It didn't stop there, Los Blancos were willing to give the green light for two major transfers if anyone left.
Two targets, one of which is left-back Alphonso Davies. Madrid is also trying to land in the summer of 2025.
The Canadian national team defender is being lobbied by Madrid not to extend his contract with Bayern Munich which expires in June 2025.
Apart from Davies, Jamal Musiala is on the following major transfer list. Madrid sees Musiala as a world-class player who will match Carlo Ancelotti's manager system.
So far, there has been no contract renewal with Bayern Munich which will expire in the summer of 2026.
However, seeing Real Madrid trying to open negotiations with Musiala, Munich is determined to offer the 21-year-old player's contract extension in the near future.
Especially for Musiala, Madrid's maneuver in an effort to attract the German national team player seems to be difficult.
In addition to Bayern's desire to maintain its important assets, Los Blancos must compete with Barcelona.
Musiala is one of the most coveted players at Camp Nou. President Joan Laporta wants the recruitment of star players by 2025.
Musiala is also the main target of the Blaugrana. Only now who dares to spend big money for the attacking midfielder. You see, it is estimated that interested clubs need funds of 130 million euros to recruit him.
