Nothing More is Needed: Only 2 Essential Transfers for Real Madrid in 5 Years

Florentino Pérez has to cover two positions and the team will be the most complete in recent years

Starting from the premise that Real Madrid won't transfer anyone in January unless there's a radical change, the club continues to work constantly. They're focusing on the club's two main targets: Trent Alexander-Arnold for the right wing position and Alphonso Davies for the left flank.

Even though Real Madrid has a clear intention to get their services, everything points to it not being easy. Especially in the case of Alphonso Davies, who will listen to Bayern München's renewal offer before any other club's.

What's happening with the wingers?

Trent Alexander-Arnold does seem to be closer to Madrid. The Englishman, who is expected to be the successor to Carvajal at right wing, could join the white team next summer.

The 26-year-old English player is determined to close his chapter at Liverpool. His goal is to transfer with the white team and experience playing away from England. Additionally, his friendship with Jude Bellingham is a significant factor that could see him donning the white jersey in the future.

On the other hand, the situation with Alphonso Davies is more complex. The Canadian, who also has a contract expiring, will listen to Bayern München's offers before any other club's.

The Bavarian team hasn't given up on his renewal and, over the coming months, could offer him a new contract. At that point, depending on what Alphonso Davies decides, Real Madrid will act or not.

They're the two key transfers

Thus, the white team, with Florentino and Ancelotti at the helm, continues working in their offices for the next season. In the white team, according to reports from "Relevo", the directive is clear: sign two full-backs.

In fact, the mentioned source claims that at Madrid there's confidence that, except for the full-backs, the team could survive another five years without transfers.

There's constant talk about the arrival of a central defender or a midfielder to fill Kroos's absence. However, Florentino Pérez's priorities remain both flanks.
