Carlo Ancelotti will have a month to rest and find a solution to the problems that have plagued Real Madrid during the last matches before the World Cup in Qatar. It will remain at his disposal those players who will not attend the tournament, such as Toni Kroos, Andre Lunin, Nacho Fernandez and Ferland Mendy, among others, and he will be able to seize the opportunity to see some of the young players up close. Sub or youth teams
But, as it turns out, he will not lose sight of everything that happens during the World Cup. He will closely monitor the football players of the team who will participate in the tournament, and will pray that there are no injuries. And of course he will be closely following some of the players on the agenda, who would very much like to arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu in January or at the summer market. The first of them will be Diogo Dalot
The Portugal international is one of the candidates to strengthen the right-back, and they know it’s a unique opportunity to bring in a player with a lot of experience at the elite, and at no cost. His contract with Manchester United expires in June, so they can seize the opportunity to close his recruitment for free. At the moment, he has yet to renew his contract, despite it being a key piece for Erik Ten Hag
He is only 23 years old, and it will also be a bet on the future. In addition to the former Porto and AC Milan player, another star that Ancelotti thinks could be a great addition is Tielemans, who will be a “low-cost” alternative to the midfield. Although the favorite is Judd Bellingham, of Borussia Dortmund, his price tag is very high, and the huge competition at the auction means that Florentino Perez has to consider alternatives
That’s why they thought of the Belgium international, who will also be a free agent in a few months, like Diogo Dalot, who decided not to renew with Leicester City
Oddly enough, in the case and case of Diogo Dalot, it happens that they are not only in the plans of Madrid. Barcelona is also ready to take advantage of the fact that they can land absolutely free to sign high-profile footballers
However, Florentino Perez hopes to be able to get past Joan Laporta, and bring both, or at least one of them, to Ancelotti. For now, they will continue their shows in Qatar
