Florentino Cools Down a Signing, Totally Unexpected After Real Madrid's Defeat

Florentino didn't leave convinced from the match in London, and the signing of this star could completely cool off

Yesterday's match against Arteta's Arsenal in London was much tougher than desired, but because of the final result of the match. Now, the London team leaves with an almost crushing lead of 3 goals against an unrecognizable Real Madrid. This would reinforce the idea that the players who have caught the eye of the white club from Arsenal would be even better positioned, but it doesn't seem that easy.

Florentino Pérez hasn't been very happy with the performance of one of the best players in this squad, such as William Saliba. The Frenchman's game was somewhat lackluster, allowing many dangerous actions to a Real Madrid that caused little. Therefore, the president's interest in this French star would have declined against all odds, thus cooling the possibility of his signing.

The situation could change throughout the rest of the season, but it won't be so for now, which has left the top executive somewhat disappointed. This could trigger a considerable change of plans for the club's future regarding defense.

Florentino Disillusioned

It's nothing new that this player is considered one of the candidates to become the star reinforcement in Real Madrid's defense. A footballer with outstanding qualities that leave most teams around him very impressed.

However, in this last match against Madrid, Florentino noticed him much more distracted than desired against a white team in trouble. This caused several specific actions to become a latent danger for his team and a possible goal that would have changed the tie.

In numbers, he could only win once in the air against the merengue players, in addition to 2 lost possessions and without being able to win in ground duels. This raises doubts about his possible arrival in the Spanish capital.

They Must Decide

While there is still a lot of time to make the decision about his signing, there is already an indication of what might happen with his possible arrival at Real Madrid.
