Real Madrid may have said goodbye to the Liga title this weekend. This Saturday was indeed terrible for the Merengues, who first lost 2-1 on Majorca’s pitch, a team that was in the relegation zone at the start of the game. Then, they had to watch FC Barcelona snatch 3 points in a very complicated match against Atletico Madrid thanks to a goal from Robert Lewandowski at the end of the game. There are now seven points that separate Real Madrid from Barcelona; a significant gap therefore…
If there is still the Champions League, one thing seems obvious: Real Madrid will recruit heavily this summer. One or two midfielders are expected, and there could also be a major defensive overhaul. The newspaper El Mundo gives a bit more information on the restructuring of the Merengue defensive sector, with a first piece of information: the club wants to extend Antonio Rudiger and an agreement could be reached in the coming days.
A new young player in Madrid?
Second piece of interesting information: Madrid’s decision-makers have doubts about Raul Asencio’s potential to become a key player, considering him just a backup player. If a good offer comes in, he could be sold. Then, the media explains that Real Madrid is interested in a new player: Jon Martin, a 19-year-old central defender who plays for Real Sociedad.
The player from the Basque club’s academy and a Spain U21 international is one of the sensations of the season on the other side of the Pyrenees. He adds to a list of candidates to strengthen the defense that includes Jacobo Ramon (Came), a former player, and Nico Schlotterbeck (Dortmund), even though the trend now seems to be towards an extension for the German. Under contract with Real until 2031, Jon Martin has a release clause of €50 million.
