After a season that fell short of the expectations of its fans, Real Madrid is looking to regroup and significantly strengthen its squad ahead of the upcoming campaign. The Royal team ended the season without a title, having lost the Spanish league to their arch-rivals, suffered an early exit from the Copa del Rey, and endured a painful elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Arsenal in the quarter-finals.
These results, considered disappointing given the club’s history and achievements, have prompted the sporting management, led by Florentino Pérez, to act quickly in the transfer market, aiming to build a more solid and balanced team capable of reclaiming domestic and European prestige.
