Real Madrid Confidencial Goodbye to Real Madrid, He Was Rumored to Be the Natural Successor to Toni Kroos
Real Madrid says goodbye to a footballer who could strengthen Carlo Ancelotti's team
The summer transfer market is very busy for Real Madrid, even though it is still closed.
In the first team, the calendar rules, as it gives no respite, but in the Valdebebas offices, the situation is different.
Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez are focused on strengthening Carlo Ancelotti's squad, but not at any price and with inexplicable madness in between.
Many names have been mentioned to reinforce the merengue team, although the objectives have always been very clear.
The idea of the white club is to sign players for the full-back positions, the central defense, and the midfield, as well as any other available market opportunity.
However, this last objective is not easy at all, since the footballer sought is to 'replace' Toni Kroos, although Carlo Ancelotti already warned that this is impossible.
"There is no player with Kroos's characteristics in the market, but we have to replace him in another way. We have midfielders with a lot of quality, and we have to adapt next season's game to their characteristics," expressed the Italian coach.
Kimmich, Discarded
One who could come close to the role Toni Kroos played was Joshua Kimmich, although the German will renew with Bayern.
Finally, the German midfielder has forced the Bavarian giant to go all out to extend his contract until 2029, two reasons why Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez discarded the talented footballer.
"Besides his proven quality, Kimmich has in his favor that he would arrive on a free transfer because his contract ends in June, but Real Madrid doesn't find him suitable not only because of his age (30 years) but also because of his very high economic demands, which would place him, if the signing bonus is included, in the top 4 highest-paid in the squad, only surpassed by the BMV, Bellingham, Mbappé, and Vinícius," explained journalist Miguel Serrano from 'OKD'.
This makes it clear that the white club will not go crazy for players who will soon begin the decline of their careers.
