Real Madrid's Discard for Which Barcelona Would Pay Almost €100M

Real Madrid continues to analyze the possibilities it has to make additions to its first team during the upcoming summer transfer window. Although a busy summer is expected, especially after the elimination in the Champions League quarter-finals, not all players fit well in the locker room.

One of those footballers who has been recently ruled out from the Valdebebas offices is none other than Jamal Musiala. Bayern Munich's '42' was on the list of potential future additions for the Madrid bosses as a possible significant addition to the midfield for several seasons. The dynamics of this season have played a key role in his definitive exclusion.

Toni Kroos's retirement has left a significant void in Real Madrid's field direction and play. While it is true that Dani Ceballos assumed those roles, the Madrid bosses would seek a more established solution in the European football elite. That's why Juni Calafat's scouts continue to search for a playmaking pivot, a creative midfielder with a defensive profile, definitively moving away from the attacking midfielder profile.

Jamal Musiala fits that tactical disposition that the first white team would have more than covered thanks to fantastic players like Jude Bellingham, Brahim Díaz, or Arda Güler. Given the depth and proven quality of the Madrid squad in that position, combined with the need to sign a playmaking pivot, the Bavarian '42' loses many points.

Club Exchange

Definitely far from a possible transfer to Santiago Bernabéu locker room, that void left by Real Madrid is filled by other elite European clubs. One of the first to seek Jamal Musiala is FC Barcelona, which has experienced a significant change in trend by completely improving its results.

Amidst that optimism caused by the arrival of Hansi Flick, the executives led by Joan Laporta would look favorably on attempting to sign the Bavarian star. According to information published by 'El Nacional', FC Barcelona prefers to sign Jamal Musiala rather than acquire the football services of Nico Williams.

That change would be conditioned, at the same time, by the 'definitive explosion' of FC Barcelona's key wingers. Both Lamine Yamal and Raphinha are essential players in Hansi Flick's starting eleven, so the addition of the Bilbao '10' would be unnecessary. The objective of the blaugrana sports management is to offer more attacking solutions to the midfield.

They would do so with a player that Hansi Flick himself knows well: both coincided at Bayern Munich. Despite those intentions, it will not be an easy transfer, because from the Sӓbener Straβe offices they would demand a minimum transfer fee of 100M euros for his departure.
