Real Madrid continues its downward spiral after the tough loss to Milan in the Champions League, in the match that brought the two teams together at the Bernabeu and ended with a 3-1 victory for the Italian side.
Real Madrid, whose fans were expecting a strong response after the Clasico loss to Barcelona, however, the level the team displayed against Milan was shocking to everyone.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” Real Madrid is going through a difficult period, with many players suffering from a decline in form.In yesterday’s match against Milan, both Aurelien Tchouameni and Lucas Vazquez stood out due to their disappointing performances.
Both Tchouameni and Lucas Vazquez have underperformed in their respective roles within the team. Lucas’s contract expires in June 2025, while Tchouameni continues to attract interest from Premier League clubs, making him one of the players who could leave the club in the upcoming transfer window to provide the necessary funds for future signings, especially in defense or midfield.
As for Lucas Vazquez, who will turn 34 in July 2025, the coming days could mark his last at Madrid, especially after Dani Carvajal’s recent contract renewal. Real Madrid are planning to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold in January to be ready for next season, which increases the likelihood of Lucas leaving to accept a lucrative offer.
As for Tchouameni, there was high confidence in his ability to replace Casemiro in the holding midfield role, but his performances since joining the club have been unsatisfactory. Despite his brilliance in his first six months at Real Madrid, he has experienced a noticeable dip in form and has not yet been able to fully regain his fitness.
Although Tchouameni’s departure was previously ruled out, the club is now open to the possibility of selling him in the summer transfer market of 2025. If a suitable offer arrives, he may be sold, as his performances no longer align with the club’s aspirations for him as one of the main pivots in the team.
