Original Title: Real Madrid is planning a summer with practically no signings other than Trent Alexander-Arnold, although everything will depend on the end of this campaign, extending the pattern that club is almost patenting. Signing world-class players who are reaching their final months without renewing.
Summary:
Real Madrid’s transfer window is expected to be calm unless there is a major setback, like losing key titles or Vinicius Jr. leaving. The club’s defensive concerns have been resolved with the emergence of Raúl Asencio, providing financial relief and setting an example for young players Joan Martínez and Jacobo Ramón.
The defensive lineup will feature Alaba, Militao (returning in summer), Rüdiger, and Asencio, who has secured a key role, pushing Tchouameni back to midfield. Elsewhere, Modric is likely to stay another year, Ceballos is leaning towards renewing, and Arda Güler remains a long-term prospect despite Ancelotti’s doubts. Tchouameni’s strong form has ended interest in Zubimendi, and major changes will only happen if Ancelotti is replaced, potentially by Xabi Alonso.
