Genie Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Unless I’m doing it wrong, the search function is suggesting there’s no Real Madrid thread already. The reason I was going to post was the recent news that they are releasing both Eden Hazard and Karim Benzema on free’s at the end of this month. Both have 1 year left on their contracts but have agreed terms to leave early. Benzema reportedly off to join Ronaldo in the Saudi league. Not sure who will take a chance on Hazard. 2 mega earners off the wage bill makes me think they are plotting something big, Mbappe probably… or maybe Haaland?

Mozzavfc Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Wouldn't surprise me if hazard retires. Injuries have ruined him, and his heart clearly isn't in it anymore, given his post- summer break weight issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 The Madrid press are hunting for clicks at least. Bellingham and Kane is still rumoured with Bellingham expected to be made official next week.

Genie Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 Marco Asensio another who has left the club for nothing this summer (I predict most people on this board were aware of that one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who will take a chance on Hazard. 2 mega earners off the wage bill makes me think they are plotting something big, Mbappe probably… or maybe Haaland? Mbappe is next summer apparently. As dysfunctional as PSG remain it's hard to believe they're going to let go of all of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in the same summer and he still does have two years left on his latest deal plus Macron stepped in last time to get him staying at PSG. Now Harry Edward Kane MBE then..... 12 months left on his deal. Wants to win things and has a very similar style to Benzema and looks like Madrid are drip feeding to the Spanish press which is textbook for all their big deals down the years. And Bellingham is all but signed so that's someone he could at least speak to in the dressing room given. He could be at Real Madrid three years and win two league titles and at least one CL and then come back to premier league at 33 and break the Shearer scoring record. The more I think about it the more I actually think it's pretty logical as a reasonably short term move for all parties (Spurs don't sell to domestic rival either) unless he flat out refuses to go abroad as his wife is expecting. One thing's for certain though, you don't turn Real Madrid down with 12 months left if there's genuine interest from their side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Already signed endrick who is considered the best 16 year old in the world for something like £70m but I'm sure he can't join for 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Real Madrid are one of the clubs it’s very difficult to say no to. They pay top money (outside of the joke leagues like Saudi or China), they’ll win trophies, they have the history, and then obviously the city and the weather. Kane not seeming to be the brightest though does pose a bigger risk than most to not settling in another country. United would seem the best option for him all things considered.

It's Your Round Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 No language barrier issues for Kane to worry about in Spain, he’s more than used to nobody being able to understand him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinicius finishing was really poor for first 18 months and then it started clicking and Rodrygo has only started become a first 11 player this season aswell.

As ridiculous as £86m for a football player seems, Real will probably get good long term value from the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
