Scored another brace today, already at six goals on the season. I've made my point clear on this many times, no need to go in detail again (in short - I won't complain if we sign Wirtz, my hope is there's no need to sign him after this season), but he's off to a flying start this season and, shit, if there is the need and Xabi's coming next year, it'll be hard to say no to this.
If we sign him we need to move Tchouameni permanently to CB. Camavinga partnering Fede. Jude with Wirtz. Vini with Mbappe. Every single combo is fire and lighting. Anyways what I wish is Rodrygo to show his worth and win you guys over.
🚨 @FabrizioRomano: “We are seeing many stories about Real Madrid with Florian Wirtz. I keep thinking that the future of Xabi Alonso will be important for Wirtz, to see where Xabi will go after Leverkusen either in 2025 or any other moment.” pic.twitter.com/oFRzWMcXKp— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) September 20, 2024 🚨 Trent Alexander-Arnold remains very, very highly regarded at Real Madrid. Real Madrid are yet to make contact with his agents, and Liverpool will first talk with his camp to see if he wants to stay or not. @MatteMoretto pic.twitter.com/LSeK0T3xpv— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) September 20, 2024

🚨 BREAKING: Real Madrid are interested in Castello Lukeba. @jfelixdiaz pic.twitter.com/yXS7yrxUXr— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) September 22, 2024
JFD also mentioned Reis in his article. RB paid 35 ME for Lukeba in 2021 so wonder what kind of profit they will look for while selling. ______ The analysis continues, but the starting point for the signings remains the same. On the one hand, they are trying to find young talent (Víctor Reis from Palemiras), with experience and strategy. https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-m...60122601db50e8b4571.html?utm_campaign=twitter
Young player we'll approach at the end of his contract if he develops >>>>> The club is pretty bad at addressing emergencies but great at long term investments.
Yea, joined in 2023. 2021 was a typo. Apparently, RB paid 34 ME+ with bonuses included. I reckon they will at least want 60 ME they recently sold Olmo for. But they also have a history of selling Gvardiol for 90 ME after signing him for 37 ME. I think Vitor Reis might be more in our price range than Lukeba.

🗣️ Trent Alexander-Arnold on the biggest factor deciding his future:“I want to win trophies. I’m a player who is highly motivated by winning things & being elite. That’s probably the main factor of anything.

Trent / Davies / Young CB / ---- Defense sorted CM (with Modric and Ceballos probably leaving) Attack is set.....except if Florentino thinks he has a chance on Haaland....he would definitely sacrifice one of our attackers for that. I always thought he wants both Kylian and the cyborg.....
Quite a few interesting players in the Milan derby that Madrid might have been wise investing th\e Mbappe money into. Latauro, Leao, Pulisic, Marcus Thuram and this Reijnders guy is a tidy player. I imagine we could have gotten at least a couple of these guys for the price of one Mbappe, instantly shoring up areas of need and resolving the depth crisis currently being experience.
At least he can score a goal from open play, can assist and plays defense. It's a low bar I know but imagine bending over backwards to convince a player to come, reorgainzing the teams tactical scheme and formation and this is the level of you hope your new shiny star player can get to.
Not so long ago,I did not want Davis, but I change my mind this season. We need an upgrade from Mendy and Fran Gracia.
