverpool plays too up front, where Real Madrid is very good at counter attacking.

Never felt this team has the talent to win the league with 15 points margin or to reach the Champions finals, but when Benzema, Modric, Courtouis and Vini Jr play like the best, everything is possible.

Non-Chiringuito sources say Tchouameni has passed medical, would seem the announcement is imminent. Apparently Monaco got €80M plus €20M in variables. Tbh, not €100M straight away, but still insane for a defensive midfielder. No way he would be reserve unless can’t play.

Gabriel Jesús contacted Real Madrid, it would be great to have someone backup Benzema. The operation would be around €50M. Right now with Jovic or Mariano it would be impossible to survive in Champions League or even win games in La Liga. Given the age of Karim, it would be a wise decision.

Asensio fell in pecking order under Valverde, that plays false right extreme, and rumours are would welcome a transfer. Jovic apparently has asked to be transferred too.

Madrid officials are in Brazil to sign Endrick, it seems they will sign him whatever it takes. Though, he can’t officially joint the Madrid side till 18, in two seasons. He’s center forward and would be the natural replacement for Benzema. No player so young made an impact in the Brazilian league, since I think Ronaldo Nazario at least. Neymar was older when starring for Santos.

Apparently, the transfer rate will be €45M, plus bonuses that bring the figure to €60M. I think that’s what Madrid paid for Vini Jr and Rodrygo. Probably not too much, though there’s no guarantee he’s going to be good. Reiner costed €30M but was loaned to Borussia first, then to Girona.

Apparently Bellingham is also in the plans, though it’s difficult to see how would he fit with Tchou, Camavinga and Valverde. Maybe Camavinga didn’t quite developed as the team expected.

The team does lack deep. If Benzema or Vini Jr miss games things will get bad, particularly in the Champions League. Hazard seems done and in problems with Ancelotti, Rodrygo and Asensio are more for right extreme, there’s no one to play CF if Benzema isn’t there.

Finally, the Edrick operation was apparently disclosed as €35M fixed for Pameiras, another €25M in mostly very probable variables and €12M in Brazilian taxes plus commissions, for a total of €72M. There’s no information about the personal terms with the player. It seems Real Madrid has very good “watchers” and competent people to close the operations. His contract had a €60M release clause, so no offer would go much over that. Huge amount for 16 years player, time will tell how it goes in the end.

In retrospect, I think Pérez made a mistake when leaving Di María go to United to sign James Rodríguez somewhere around 2014. Di María didn’t do well in his only season in United but eventually resurrected his career at PSG playing well for many years, till moving to Juventus recently. In meantime James proved even more conflictive and quite frankly less talented too. At the time honestly, didn’t understood the change.

Some sources in Spain want Florentino to sign MBappé, to bring him to La Liga, but that would be easier said than done. If Qatar owners want to listen any offer at all, it would take at least Vini Jr, Valverde and maybe the new kid Emerick they signed in Brazil, plus money and crazy high salaries. Maximal management skills would be needed too.

Despite taking a dump on the club and the president, he’s such a talent, it will be shame it gets wasted playing in France and failing to achieve anything at continental level at PSG. Messi isn’t getting younger, neither is Neymar, and than who knows.

there is no EPL league team that can afford him tbh... if he signs for Real he will receive less than at Paris but he is not gonna come for free.

Could Man City not afford him?

So the best player in the world is gonna join Real after 7 years playing for Paris... are we not entertained ?
He probably will ultimately regret it. If he could have brought a UCL to France then strong argument over Zidaine. But I understand PSG is alot for him to shoulder and French NT are WC favorites for the next few cups.

What's early odds for the Finale in New York - France vs England?

He needs to extend his game tbh.. real is the perfect place, team will play with him not exclusively for him. Dude is a diva when it comes to system, he wants to play in certain spots, want the ball always in the same box... he will have to adapt and that's a good thing. If one coach and one club can put his ego in check it is real.

It is way too soon to talk about WC tbh,,, France has to play Euro before and this generation should be focused to get one Euro after dat loss in final against Portugal. For the WC health is too much of a factor to say France or England are favorites, healthy France is a contender but that's a big IF when you look at what happened in the last WC.

I agree with Brazil

With the NT he doesn’t have to play D because the system DD put in place allows him to just focus on offensive

But with PSG it’s just not cutting it at the highest level.
People can say what they want about Neymar but at least he tried to contribute defensively

So in Madrid he better start contributing in that area

Oh and he better not try to steal Bellingham’s thunder
