Both players are not enough to be the main players of Madrid in this season. Moreover, Cristiano Ronaldo has left to Juventus.
Actually, from the recent rumors, some players were related to Madrid, for example, Neymar. The Brasilian player rumored to return to LaLiga after supporting Paris Saint-Germain for one season. At that time, Madrid mentioned as the right place for Neymar in becoming the world’s best player.
After that, Eden Hazard name came to the surface. In an interview, Hazard openly admitted that he was interested to support Madrid. But on the other hand, he felt happy to be in Chelsea.
The main point is, from the three names, no one becomes part of Madrid yet. Then, how would the Los Blancos move in the transfer market?
The LaLiga transfer market is still open until August 31. It means Florentino Perez has at least 15 days to finish the target players.
It’s also important to remember though Madrid have abundant financial power, it won’t be easy to ensure the club releasing their key players. Now, Perez needs to prepare the strategy to negotiate, or confidently play in the season with the current squad.
