On the eve of Arsenal's arrival in Madrid, no one was interested in a Champions League match.
It was as if the Spanish media did not think that Arsenal could make any waves at the Bernabéu.
Instead, they focused on Real Madrid's future signings.
Entering March, according to Cruyff, "the team's signings can start at this time."
However, the specific issues needed specific analysis. Although Real Madrid's games were magnificent and they occupied the top of the table, their wins and goals were the highest among the leaders of the major leagues. Stability should be the team's main theme.
However, there was a big gap between the team's main force and the substitutes' performance, and the focused Higuaín's performance in limited appearances, which caused Real Madrid's frontline to speculate.
Calderón hinted that Real Madrid would not have a large-scale "cleansing" or signings in the summer.
His premise was if the team succeeded in winning La Liga and the Champions League!
"Real Madrid is a team with a complete lineup. In the past 16 months, we have changed 19 players. Therefore, we are not going to do any major surgery on the lineup this year. Of course, there may be unexpected signings, but I have to say that we are not ready yet. "
The Real Madrid president deliberately kept them in suspense and refused to reveal who the unexpected signings were. One thing was certain. Both Mundo Deportivo and AS believed that Real Madrid's recruitment next season was focused on the frontline, but the two newspapers' statements were still a little different.
AS listed a list of 10 players yesterday, saying that the summer investment for the transfer was about 100 million euros. They also attached a picture of Drogba on the front page, revealing that the "demon" who was almost certain to leave Chelsea in the summer was the focus of Real Madrid's attention. However, it first depended on whether Real Madrid could win La Liga and the Champions League.
Compared to AS, Mundo Deportivo's news was more specific. The newspaper revealed that half a month ago, the agent of the current Sevilla striker Fabiano, Fuentes, visited the Bernabéu. After the two sides contacted, Fuentes immediately said to the media, "I can only say that there are big clubs interested in Fabiano. Real Madrid? Which player doesn't want to play for Real Madrid? "
Fabiano was currently ranked third in the La Liga shooters list, just behind Qin Xiong and Raúl. However, his performance was enough to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy or Raúl.
According to the president of Sevilla, Del Nido, Fabiano's termination fee was 60 million euros, and the club that wanted him had to pay that amount. However, in fact, Fabiano's personal ownership was complicated. Seville had spent eight million euros to get 35% of Fabiano's ownership, and the remaining 65% was in a brokerage company. In other words, only by paying another 15 million Euros to the brokerage company would Seville be able to get all of Fabiano's rights, and the so-called 60 million Euros would be valid.
Fabiano's contract renewal negotiations with Sevilla did not make much progress. He had previously said, "If Sevilla cannot enter the Champions League next season, I cannot guarantee that I will continue to stay in this club."
Combined with the Spanish media's list, Fabiano was the one closest to Real Madrid. However, Real Madrid also had to face competition from other clubs, such as Tottenham Hotspur, which was coached by Juan Ramos. It was under the Spanish coach that Fabiano truly integrated into European football.
In addition to Fabiano, Mundo Deportivo also revealed that Real Madrid was also considering contacting Arsenal's midfielder, Flamini.
Flamini's contract expired in June this year, and he had not yet renewed his contract with Arsenal. The Frenchman's performance in the past two seasons had attracted the attention of major clubs, including AC Milan. Real Madrid's main purpose in contacting him was to put pressure on Diarra to give up the salary increase and stay in the team. Secondly, once they made progress in contacting Flamini, Diarra would be transferred to Inter Milan, but the transfer fee would not be too low. It should be around 20 million euros.
In fact, the main force in Real Madrid's internal locker room was not worried about Real Madrid's recruitment. Why would they care about a player like Qin Xiong?
Even if Real Madrid really bought Kaka, would any manager dare to put him on the bench?
Therefore, he could sit back and relax.
The recruitment that the media was talking about now was only to make the substitutes worry about their own fate. Only a few main players would care.
However, the key recruitment target that Calderón had shouted "to get Ronaldo in 2008" would make the locker room feel uneasy.
Because there were too many players that Ronaldo could replace. Even if he came, he could only replace one main player, but no one knew who he would replace. Naturally, they would be nervous and uneasy.
Real Madrid's senior management should be able to feel the locker room's resistance to Ronaldo. Coupled with the team's rapid momentum in La Liga and the Champions League, Calderón had to be stable if he wanted to continue in La Liga. If he wanted Real Madrid to be glorious and record their tenth Champions League title in history, the locker room needed stability even more!
Therefore, the club's senior management quickly stood up to put out the fire. It was a way of announcing to the public that everything in the locker room was stable.
In the interview, Mijatović first talked about the forward players that Real Madrid wanted to bring in.
In fact, in the center forward position, perhaps Real Madrid favored Benzema from Lyon the most.
Real Madrid's forward players were older. In the team's summer recruitment plan, the desire to bring in a forward was obvious.
Among the many candidates, Benzema from Lyon was the most reported. Marca reprinted the French star's tribute to Real Madrid, "Joining Real Madrid is a great honor for me."
Mijatović said publicly in an interview with Radio Basel, "Real Madrid will not consider Fàbregas and Cristiano Ronaldo anymore because they are indispensable figures in two thriving teams. In fact, with Benzema, these three players have put forward a big test and a difficult choice for Real Madrid. "
Speaking of Benzema, Mijatović frowned again, "He is an excellent player. As far as I know, one of Lyon's priorities is to renew his contract, so he is unlikely to leave there easily. As a popular player in the transfer market, Lyon's asking price will definitely not be low, and Real Madrid will also make the best market chase after carefully weighing the pros and cons. "
Mijatović's style of doing things was as cool as his playing style on the field. But for the "next king" mentioned by the editor-in-chief of France Football, Erno, Real Madrid was willing to do any scheming.
In this interview, Mijatović officially announced that Real Madrid had given up on bringing in Ronaldo and Fàbregas!
This was the real content that he hoped to convey to the outside world through the media, so that the Real Madrid locker room could calmly welcome the next challenge!
