The Failure At The Supercopa De Espana Did Not Change Madrid's Transfer Plans
JAKARTA - Real Madrid's only move in the transfer window last summer was to bring back loan player Martin Odegaard from Real Sociedad. Likewise, Los Blancos are expected to follow their strict transfer plan this January and not sign any players despite their subpar performances and recent poor results.
"It is what it is and will be like this until the end of the season," insiders from inside the club confirmed as reported by MARCA, Tuesday, January 19. "And with this squad you can win titles."
Although Luka Jovic leaves for Eintracht Frankfurt on loan and a possible move for Alvaro Odriozola, Real Madrid are not expected to enter the market looking for a substitute.
In the two weeks remaining of the transfer window, no signings are expected as Zinedine Zidane has yet to ask the club for help. Apart from that, Real Madrid also cannot afford to spend money to buy players considering they have just cut wages with the current squad.
One of the players offered into the Los Blancos squad is the Lyon striker, and Barcelona transfer target, Memphis Depay. However, Real Madrid insisted that they must first evaluate the development of their current squad.
Los Blancos recognize that there are many quality players in the squad at the moment, who are expected to fulfill their potential on the pitch.
They believe that Zidane's mission is to help players who have played a few minutes like Vinicius Junior, Fede Valverde and Odegaard to find their form again.
There is even hope that the Frenchman can unlock Eden Hazard's potential and help him become a devastating player while at Chelsea.
Final evaluation in JuneDespite losing the Supecopa de Espana title and struggling in both La Liga and the Champions League, Zidane and his players will be evaluated at the end of the season.
In June, the club will decide which players have the ability to stay at Los Blancos.
Zidane will also be evaluated, as Real Madrid are expected to compete to win all three remaining competitions, including the Copa del Rey.
