Master Move: Real Madrid Plans a Double Blow for Barça and Atlético in 2025

Madrid wants to knock out Atlético and Barça with a double blow that will revolutionize the team

The two main rivals of the white team each season in the Spanish competition are clear: Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid. Both clubs are always the biggest headache for the Meringue institution every season. For this reason, President Florentino Pérez seems to be about to carry out a double operation that could leave them very affected.

It's about the potential acquisition of two players from the same team, Sporting Club de Portugal, for the club's future. We're referring to Ousmane Diomande and Zeno Debast, players on the radar of both Spanish teams. Two very interesting references from one of the revelation teams of the moment that could add a lot to the white structure.

Obviously, with Real Madrid joining the race for these players, it's a real threat to both clubs. This is because they can't offer anything close to a sports project and a future as promising as Real Madrid's.

They ruin their plans

These two players have a very interesting profile that definitely catches the board's attention. Mainly due to their youth and quality, which perfectly fits the future scheme Florentino Pérez wants.

The Belgian defender has shown great qualities in over 1,500 minutes across 22 matches played this season. A player with very good conditions, standing 6'3" tall and capable of playing in both central defense positions.

On the other hand, the one from Ivory Coast has also shown great performance alongside his Belgian teammate in defense.  Also with a good amount of minutes, surpassing 1,600 in 22 matches this season. Both players have great potential and are only 21 years old.

Two walls for the defense

The only obstacle for this to happen is that the Portuguese club might not let them leave as they are their two reliable central defenders. However, with a value of approximately 40 and 24 million euros, they are two players at a bargain price for Madrid.
