Florentino and Calafat Agree on It, a 'Discarded' Player by the Club Could be a Bomb

The star transfer for 2025 that Florentino Pérez and Juni Calafat are already preparing

Always seeking to improve their performance from last season, Real Madrid aims to transfer the best players. Whether through a well-thought-out operation or taking advantage of the end of a contract, the club has achieved great acquisitions. Part of the latter group, Florentino Pérez and Juni Calafat have shown interest in a star.

Joshua Kimmich is the player in question who could join Real Madrid next summer. With the end of his contract with Bayern Munich, the player has been strongly linked to the white club. Calafat himself, looking to assess the situation, has already initiated contacts for a possible transfer of the German.

Despite Liverpool's interest, some media in Germany have placed Real Madrid as the favorite to transfer Kimmich. However, the Bavarian board's optimism in retaining the player has emerged as a significant issue.

The first summer bomb

With several transfers in mind for the summer, Kimmich could be the first star to reinforce Real Madrid. The 29-year-old German is one of the best midfielders in the world. His defensive qualities and ability to play as a right winger would be of great help to Real Madrid next season.

Being in the last six months of his contract, his move to Valdebebas has begun to be worked on by Calafat. With Florentino's approval, Calafat has the green light to make the signing of a player who has played 2,610 minutes this season.

Despite confidence in Calafat's abilities, Bayern is known for being a club that always complicates the departure of its stars. Maintaining confidence in being able to renew his contract, Kimmich's future is far from having a clear destination.

Problems with the Bavarians

Having played 10 seasons with Bayern, Kimmich might be ready to take the next step in his career. All Real Madrid needs is to convince the player to reject any offers from the Bavarians. A challenging but not impossible task for someone with Calafat's capabilities and ingenuity.
