FIFA is organizing a new format of the World Championship for clubs, and with the introduction of this competition, clubs will have the opportunity to strengthen their squads. Real Madrid is preparing for serious structural changes to participate competitively in this tournament.
Ronaldo may return
According to Spanish media, including publications like Eldesmarque, Defensa Central, and Fichajes, the "Royal Club" intends to attract several star players to strengthen its squad. One of the most important names among them is Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 38-year-old Portuguese forward currently plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, and despite having several offers from European teams, the likelihood of returning to Madrid is very high. The Real Madrid management is considering the option of bringing him back to the team on loan at least for the tournament.
Four major transfers planned
The Madrid club aims to strengthen its squad not only for the short term but also based on long-term plans. According to sources, the team wants to see the following players in its ranks:
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) – The English defender is currently considered one of the best right-backs in the world. He is one of Real's short-term goals and is seen as a replacement for Carvajal.
Dean Huijsen (Juventus) – The Juventus young defender is considered one of the main candidates for the central defense of the Madrid club.
Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad) – One of the players being brought in to strengthen the midfield. He is currently attracting attention from European clubs.
Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool) – The French central defender has become one of the main transfer targets for strengthening Real's defense.
Seven players may leave the team
Before the new tournament, Real is preparing to part ways with several players. According to sources, the following names are on the list of players who may leave the team:
1. Luka Modric – The 38-year-old Croatian legendary midfielder is likely to leave the team. Zubimendi could take his place.
2. Arda Güler – The young talented Turkish player may leave for another club to gain regular playing time.
3. Jesus Vallejo – The central defender, not considered a priority option, is expected to be sold.
4. Eduardo Camavinga – Several top European clubs are interested in Camavinga, and he may leave the team based on Real's transfer plans.
5. Aurelien Tchouameni – Like Camavinga, he has been playing in the team for quite some time, but his future remains uncertain.
6. David Alaba – Due to serious competition in central defense, he may also leave for another club.
7. Rodrigo Goes – The Brazilian winger is on the list of potential leavers due to not being able to fully showcase himself in the team.
Before the new World Championship among clubs, Real is planning to implement serious changes. The club intends to make five major transfers to strengthen its squad while potentially selling seven players. How much these changes will help the Madrid team succeed in the championship will become clear during the tournament.
