Real Madrid finds its new Toni Kroos at zero cost, Florentino gives the OK

The season continues to progress, so Carlo Ancelotti is focused on what he can control, as he doesn't want his players to lose focus, especially because the schedule is relentless and Atlético de Madrid and Manchester City appear on the horizon.

However, Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez, who already have Trent Alexander-Arnold secured, do consider the possibility of strengthening the squad.

This causes the rumors to keep increasing, something that can only grow, especially if Real Madrid's name is in the eye of the storm.

New midfielder?

Since Toni Kroos left the white club, the names of Joshua Kimmich or Martín Zubimendi have been in all the predictions.

"There isn't a 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 play to their characteristics," expressed Carlo Ancelotti himself.

The reality is that the sports managers don't consider adding a reinforcement in the midfield area.

Real Madrid is delighted with what they have and with the quality leap that Dani Ceballos himself has given to their play.

The only option for this to change is if a renowned midfielder becomes available and doesn't have a significant impact on the finances of the merengue team.

Additionally, this will also depend on what happens with Luka Modric, whose contract ends next June.

The Balkan midfielder is eager to renew his bond with the Madrid entity, although this isn't entirely clear at Bernabéu.

In Real Madrid's offices, they are convinced that Carlo Ancelotti's squad only needs some tweaks, mainly in defense.

This area of the white club is at a minimum, as it's lacking personnel due to injuries.

This explains that the sports managers' bet will be to incorporate new players during the summer, but who offer immediate performance, with a clear vision of the present and the future.
