Tchouaméni out of Real Madrid and This Star in His Place, Florentino's Plan

One of the transfers that Real Madrid has considered to expand its squad during the summer of 2025 would be to join the midfield roster. This season's injuries, as well as the retirement of Toni Kroos , have highlighted that the white entity needs an organizing pivot.

While it is true that Tchouaméni and Camavinga are pivots , neither of these two French players would've the vision or creativity sought by the Real Madrid sporting management. In this sense, the list of potential players for the Whites is beginning to include elite players such as Martín Zubimendi or Joshua Kimmich , options that fit the requested requirements.

But the evolution of the 24/25 season has also given the club's scouts the opportunity to look for other names such as Ryan Gravenberch . The Liverpool '38', after a less than brilliant spell at Bayern Munich, has positioned himself at Anfield Road as Fabinho's 'heir' in the center of the field.

The confidence that Arne Slot , the new Reds coach, has given to the Dutch pivot has allowed him to recover his elite level at just 22 years of age . The interest of several teams from the European soccer elite is once again circling him, although the offices of Kirkby don't seem very prepared to part with this player .

Another Option

Real Madrid are one of the teams that are clearly interested in transfer Ryan Gravenberch. The performances of Aurélien Tchouaméni , the club's starting stopper to date, don't seem to be convincing those who make the decisions. Only Carlo Ancelotti remains one of his greatest supporters , but the central position could be a step in the right direction.

In any case, the pivot position would remain vacant . If Eduardo Camavinga doesn't finally assume the starting position in the center of the Madrid midfield, a debate that could arise in a few weeks, the executives of the Whites will take the definitive step .

The addition of Ryan Gravenberch, complemented by Camavinga himself, would allow Carlo Ancelotti to return to the double pivot that operated during last season. This tactical strategy has provided the team with a certain balance in recent games, but with the rightspecialists it could once again be a strength .

It remains to be seen what decision Real Madrid will make regarding the possible transfer of Gravenberch. Liverpool will demand a transfer fee of around 60 million euros , the same amount that appears in Martín Zubimendi's release clause . The Real Sociedad number '4' is currently the number one player on the list of possible transfers.
