The summer transfer window for Real Madrid is starting to take shape months before it officially opens.
In June, it is anticipated that Kylian Mbappe’s long-awaited transfer to the Spanish capital would finally happen and make headlines as one of the largest thefts in the history of the sport.
In addition, Perez informed the French player that Alphonso Davies and Leny Yoro—both of whom seem to be on track right now—will be the club’s two other major summer additions.
Two substantial offers
Two of Chelsea’s top players have reportedly made offers to Florentino Perez in recent weeks, according to Defensa Central reports.
Due to pressure to offload players following excessive spending in the last few transfer windows, the London-based team made offers to the Spanish powerhouses for Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez.
Fernandez, the 2022 World Cup winner, became the most expensive midfield acquisition in league history when he signed with Chelsea in January of last year, paying €121 million. He hasn’t lived up to the hype, though, and Chelsea is looking to let him go.
Cucurella, on the other hand, is a 2022 graduate of Barcelona’s La Masia and cost €65 million when acquired by Chelsea. Although he is a left-back by trade, the English team has not used him as a regular starter this year.
The position of Real Madrid
The same source said that Real Madrid is not impressed by either offer and does not think either player would significantly improve the already elite team.
In the long run, Aurelien Tchouameni can cover the defensive midfield position, thus Fernanadez’s profile is not necessary, according to Carlo Ancelotti. Furthermore, the management believes that the present group of midfield players possesses a wide range of abilities.
Meanwhile, Cucurella’s deal is even less logical in light of Real Madrid’s desire to recruit Alphonso Davies. The Canadian sensation is a better player in the eyes of the Merengues, and his arrival will secure the left-back spot for many years to come.
