Real Madrid Confidencial Real Madrid Sets a 2-year Deadline to Sign the World's Best, Mbappé Smiles
Real Madrid continues working to ensure the success of its squad's future
The work in the Valdebebas offices doesn't stop, even though Carlo Ancelotti's team is in the midst of competition.
Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez know that every summer they must strengthen Carlo Ancelotti's squad, so they are already planning for 2025-2026.
"It's hard to match, we're going to fight to keep winning titles, we've started this season with two titles and we'll see what's left, the League, the Champions, and some more. Having a good team is the most important thing. It's what I've tried to do all these years and the truth is we've won many and we have the ambition to keep winning them. This is the work of many years, of many people, that the whole world is full of Madridists. It's a satisfaction and a responsibility, I'm going to keep working to give them these joys," expressed the merengue president a few weeks ago.
These words from Florentino Pérez have been a clear declaration of intentions, so his work will increase in the coming months.
Reinforcement for the Defense
The work is currently focused on strengthening the flanks, as the emergence of Raúl Asencio has changed the initial plans of the Madrid entity.
The initial idea of the white club was to sign a center-back, but this has changed, although the target remains William Saliba, who has a market value of 80 "kilos."
"Madrid knows very well how to handle this kind of situation. The Frenchman, 23 years old and with a physical power that is intimidating, has a contract until 2027. That is to say, the white team could try to negotiate a low transfer in 2026 or try to ensure he doesn't renew with Arsenal, or leaves for another club and bring him in for free once he's free. It seems crazy, but it's not so much if we consider that they've closed deals like this with Alaba, Rüdiger, Kylian Mbappé, and are about to do so with Alexander-Arnold," they explained in Relevo.
This confirms that the white club, barring a last-minute surprise, won't make any signings for the center of the defense.
