Real Madrid have turned their attentions to Sadio Mane after being frustrated in their attempts to sign Kylian Mbappe, according to le10sport 💰 pic.twitter.com/pbXJlutTzh— GOAL (@goal) May 20, 2020
Yup, prior to the last two seasons he was a fine player for his role. Plus I’ll never forget that CL final penalty, he wanted to be the first one to go up and slotted it with no hesitation. Traore, not even worth discussing honestly. Why replace a bench player with a bench player?
With over 10 teams interested in Real Madrid's loanee Oscar Rodriguez, the club would like to sell him in the coming transfer window with a buy-back option. Madrid would be willing to sell for anywhere between €15m - €20m. [@OndaCero_es] pic.twitter.com/p8S98sgUVl— Infinite Madrid (@InfiniteMadrid) May 21, 2020

This result was the only answer. It's weird to me people even thought there was a chance we wouldn't bring him back or would sell. We make mistakes but we aren't mentally handicap.
When he left i've never thought he'll come back to play for us because i found him rather unimpressive when he was in Madrid. But since he started playing regularly, I don't think many here doubted he's coming back but playing time remains the biggest question mark for me.
The last time I remember watching him play for us (and I’m sure he did play after I just can’t recall a specific game) was the CL group stage game at Wembley vs Spurs. It was the first time I’d seen the team play live and it was a dreadful performance from the team and from Hakimi. In hindsight I was being way to harsh but at that time I remember saying to the guys I’d gone to the game with that I didn’t think he had a future with us. Thankfully I was wrong, because every time I’ve seen him play for Dortmund, as limited as it’s been, he has impressed and has clearly grown a lot as a player. In terms of playing time, looking back at his first stint here, Zidane showed faith so he must have seen potential. And at the worst case scenario he will provide competition and wake Dani up a bit (like Danilo and Odriozola did when they first arrived). But I’m confident he will do more than this, his future looks very bright to me now.
Good going forward, but personally I still have questions about his defending, I need to take the time and see if I can watch some more Dortmund games, and have a good look at that side of his game
Of course. But he just isn’t no matter how some people feel about him. If we haven’t sold Nacho by now, Dani certainly isn’t getting pushed aside. He should be properly challenged at RB by Hakimi, while the later can also play at RM to get PT.
Could Hakimi be our Dani Alves (minus being a compete weirdo)? I love me some Carvajal for so many reasons. He is a legend of the club in my eyes. There was a time where he was legit in the convo for best RB in the world & for me he was the best RB in world for a bit there. That was about 3 or 4 years ago at this point. I think Hakimi should compete for the job. But honestly they’re both starters at most clubs so both will prolly not play as much as they want... Hakimi seems to be special though, would be nice to see him as our RB.
Odegaard: five years of waiting Today is five years since he debuted with Madrid replacing Cristiano against Getafe. Long wait is almost over. Madrid will bring him back this summer. Madrid has already made the decision. As this newspaper has reported, the Norwegian will be back when the season ends. He has a contract until 2023 and the loan deal to the San Sebastian team was only for one season (the Law prevents it from being done for two). https://as.com/futbol/2020/05/23/pr...=QUNUVUFMSURBRA==&m3=MQ==&m4=bm9ybWFs&m5=MjE=
A back up is a back up, unless Hakiki is injury prone? Carvajal can stay if no one wants to break the bank for him, but if a big offer came in I would sell and reinvest the money and get a another solid centre back
Dani Alves is the best RB of his generation, we’d be over the moon if Hakimi reaches anywhere that level.
Good luck with that. Not only will it unsettle the team's core, it will also look terrible in the media. Performance levels or not, Carvajal isn't some Theo that we can push off. The players around him (Sergio Ramos, Isco for example) will be seriously displeased.
Not that I think what Isco thinks in our setup matters too much but I agree with the general gist of this point as far as the core goes and not just Spaniards
