Real Madrid is planning several important moves this summer, regardless of how the season ends.
“Los Blancos” are still in the title race and on a good path to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but the overall narrative is that this has been a disappointing season. One of the main reasons, according to many observers, has been a squad that is not well balanced.
It is no secret that the Madrid club aims to sign a midfielder and a defender during the summer, while according to reports from Cadena SER, the club plans to bring in at least six new players.
This would mean two reinforcements in each key department of the team. This number also includes the return of Endrick Felipe from his loan spell at Olympique Lyon, as well as the activation of the €9 million buy-back clause for Nico Paz from Como 1907.
One name that has often been linked over the years with a move to the Santiago Bernabéu is Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.
His agent, Rafaela Pimenta, denied this week that there had been talks with FC Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font. However, Real Madrid is said to have always received positive responses whenever they have contacted the Norwegian striker’s camp.
In addition, the future of City manager Pep Guardiola could be decisive. Real Madrid’s executives believe they could convince Haaland to leave City if Guardiola decides to depart from the club — a scenario that, according to reports, remains possible this summer.
