Rebuilding Madrid, One Pass at a Time - The Transfers, Rumors & Lies Thread

Doesn't sound like Athletic Bilbao to have 15 ME clause for an important starter. Let's see.

 

So what?

 

Ramon Alvarez de Mon, Pepe Alvarez, Journal du Real all saying this evening that we’ve changed our mind and will now pursue Rodri

 

Pepe broke some legit inside news like Juni going to Argentina last summer to hijack PSG deal for Franco and Tcho renewal until 2031. He doesn't spam either unlike JFD and co.

🚨 NEW: Real Madrid have received approaches from 3/4 clubs in Spain & abroad to get Franco Mastantuono on loan.

The club and player will discuss whether to go out on loan or not.

Real Madrid FULLY BELIEVE in the player, so if he moves, it will be only on LOAN, nothing… pic.twitter.com/xes3Qe5ohM

So... Rodri for the Ballon d'Or?

 

It's time to cash in on Camavinga, sell/loan Asencio and loan out Mastantuono for a full season or two..

 

and buy Rodri and Laporte (having already Cucu makes even more sense)..and we are set to go..Olise is a big dream but its hard to happen this summer

Asencio is probably banking on Rudiger, Militao and maybe Konate having fitness issues thereby immediately becoming "part of the plans"..

Giving him a big contract was a mistake on the club's part..

 

🚨💣 CONFIRMED: Certain people inside Real Madrid managed to convince Florentino Pérez TODAY to SIGN RODRI!

The club has now began DIRECT TALKS with his agent!

They are FULLY GOING FOR HIM. @lejournaldureal pic.twitter.com/nnI2tLa6w7

I don’t see Rodri coming. The effect on Vinicius’s already fragile self esteem and confidence will be terrible.

 

If it’s a nudge out of the door for Vinny, I’m all for it.

 

Junior changed his face, it's all good..

 

If nothing else the transfer thread is always entertaining on a certain level

What difference does it make, Moo is already here and he said that Vin pretty much only has himself to blame for everything that happens to him so... there's already that

 

Sounds like Romano is halfway there. Will claim full green light by Flo soon.

🚨 JUST IN: Rodri is PUSHING to join Real Madrid.

He is TRYING IN EVERY WAY to get the move.

This is why there are A LOT of news in recent hours.

Florentino Pérez has NOT YET GIVEN THE FULL GREEN LIGHT, it ALL DEPENDS ON HIM. @FabrizioRomano pic.twitter.com/T7jPasnES8

A Mou team is always defense first but if the main defensive midfielder is ball playing that just restores the attacking balance perfectly

R9, Cannavaro, Ozil, James, Courtois, Jude. RM has signed notable stars from World Cup since 2002. Rodri would be a high profile addition to that list if we can sign him.

 

122 - 🇪🇸 Rodri made 122 line-breaking passes at the 2026 World Cup, the most by a player since 🇪🇸 Xabi Alonso in 2010 (126).

🚨⚪️ Raúl Asencio could leave Real Madrid this summer, already planned since June with José Mourinho.

Permanent/loan depending on proposals but exit also depends on player’s decision.

Madrid doors are open.
