Building A Team For The New Bernabeu - The Summer Transfer Thread

IMO, no it's not true and although i love Eder and see a bright future in him ( i was certainly not one of the fans that thought the club wanted rid of him at anytime because he wasn't playing or that we should sell him because of his poor game in the CL) it would be good to see him over a season first

Good facts, although that "mostly" part is interesting, that duo were not solely responsible for taking us to the CL semis, before they got a chance to play others helped us to get to where we were,

Actually some of the same fans wanted to SELL Eder ( they saw no value in him) after "one" performance in the said same CL, basically jumping on and off the bandwagon depending on how each game went it seems like,

i'll have a full season first in which we actually win something before i anoint, i'm sure Eder can have such a season, i like Nacho a lot ( one of my favourites actually) but not so sure about that nor the fact that he will actually be a starter at CB, so he isn't in this best CB pairing still at the club convo IMO

All what you say here may be true, i just replied to the comment that the "best" CB pairing is still at the club, I don't think so, it's far too dismissive based on, 18 games? against years of winning and influential service, good CB pairings aren't a dime a dozen, i can see Eder doing very very well and have high hopes for him, as i mentioned above i don't see Nacho starting, whatever happens i hope the team can win and i'm looking forward to some of the younger players stepping up this season.

Let me just state, i have no issue with Rafa leaving other than i hate losing both experienced CB's at the same time, but we are Madrid, wish him personally the best but of course, not Manure ( if that's where he ends up).

 

Mbappe won’t come. Maybe next year. If Paris will win CL next year, he will extend his contract.
No Ramos No Varane No Zidane.. this team becoming Arsenal / Milan.

I really feel ashamed by this management.

 

What will be Varane’s legacy with this departure? Should be a legend but it feels like there is a disconnect between him and madridismo

 

Why? You don't think Varane is a match for PL quality?

 

I was hoping he can finally lead the back line and cokemout of the shadow of his legendary partner.

 

Lol, ahhhh was waiting for the ridiculous Arsenal conperative statement. Came much sooner than expected, thought you guys would at least wait till the transfer period closes before saying such none sense.

Also, it’s funny how people
Say we overspent for hazard (which in hindsight we did) yet want 60 million for Varane. If Varane, a CB who hasn’t been his best these last 3 years, is worth 55 in his last year of contract, surely hazard the LW and posibly one of the best attacking players in the premier in the last decade is worth 100. Neither actually are, but that’s today’s world but it’s Madrid management who always gets the stick. It’s sad it mostly comes from the same madrid fan base who have nothing to really complain about.

 

...yes, for one more season, and then he comes to us for free next year.

 

Ramón Álvarez de Mon with an informative video here on our economic situation when it comes to Mbappe.

Although it’s only known to Madrid, Ramon says let’s assume that we are close to the salary cap. How would we fit in Mbappe?

Asssuming a fee of 150 million, a 6 year contract, and 40 million in gross wages for the first year, the approximate cost for Mbappe year 1 would be 25 million as an amortized portion of the transfer free + the 40 million wages = 65 million.

Assuming a Varane transfer of 60 million, which would be all capital gain due to the fact that we paid Varane’s transfer fee from Lens long ago, plus his 12 million gross wages, would be enough space created in the salary mass to cover the cost of Mbappe for this coming year. Of course, we also have more than 25 players and more salary mass space will inevitably have to be created.

TLDR: We should have both the economic means and the salary cap space to purchase Mbappe.

 

Varane at 19/20/21 Was better than now, He was back Then so good that he could defend an inform messi, nowadays He lacks concenrration and his Reaktion speed isnt on top anymore

 

Varane has noticeably lost a step. He's a defender who heavily relied on physical attributes to cover ground and misreads. I don't watch enough Man U to know if Maguire is a general at the back, but that's what Varane needs beside him. With all that said he's still a better CB than Alaba, losing Varane/Ramos in same window is a massive blow.

We can't risk losing him for nothing, so take the money and run.

 

Chelsea were just getting us back for Morata tho right?

I get why ppl think Varane might be well past his best. Think it’s also possible he needs a change of scenery and new motivation. Time will tell. I’m not opposed to the sale necessarily.

 

I do not understand why people think that we can get mbappe free next season..he would renew with PSG once they offer him same wages as Neymar

I just hoped that we sign at least a good striker irrespective of situation with mbappe

 

Ramos and Marcelo are absolute legends from that backline. Varane probably on par with Pepe and ahead of Carva as far as RM career goes.

 

This is conjecture. I’ll say it again, until Mbappe signs a contract extension, everything points to him wanting out of PSG no matter what. Of course, we can all believe what we want.

It’s been what? 3 years since mbappe arrived at PSG? That’s over a thousand days where PSG have had the chance to renew yet it hasn’t happened. 1000 days of Mbappe giving me reasons to believe that he want out. If that’s not a clear indication to his desires, I really don’t know what is.

he signs that extension, I’ll shut up, but I don’t expect it honestly.

 

Not really, but he hasn't been as bad as people have begun to make him look since getting linked with United.
