Real Madrid stumbles on in the Champions League. In La Liga, it is virtually a dead heat between Barcelona, Real and Atletico Madrid, with the Catalan club in favour. Last summer, Ancelotti brought in Kylian Mbappé, the summer before Jude Bellingham. Now the royal club is planning a shopping trip to London and Tottenham.
Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold looks set to end up at Real Madrid. With injuries to David Alaba and Eder Militao, Ancelotti should and must have more width in central defence as well. Liverpool are about to lose their key player at right-back to Real, Tottenham’s big centre-back.
According to Teamtalk, there is a buyout clause in Cristian Romero’s contract of around £60 million. The English media claim that the Argentine world champion is high on Real Madrid’s wish list.
Should the signing of Alexander-Arnold slip away for Real, Tottenham’s Pedro Porro (market value of €45 million) is also on the shortlist of the La Liga giants. For Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou, this could mean huge sales revenues, but major, negative consequences for the defence.
We recommend the Spurs management to close the hatches in the summer transfer window. The price for a Spurs defence without Romero and Porro will be too high.
