It seems difficult to accept Real Madrid’s draw last night in Mallorca, although this will not change the plans of the Madrid club at the end of the transfer window.
Carlo Ancelotti said in the press conference before the Mallorca match: “The team is complete and now we have to wait 12 days for this period to end. We do not need defenders, Alaba will recover quickly and in good health and we also have young players ready to play with us, unfortunately Juan was injured, but we also have Jacobo and Asensio who can contribute in some matches.”
However, as expected, the draw with Mallorca has sparked rumours about the possibility of signing a midfielder before the end of the transfer window.
According to the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central: Bayern Munich have Leon Goretzka on the market and are constantly offering his services to teams that might want to acquire him.
The Germans are asking for 40 million euros, although they could let him go for 30 million euros, something that Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Napoli know, the clubs that Bayern have contacted in order to sell the player.
There was no interest from the Santiago Bernabeu, although Leon Goretzka was a player Carlo Ancelotti had wanted in the past, although his characteristics had nothing to do with what the club currently needed, so Perez decided to reject the player because the priority now was to sign a defender.
