Rocky Start to the New Season
Hey there, Real Madrid fans! The start of this season hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing for Los Blancos. With just two wins and two draws from their first four La Liga matches, the team seems to be struggling a bit. It’s not quite the dominant start we hoped for, and things are getting a bit tense at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Disappointing Summer
So, here’s the scoop. Carlo Ancelotti, our manager, had big plans this summer. According to recent reports, he asked for a couple more signings to strengthen the squad. But Real Madrid turned him down. The club did bring in Kylian Mbappe and Endrick early on, which was great news. However, Ancelotti also wanted a new defender after Nacho Fernandez’s departure. Unfortunately, our bid for Leny Yoro didn’t pan out, as he ended up at Manchester United. On top of that, Ancelotti hoped to add another coach to his staff but had to stick with the current team. With injuries plaguing six of our players, not investing more could be a tough pill to swallow as the season progresses.
Florian Wirtz’s Transfer Blow
In other news, Real Madrid’s plans to bring Florian Wirtz to the Bernabeu next year have hit a snag. Bayern Munich are stepping up their efforts to sign the German midfielder, who had an impressive season with Bayer Leverkusen. Wirtz’s stats from last season—18 goals and 20 assists—caught our eye as we look to fill the gap left by Toni Kroos’s retirement. However, Bayern Munich, known for snagging top talent, are also eyeing Wirtz. With his contract running until 2027, getting him could be quite pricey. Plus, Manchester City is rumored to be interested too. So, it’s not going to be easy to land him.
Alphonso Davies on the Radar
Lastly, Real Madrid considered making a move for Alphonso Davies towards the end of the summer transfer window. The Canadian left-back is in the final year of his contract with Bayern Munich and hasn’t signed a new deal yet. With the club looking for an upgrade on Ferland Mendy, Davies seemed like a priority target. Despite the strong interest, a deal didn’t materialize this time around. It’s clear we were keen, but sometimes things just don’t come together.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, it’s crucial to stay optimistic. Real Madrid always bounces back, and with the transfer window closing soon, there might still be surprises. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for some positive news and a turn in our season’s fortunes!
