Real Madrid’s Summer Balancing Act: Big Decisions on Players, Transfers, and Loans

Everything is going well on the Madrid side. A Liga celebrated as it should be this weekend, and, on the horizon, the possibility of winning a fifteenth Champions League on June 1 against Borussia Dortmund. In addition, the Merengues already know that they will welcome Kylian Mbappé this summer and can look to the future with legitimately excessive optimism.

Especially since in addition to Mbappé, the Madrilenians have also concluded, for several months already, the arrival of an Endrick who looks particularly promising. However, at the same time, there are several hot issues to still manage, and the summer will not be easy for Florentino Pérez, José Angel Sanchez, Juni Calafat and Carlo Ancelotti. There are three types of sensitive cases: those which concern players present at the club, those who are targets for the transfer window, then, those who are currently on loan or under the control of the Madrilenians.

Big decisions to make

In the first category: there are many. The future of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Nacho and Lucas Vazquez, all at the end of their contracts. For the first two, the trend is rather towards optimism in the Madrid press this Monday. This is not necessarily the case for Nacho, who may well leave this summer. Lucas Vazquez should extend his contract, again according to information published everywhere in Spain this Monday. As for Joselu, on loan from Espanyol, we should also see him in Madrid next year, since the Merengues will exercise their purchase option of 1.5 million euros. Finally, Lunin, who many predicted would leave following the return of Courtois, is unlikely to leave the club.

As for potential arrivals, there too, it is vague. Alphonso Davies seemed to be a priority a few months ago, but the good level of Ferland Mendy during the big European matches has calmed Madrid’s enthusiasm a little. Suffice it to say that splurging for the Canadian is no longer on the agenda. The Leny Yoro case is for example cited by The Uncheck, but this is more a bet for the future than a real need. However, the Madrilenians know that other big clubs are on it and that we potentially have to act quickly. Finally, we will also have to decide for the left side Miguel Gutierrez, brilliant in Girona and on whom Real Madrid has a purchase option of 10 million euros. Then, Rafa Marin, loaned to Alavés, could have a place in the team if Nacho leaves, or be loaned for one more season. You will have understood, the summer is going to be hot at the Bernabéu.
