Talk Real Madrid

dancoombs59d ago

Jose is going to be furious now he has landed at Barcelona. The meltdown hasn’t officially begun yet - but when it does, this will be the moment they point back to

charlesjones59d ago

Whoever gets Rodri wins the CL. Simple as that I think

jamesshearman2359d ago

Terrible if he goes to Barcelona instead!

jonny59d ago

He needs to help win them the Champions League, put up Ronaldo numbers and become an icon. Anything less for that money and he hasn’t delivered. Not confident he will given how big money signings don’t tend to do well, but Madrid usually get it right

dantowen8195160d ago

He’s gonna be under immediate pressure to get 20 goals and 15 assists. The Real fans won’t accept any settling in period

jamesshearman2360d ago

This is a ridiculous move unless Vini Jr is leaving. Too many chefs in the kitchen

freddie61d ago

Right back, he’s the best of the best.

jamesshearman2361d ago

His best position is right-back but Mourinho of all managers will be frustrated with his defending

david.comerford61d ago

Trent turns 28 in October. The time for experimenting is over until he's 35 and slow

I liked Endrick but Camavinga really isn’t cutting it

dantowen8195165d ago

I do like Espi. He’s certainly something different - a physical no 9, great in the air, and a brilliant presser I could see Mbappe combining with him well, given his back to goal potential

martin.crawford65d ago

Getting Espi for €25m and selling Garcia for Fulham to €40m looks like amazing business, seemingly handed on a plate to Real

james.brooke66d ago

Espi will be just another Mariano Diaz, will barely play and spend the next 5 years of his career jumping between loans. Terrible move for him

dantowen8195165d ago

He looked really really good at times during his Lyon spell. My worry though is there’s just not enough minutes available for him at Real I feel another loan move - preferably to the Prem - suits real best

james.brooke66d ago

He shouldn’t be moved on but it’s hard to see how he gets enough game time. A loan might work

jamie.brown8268d ago

I don’t think he’s ready to play for RM! I’d like to see him get another loan, hopefully to La Liga or maybe a Premier League club?? 👀🇧🇷

tom.procter68d ago

One of the best penalty box poachers ever, but not better than CR7, Benzema, Raul, Ronaldo, Mbappe or Higuain

dantowen8195168d ago

Lacks the longevity and trophy haul of Benzema obviously, but probably deserves to sit alongside Higuain

callum_boyle69d ago

In the top 10 for sure. Wouldn’t have him above the likes of Benzema, Raul etc but not sure where I’d exactly place him

dantowen8195168d ago

It doesn’t seem like it, no. If you just use Mbappe as a no9 and don’t let him drift, you’re wasting so much of his talents. And Vini’s end product has been questionable to say the least for a while now anyway

jameslloyd14.jl70d ago

I think we’ve already seen that no, it can’t. I don’t think you can build teams with two luxury stars who don’t reliably defend in 2026. Think there has to be a sacrifice (please get it done Mr Berta)

markmarston70d ago

Yeah would sell Vini Jr if he’s not signing a new deal. Diomande coming in anyway

leeclarke050871d ago

City losing a diamond. This could end in tears.

kyle.dimond71d ago

It’s as good a signing as you can possibly make for Real. Suppose there might be a question of whether the World Cup form continues and if injuries will come back around but it’s so worth that risk. Cheat code player

jamie.brown8271d ago

Madrid NEED a leader and balance in their team. They have all the big names, but missing balance and someone to guide them. Rodri WOULD be that player. He would be a transformational signing, imo!

dantowen8195168d ago

Haha one year ago, he left Leganes for just €20m. Leganes is about 25 miles down the road from Madrid

jamie.brown8271d ago

Where on earth do these clubs get these values from??? He’s an elite talent, but £87M??? Do me a favour!

dale.odonnell72d ago

Real Madrid buying players so no-one else can have them at this rate.

tom.procter73d ago

Corrr that’s a beauty

dale.odonnell74d ago

Nice design, love the neck.

freddie74d ago

Kit of the summer so far for me! 😍

dale.odonnell74d ago

Match made in heaven? 👀

freddie75d ago

Not a lot we he’s already brilliant, even last season. Needs those around him to step up

amirmir76d ago

Show him what PSG have done since he left them.

freddie86d ago

Let Vini know who is boss and that it isn’t his team… needs a good reality check

chillout86d ago

Winning a trophy would be good.

james.brooke86d ago

Get Khedira straight in the midfield

chillout91d ago

FIFA named Real Madrid ‘Club of the Century’ in 2000. The club won the first 5 European Cups from 1955, and were the first team to win the rebranded Champions League in 1998. In 1931-32, Real Madrid became the first team to win La Liga undefeated, and they are the only club to have won 5 consecutive La Liga titles twice.

kyle.dimond108d ago

He’s obviously a great signing for them but I struggle to work it out as well. I feel like Jude and Valverde already do similar things to Bernardo’s best attributes. Jose will love his work rate though

dantowen81951109d ago

I wonder if Real could use Bernardo and Valverde as the eights either side of Tchouemeni and Bellingham in a diamond?

adam98williams109d ago

Perez the free agent maestros strike again. Think Silva at this stage in his career will be happy to rotate. They are so stacked in midfield.

peter.lynch110d ago

They’ve clearly had their struggles at LB, think he’ll be a fan favorite in Madrid, certainly knows how to make his presence felt!

dantowen81951110d ago

Great deal. Left-back has been a problem position for a while. I’d be interested to hear from Real fans what this means for Carreras though

freddie111d ago

Great move for Madrid, terrible for Chelsea! Feels like a steal

freddie111d ago

So so good! He works hard, never injured, experienced winning the lot, and is just unbelievable technically

james.brooke114d ago

Doesn’t feel like a very Madrid type signing but could work out. Looks older than he is as well, so could actually still have 4/5 years in him

callum_boyle115d ago

Real Madrid need some wiser heads to keep the mavericks at bay. Losing Carvajal meant they needed to get someone who can manage them. Bernardo will be great at this, although I always thought he’d end up at Barcelona

pranav.shahaney116d ago

I quite enjoyed it as a neutral. Love seeing any of the big boys getting bullied even if it’s being done by other big boys.

aikansh116d ago

Just inflating Alvarez’s price for Barcelona, elite trolling!😂

david.comerford116d ago

I've never seen a club make a bid with no intention of signing a player, but it genuinely feels like they're trying to screw Barcelona over. Evil genius behaviour

pranav.shahaney116d ago

My interest in La Liga has suddenly increased. He’s going to bring in a lot of casuals and El Clasicos are going to be one of the most-watched games of the season once again. He may be toxic for Real Madrid in the long run, but I’m here to enjoy all the drama that unfolds

aikansh116d ago

The chosen one will become The dumped one😬

david.comerford116d ago

Whatever happens, you can guarantee it's going to be box office
