Real Madrid are looking to bounce back after their disappointing form last season. Madrid have already separated their ways from Zinedine Zidane and appointed Carlo Ancelotti as the new manager. The Italian is back for his second spell at Los Blancos after leaving the club in 2015. Ancelotti will be looking forward to restructuring the team and bring back Real Madrid’s forgotten glory.
The Italian needs to focus on the two issues that need to be solved as soon as possible. Firstly, Madrid needs good attacking options in the right-wing, following the poor form of Eden Hazard and Vinicius junior. Hazard has been rarely seen playing for Real Madrid due to his frequent injury. While Vinicius has the worst record in terms of scoring goals.
The second issue that needs to be handled is regarding the backline. Madrid needs to add a new center-back option, following the departure of Sergio Ramos and the uncertain future of Raphael Varane. Ramos left the club as a free agent after failing to renew his contract with Madrid in time. While Varane is heavily linked with a transfer to Premier League giants Manchester United.
However, Madrid have already signed David Alba this summer to replace Ramos at the backline. But they still need to solve the issues of Varane, Hazard, and Vinicius. Following which Real Madrid are currently active in the summer transfer market. So, here are some of the latest Real Madrid transfer updates.
