Before buying, Real Madrid should sell some stars
There have been many rumors about possible Real Madrid signings for next season, however, according to the Spanish newspaper ‘Marca’ before that, the Merengue club plans to sell some players with strong market demand that allow a good financial fit.
END OF LINE TO GARETH BALE?
From the list recently presented by the Spanish newspaper ‘Marca’, Gareth Bale is clearly the most resonant name that will have been placed on the table as transferable this summer. The Welsh winger was seen as Cristiano Ronaldo’s natural successor, but the successive physical problems that added to his somewhat enigmatic personality that generated distrust in the dressing room ended up precipitating this announced end.
Bale was close to leaving at the end of last season, but an imminent deal for China would end up without effect so the former Tottenham player stayed in Madrid for another season. This season, Gareth Bale’s numbers with the Real Madrid jersey are heartbreaking. 3 goals and two assists in 18 games confirm that the player is far from his best form and probably with his head elsewhere.
At 28 years of age, and even after the widespread drop in players’ market values, Gareth Bale is now valued at 32 million euros and will certainly have many interested parties, especially in the Premier League. Even so, a possible transfer of around 40 million euros would always be a huge decrease compared to the 100 million euros invested in the player in 2014.
Anyway, at a stage when Real Madrid is attentive to the possibility of signing players like Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe or Paul Pogba it becomes evident that others will have to leave to free up space in the squad and allow some financial fit for the attack. to those targets.
JAMES RODRIGUEZ, MARIANO DÍAZ AND DANI CEBALLOS IN THE SAME BOAT
The other three elements on the list will also certainly have a lot of market this summer and are expected to receive some tempting proposals. James Rodriguez is managed by Jorge Mendes and will likely have several interesting offers in his portfolio.
The Colombian player also lost space in Madrid as a result of several injuries, having played only thirteen matches this season and scoring just one goal. But he is an extremely talented attacking midfielder who at 28 years of age still has plenty of time to relaunch his career at a club that gives him more opportunities on a regular basis.
With a market value of 32 million euros, any proposal of around 35 million is likely to be enough to convince Real Madrid to release the player. The case of Spanish striker Mariano Díaz tends to be even easier to solve because he is a younger player – 26 years old – who shone at Lyon and has all the conditions to be a renowned scorer in several European clubs.
Valued at only 13 million euros, I believe that Real Madrid can easily sell it for values around 25 million euros. The last of the quartet nominated as transferable is Spaniard Dani Ceballos who is currently on loan from Arsenal. The creative midfielder has been untouchable in Arsenal’s midfield and, were it not for an injury in the middle of the season, he would certainly have many more games played this season.
He had played in 24 games before the competitive break and seemed to be asserting himself in English football and Arsenal could even advance through their services at the end of the season. At just 23 years of age and with a market value of 32 million euros, his departure could be for values around 35 million euros and after leaving good indications in England this season, the Premier League can be the your future destiny.
FITTING TO ENHANCE CONTRACTING
According to my sales projections, Real Madrid will be able to fit around 135 million euros with the transfers of these four players, in addition to the relief in the wage bill that will have with the departures of Garethe Bale and James Rodríguez. If this goes according to the expectation of the ‘merengue’ board, this may open the way for an onslaught by one of the club’s current targets. Erling Haaland appears to be the priority for 2020/21, but Paul Pogba also remains on the horizon close to the club.
More than 100 million euros will certainly favor Real Madrid’s position of power in the event of an attack by any of these players. But which one will they advance in the first place? Questions to be answered in the coming weeks …
