BREAKING NEWS: Coming live from Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid is racing against time to secure two high-caliber signings. According to MARCA, the club has shifted gears, accelerating efforts to finalize these deals swiftly. This urgency follows Paris Saint-Germain’s sudden intervention. With the stakes higher than ever. Real Madrid ready to go at all cost to secure this two signings.
The conclusion of the Euro Cup, or rather the elimination of teams, will significantly shape the future of the transfer market. For Real Madrid, this signals a critical period where their transfer objectives seem well-defined, although unexpected developments, such as the emergence of Güler last year, could prompt earlier action than anticipated.
As reported by MARCA in recent months, two players are the primary targets for Real Madrid this transfer window, especially since Kylian Mbappé already has his photo in the Valdebebas locker room.
### Leny Yoro
Leny Yoro has made it clear to all interested teams that his desire is to join Real Madrid. However, time is of the essence, and negotiations with Lille are becoming urgent. The process began over a year ago, but significant progress was made in January 2024.
With each passing day, the pressure intensifies. PSG’s sporting director, Luis Campos, has entered the fray with a proposal that aligns closely with Lille’s €60 million valuation. Despite this, Yoro has consistently responded with a firm “Thanks, but no.” Not even Campos, a highly respected figure in football, has managed to sway the young defender, who recently vacationed in Ibiza.
Real Madrid is hesitant to meet Lille’s asking price for a player whose contract expires in a year, but negotiations are inevitable. Initially, they planned to wait until June 30, but due to mounting pressure from PSG, Manchester United, and Liverpool, the final discussions will likely happen sooner, reminiscent of the Tchouameni transfer scenario.
Real Madrid’s leadership is strategizing without Nacho and anticipating Rafa Marín’s departure. Consequently, next season’s central defense lineup under Carlo Ancelotti could include Militao, Rüdiger, Alaba, and Yoro if negotiations are successful. Additionally, Tchouameni is increasingly being considered for a central defender role, a view supported by the coaching staff.
### Alphonso Davies
Alphonso Davies’ situation differs significantly from Yoro’s. The approach to Davies has shifted from discretion to a more aggressive tactic since October 2023. The relationship between Bayern Munich and Davies is currently strained, with the player rejecting all renewal offers. This has led Bayern’s leadership to suspect an agreement with another club, possibly Real Madrid.
Real Madrid’s relationship with Bayern Munich is excellent, which could facilitate negotiations. However, Real Madrid is cautious due to Mendy’s impressive performance and Ancelotti’s request for his renewal. The coexistence of two established starters like Davies and Mendy, along with Fran García, presents a challenge.
Bayern is pushing the renewal issue to the limit, and Real Madrid believes Davies might soon extend his stay in Germany. While acquiring Davies is seen as a market opportunity, it is no longer deemed a critical necessity due to Mendy’s resurgence.
