Goodbye to Real Madrid, Heading to the Bundesliga after Florentino's OK

The winter transfer market is slowly progressing, and we're almost halfway through. At Real Madrid, it seems completely ruled out that anyone will be transfered during January. All operations will be postponed until next summer.

However, they are clearing the way for some of the moves they have planned. Alexander Arnold could already sign to join Bernabéu when his contract ends. A very different path from the one Gonçalo Inácio is taking, as he is moving further away.

The Portuguese central defender from Sporting CP was one of the transfers Real Madrid was considering for the defense. At 23 years old and with a good performance in Portugal, he had impressed at Bernabéu. However, his high cost, initially around 60 – 80 million euros, was seen as too high.

Everything indicates that he will end up going to the Bundesliga after Florentino reconsidered his transfer. Borussia wants to finalize it through a loan with a purchase obligation. In fact, his agent will have meetings in Germany in the coming days to tie everything up.

Real Madrid doesn't want to lose their head searching for a central defender in the market

In recent months, Real Madrid doesn't seem to be in such a hurry to sign a center-back in the market. The emergence of Raúl Asencio and the good impressions of Diego Aguado in the Copa have provided calm. That's why they don't want to lose their head trying to find the most suitable one.

They know there aren't many alternatives available, and those that are have a high price. Inácio is an example of this, but the white team wasn't going to reach such amounts for him. In fact, they continue searching, with a defined plan they don't want to deviate from.

They're looking for a young, reliable center-back who can have a long career with the merengue team. However, they don't want to pay a fortune and repeat cases like Jovic. Therefore, they will choose the most suitable one, without the need to rush to close it now.
