Latest Real Madrid transfer update; Mbappé, Haaland, Reece James, Alphonso Davies

Real Madrid’s strategic planning for the upcoming season involves a significant overhaul of their squad. Here are the latest transfer update from the Spanish capital as reported by Relevo.

Reece James

Among the top prospects stands Reece James from Chelsea, a player long favored by the club.

However, the English right-back remains tied to Chelsea until 2028, complicating immediate negotiations.

Despite this hurdle, Real Madrid keeps a close watch on James, considering his adaptability and potential to meet the Bernabéu’s demanding standards.

The Englishman has also been the favorite for Real Madrid chief scout Juni Calafat as long as the right-back is concerned.

Alphonso Davies

In addition to James, the club is eyeing Alphonso Davies, whose contract situation at Bayern Munich presents an opportunity for negotiation. The Canadian left-back, at 23 years old, fits into the club’s policy of targeting young, standout talents.

Kylian Mbappé

Simultaneously, the club is gearing up to present an enticing offer to Kylian Mbappé, set to become a free agent in June.

The potential signing of the French attacker is a key agenda for Florentino Pérez, despite the disappointments of previous pursuits. Real Madrid plans to lay out their terms to Mbappé in early 2024, showcasing optimism albeit cautiously.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Real Madrid will present the Frenchman with a contract proposal on January 1. The Spanish club will then give him 15 days to respond to the offer.

Erling Haaland

Alongside Mbappé, the latest transfer update is that the Madrid hierarchy maintains active interest in Erling Haaland, who harbors a dream of donning the white jersey.

While Manchester City contemplates a contract extension with improved terms, Haaland’s inclination towards a potential move to Real Madrid remains strong, with his representatives keeping communication channels open with the club.

Despite these high-profile pursuits, Real Madrid aims to refrain from significant investments in the right-back position.

This strategic decision underscores the club’s confidence in its current players and prioritizes reinforcing other crucial areas over seeking external options.
